George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury (d.1590)
Earl of Shrewsbury (/ˈʃroʊzbəri/)[2] is a hereditary title of nobility created twice in the Peerage of England. The second earldom dates to 1442. The holder of the Earldom of Shrewsbury also holds the title of Earl of Waterford (1446) in the Peerage of Ireland and Earl Talbot (1784) in the Peerage of Great Britain. Shrewsbury and Waterford are the oldest earldoms in their peerages held by someone with no higher title (the oldest earldoms in each peerage being held by the Duke of Norfolk and Duke of Leinster, respectively), and as such the Earl of Shrewsbury is sometimes described as the premier earl of England and Ireland.[3][4]
