See also:TALBOT (See also:FAMILY) . Apart from its achievements, this is one of the few families in the See also:English See also:aristocracy which traces alike its descent and its surname from the See also:Norman conquerors of See also:England; and it may be said that there has hardly been a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time during more than seven centuries in which the Talbots have not been of considerable See also:account in public See also:life. Yet in some periods they appear rather as a potential See also:influence, while at certain marked epochs they stand out among the most prominent actors in English See also:history. The name of See also:Richard Talbot occurs in Domesday See also:Book as the holder of nine hides of See also:land in See also:Bedfordshire under See also:Walter See also:Giffard. There is no See also:evidence that he came over to England with the Conqueror himself; and, as he did not hold of the See also:- KING

His son Richard, who had married a daughter and co-heiress of See also:John See also:Comyn of See also:Badenoch, laid claim to certain lands in Scotland in her right, and, when restrained from entering that See also:country by land (Edward III. having then made an See also:alliance with King See also:David), he joined in a successful expedition which invaded it by See also:sea in the interests of Edward See also:Baliol. Three years later he was taken prisoner in Scotland, and redeemed for 2000 marks, after which the king made him See also:governor of See also:Berwick. He took part also in Edward's See also:wars against See also:France, as did like-See also:wise his son Gilbert, who succeeded him. His wife had brought him the See also:noble seat of See also:Goodrich Castle on the Wye, and at this time the family possessed lands in the counties of See also:- OXFORD

- OXFORD, ROBERT HARLEY, 1ST
Oxford, See also:Gloucester, See also:Hereford and See also:Kent. Gilbert's son Richard added to this See also:inheritance by marrying the heiress of See also:Lord See also:Strange of Blackmere, and himself became under Richard II. one of the heirs of the See also:earl of See also:Pembroke, thus adding to his estates, lands in See also:Berkshire, Wilts, Salop and See also:Essex. Another Gilbert Talbot, See also:grandson of the last, claimed to carry the great spurs at the See also:coronation of Henry V., and had a See also:commission to receive the submission of See also:Owen See also:Glendower and his adherents. He also distinguished himself in the invasion of Normandy. He was twice married, his second wife being a Portuguese See also:lady, but he See also:left no male issue, and was succeeded by his See also:brother John.
Hitherto the head of the house had See also:borne the name of Lord Talbot; but this John, after obtaining by See also:marriage the See also:title of Lord Furnival, was for his distinguished actions created earl of See also:Shrewsbury (see SHREWSBURY, JOHN TALBOT, Ist earl of).
Besides his See also:martial exploits, this John claims some See also:attention for his family alliances. His first wife Maud, a granddaughter of Thomas, Lord Furnival, brought him the castle of See also:Sheffield as part of her inheritance, and he was accordingly summoned to parliament in the days of Henry IV. as John Talbot of Hallamshire, otherwise Lord Furnival, more than See also:thirty years before he was made earl of Shrewsbury. The See also:property became a favourite See also:residence of the family during the Tudor era; and, but for the See also:death in 1616 of Gilbert, 7th earl of Shrewsbury, without male issue, Sheffield might have remained much longer a centre of feudal magnificence rather than of See also:commerce and manufactures. The second wife of John, earl of Shrewsbury, was See also:Margaret, the eldest of three daughters of Richard See also:Beauchamp, earl of See also:Warwick, by that earl's second wife, a daughter of Thomas, Lord See also:Berkeley. By her he obtained a third part of the Berkeley property; and, though she did not become the See also:mother of a See also:line of earls, her eldest son, John Talbot, was created See also:Viscount See also:Lisle, and it was he who See also:fell along with his See also:father at the disastrous See also:battle of See also:Chatillon in See also:Gascony. His son Thomas, who inherited the title of Viscount Lisle, was slain at the early See also:age of twenty-two in a feudal contest with Lord Berkeley, arising out of a dispute as to the See also:possession of Berkeley castle, on the loth of See also:March 1470; and the title was afterwards conferred on Edward See also:Grey, the See also:husband of one of his two sisters.
John, the second earl of Shrewsbury, was the 1st earl's son by his first wife. He had been knighted at See also:Leicester in 1426 along with the See also:infant king Henry VI., had served in the wars of France, and been made See also:chancellor of See also:Ireland during his father's lifetime, when he was only Lord Talbot. Afterwards he was made lord high treasurer of England, and in 1459 was rewarded for his services to the house of Lancaster with a grant of too marks a See also:year out of the lordship of See also:Wakefield, forfeited by Richard, See also:duke of See also:York. But next year he and his brother See also:Christopher were slain at the battle of See also:Northampton, fighting in the cause of Henry VI. His son John succeeded him, and then his grandson See also:George, who fought for Henry VII. at Stoke, and whom King Henry VIII. sent as his See also:lieutenant against the rebels in the See also:Pilgrimage of See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)
- GRACE, WILLIAM GILBERT (1848– )
Grace. But perhaps the thing which most redounds to his See also:credit is the humanity with which he received the fallen See also:Cardinal See also:Wolsey into his house at Sheffield when he was on his way up to See also:London as a See also:state prisoner.
See also:Francis, the 5th earl, took a leading part in the invasions of
Scotland under Henry VIII. and Edward VI., and was one of the two peers who alone opposed the See also:bill for abolishing the See also:pope's See also:jurisdiction under See also:Elizabeth. His son George, who succeeded, was the earl to whom the custody of See also:Mary See also:Stuart was committed, his task being rendered all the more difficult for him by the intrigues of his second wife, Bess of Hardwick, the builder of See also:Chatsworth, who had married three husbands before her See also:union with him. Two sons of this last earl succeeded one another, and the title then devolved, for want of male issue, on the lineal descendants of See also:Sir Gilbert Talbot of See also:Grafton in See also:Worcestershire, third son of John, the 2nd earl. But the old baronies of Talbot, Strange of Blackmere, and Furnival had passed away in 1616 to the daughters of the 7th earl, of whom the youngest married Thomas (See also:Howard) earl of See also:Arundel, whose descendant, the duke of See also:Norfolk, has the valuable Furnival estates. The above Sir Gilbert had fought for Henry VII. at See also:Bosworth, where he was severely wounded, was knighted on the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger.

