Everything about George Talbot 6th Earl Of Shrewsbury totally explained
George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury and Waterford KG, (
1528 –
18 November 1590) was an
English statesman during the
16th century.
Talbot was the only son of
Francis Talbot, 5th Earl of Shrewsbury. In
1560, he inherited the
Earldom of Shrewsbury, the
Barony of Furnivall and the position of
Justice in Eyre, which had been his father's. One year later, he was created a
Knight of the Garter, and in
1567, he married
Bess of Hardwick in a double wedding with their two eldest children from previous marriages. However their marriage was marred by Lord Shrewsbury's selection as the keeper of
Mary, Queen of Scots (who was effectively exiled by
Queen Elizabeth I).
Meanwhile, in
1571, Lord Shrewsbury was appointed
Lord High Steward (the premier
Great Office of State) for the trial of
Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk (regarding the
Ridolfi plot). Finally, in
1572, Lord Shrewsbury was appointed
Earl Marshal, a position that he held (along with the aforementioned position of Justice in Eyre) until his death in
1590. Upon his death, his eldest son, Gilbert Talbot (from the marriage with
Gertrude Manners), inherited the earldom. He was buried in the Shrewsbury chapel at
Sheffield Parish Church (now Sheffield Cathedral), where a large monument to him can still be seen.
