Baron Talbot of Malahide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Talbot of Malahide, in the County of Dublin, is a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1831 for Margaret Talbot, widow of Richard Talbot, heir of the ancient Lords of Malahide. She was succeeded by their eldest son, the second Baron. In 1839 he was created Baron Furnival, of Malahide in the County of Dublin, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. However, this title became extinct on his death while he was succeeded in the Irish barony by his younger brother, the third Baron. The latter was succeeded by his son, the fourth Baron.
In 1856, the fourth Baron was created Baron Talbot de Malahide, of Malahide in the County of Dublin, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, and later held office as a government whip in the Liberal administrations of Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell. When he died the titles passed to his eldest son, the fifth Baron, but this line of the family failed on the death in 1948 of the latter's son, the sixth Baron.
The peerages were inherited by the late Baron's first cousin, the seventh Baron. He was the son of Hon. Milo George Talbot, fourth son of the fourth Baron. Lord Talbot of Malahide was a diplomat and notably served as British Ambassador to Laos from 1955 to 1956.
However, on his death in 1973 the barony of 1856 became extinct while the Irish peerage passed to his third cousin, the eighth Baron. He was the second son of John Reginald Charles Talbot, grandson of Admiral the Hon. Sir John Talbot, third son of the first Baroness. When he died the title passed to his younger brother, the ninth Baron. The latter was succeeded by his first cousin once removed, the tenth and (as of 2007) present holder of the title.
The present holder is the son of Reginald John Arthur Arundell, who in 1945 assumed by Royal license the surname and arms of Arundell in lieu of his patronymic, eldest son of Reginald Aloysius Talbot (grandson of the aforementioned Admiral the Hon. Sir John Talbot) and his wife Mabile Mary Arundell, daughter of Hon. Robert Arthur Arundell, fourth son of James Everard Arundell, 9th Baron Arundell of Wardour. Lord Talbot of Malahide also holds the title Hereditary Lord Admiral of Malahide and Adjacent Seas (created by King Edward IV). His wife Patricia Mary, Lady Talbot of Malahide, is a Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the Knights of Malta (SMOM).
The colonist Thomas Talbot was the fourth son of Richard Talbot and the first Baroness Talbot of Malahide. Two of Lady Talbot of Malahide's brothers are also notable. Hugh Nugent (originally Hugh O'Reilly), was created a Baronet, of Ballinlough, in 1795 (see Nugent Baronets), while Andrew O'Reilly was a Field Marshal in the Austrian Army and a Count of the Austrian Empire.
The ancestral seat of the Talbot family until 1976 was Malahide Castle, County Dublin.