He fought also at Stoke against the insurgents with See also:Lambert See also:Simnel, was made a See also:knight See also:banneret, governor of See also:Calais, and lord See also:- CHAMBERLAIN (0.

The 9th earl, George, descended from this Gilbert, died unmarried, and his See also:nephew, who followed, was succeeded by his grandson Francis, chiefly memorable for his unhappy See also:fate.

William III. to the dignity of a duke, but as he left no son this title died along with him in 1718, and the earldom of Shrewsbury devolved on his See also:cousin Gilbert, a See also:Roman See also:Catholic See also:priest.
From this time the See also:direct line of Sir Gilbert Talbot of Grafton began to fail. A nephew three times succeeded to an See also:uncle, and then the title devolved upon a cousin, who died unmarried in 1856. On the death of this cousin the descent of the title was for a See also:short time in dispute, and the lands were claimed for Lord See also:Edmund Howard (now Talbot), an infant son of the duke of Norfolk, under the will of the last earl; but the courts decided that, under a private See also:act obtained by the duke of Shrewsbury shortly before his death, the title and bulk of the estates must go together, and the true successor to the earldom was found in Earl Talbot, the head of another line of the descendants of Sir Gilbert Talbot of Grafton, sprung from a second marriage of Sir Gilbert's son, Sir John Talbot of Albrighton. The head of this family in the beginning of the 18th See also:century was a divine of some See also:mark, William Talbot, who died See also:bishop of See also:Durham in 1730. His son Charles, who filled the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of lord chancellor, was created Baron Talbot of Hensol in Glamorgan-See also:shire in 1733; and his son William was advanced to the dignity of Earl Talbot in 1761, to which was added Ingestre, the See also:barony of Dynevor, with See also:special See also:remainder to his daughter, Lady See also:Cecil See also:Rice, in 1780. Then succeeded a nephew, who was created Viscount and Earl Talbot, and assumed by royal See also:licence the surname of Chetwynd before Talbot, from his mother.
All the titles just mentioned have been See also:united in the line of the Earl Talbot who successfully claimed the Shrewsbury title as the 18th earl, the earldom of Shrewsbury (1442) being now the See also:oldest existing that is not merged in a higher title.
