Baron Talbot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The title Baron Talbot has been created twice.

The title was created first in the Peerage of England. On 5 June 1331, Sir Gilbert Talbot was summoned to Parliament, by which he is held to have become Baron Talbot. The 5th Baron succeeded to the Barony of Strange ("de Blackmere") in 1413, and the 7th Baron (also 10th Baron Strange) was created Earl of Shrewsbury in 1446. The Baronies of Strange and Talbot were held by the Earls of Shrewsbury until the death of the 7th Earl, when both fell into abeyance. Neither has ever been called out of abeyance.

The title Lord Talbot, Baron of Hensol in the County of Glamorgan, was created in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1733 for Charles Talbot, a descendant of the 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury (the 8th Baron of the first creation). The 2nd Baron was created Earl Talbot, but that Earldom became extinct on his death. The 3rd Baron was created Earl Talbot and Viscount of Ingestre, and the Barony, Viscountcy and Earldom are now held by the Earl of Shrewsbury, the 3rd Earl Talbot of the second creation having succeeded as 18th Earl of Shrewsbury.
