No. The eldest son of an Earl usually takes on one of his father's lesser titles: for instance say the Earl of X also has the titles Viscount Y and Baron Z. The Earl's son is thus known as Viscount Y. If Viscount Y has a son in his father's lifetime, that son, the Earl's grandson becomes known as Baron Z. Note that these titles are courtesy titles, and are not official. The Earl of X's son may be known as Viscount Y, but the official Viscount Y is still the Earl himself. Note also that in some cases an Earl will not have any lesser subsidiary titles (i.e. the Earl Temple of Stowe). In such a case, the Earl's son and heir will be given a made-up title (the Earl Temple's son is known as Lord Langton, a title that does not legally exist). These same rules apply to Dukes and Marquesses, but not to Viscounts or Barons: sons of Viscounts and Barons are not entitled to courtesy titles.

Richard Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, was a cousin of Elizabeth I and a personal favorite of the queen. However, due to Essex's frequent insubordination, rash temper and dangerous political enemies, he fell out of favor, launched a rebellion, was tried for treason and executed.
The Earl of Essex was the title of Robert Devereux, son of Lettice Knollys and stepson of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Because of his relationship with Leicester, Essex became one of Elizabeth I's favourites. He was however a vain, ambitious and incompetent man. He has two connections with Shakespeare. First, in Henry V, Shakespeare makes reference to the Earl's campaign to defeat the rebels in Ireland. Second, and more interestingly, Essex, after returning from a miserable defeat in Ireland, and expecting Elizabeth to be angry with him, decided that he was more popular than the queen. He likened himself to Henry Bolingbroke, Duke of Lancaster, who usurped the throne from Richard II, and to give himself more confidence, had Shakespeare's company play Shakespeare's play Richard II which concerns the usurpation. All for naught though, as the Queen was immensely popular and Essex was not, and his miserable rebellion was quickly mopped up and he was quickly consigned to the Tower where he was beheaded.

I believe Queen Elizabeth had 6 suitors but i am not sure who they were. I have been researching this all week and can only find 3 answers. Queen Elizabeth had a very close relationship with Robert Dudley duke of Lester but did not marry him for the simply reason because he was already married with children. They knew each other since the beginning of there lives so when Robert got married people said he betraid her. After Robert got married Elizabeth got close to the Earl of Essex aswell. Another one of Elizabeths suitors was Thomas Seymour but unfortunutly i can't find and information about him. Rosiie Age 12
Elizabeth I had several suitors throughout her reign, but the four most prominent ones were Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, Francis, Duke of Anjou, King Philip II of Spain, and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex. None of these suitors resulted in marriage for Elizabeth.
she didn't like him

Because he was married before and there were rumors going around that he had killed his wife. Although they both loved each other they chose to never get married and Elizabeth continued to be a virgin.
Elizabeth I chopped off the Earl of Essex's head because she had a soft spot for him and she didn't want to fall in love because she said she was married to England.
