Robert Shirley, 1st Earl Ferrers (1650-1717)

The title of Earl Ferrers was created in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1711 for Sir Robert Shirley. It is the senior Earldom in the Peerage of Great Britain.

The Earl holds the subsidiary title of Viscount Tamworth (1711), which is used as a courtesy title by heirs-apparent to the Earldom.

The fourth earl is particularly notable as the last British peer to die a felon's death, in 1760, having murdered his steward.

The family seat is Haddenham Hall in Norfolk.
