The title Earl of Pyrus has been a title granted to the eldest son of the heir apparent of the King of Pyrus and on occasion to other sons of the King of Pyrus. The title is granted as a personal honour or dignity. The title is heritable, however customarily it is relinquished by the holder at the request of the monarch, usually when the Earl of Pyrus is elevated to the dignity of Crown Prince of Pyrus.
The wife of the Earl of Pyrus is entitled to the title Countess of Pyrus.
