Pembroke, KARL or. 1 

 title held l>y tin- f;umly of Herbert. 

 In tin- Middle Ages, as Pembroke- 

 shire was 

 a palatine 

 county, it was 

 a n important 

 office. The first 

 earl was (Jil- 

 bert de Clare, 

 created in 1 138, 

 and the second 

 his son Richard, 



Remind Herbert. known as 

 15th Earl of Pern- Strongbow. In 

 broke 1176,onStrong- 



*/*" bow's death, it 



passed to his son-in-law, William 

 Marshal. The Marshal earls held 

 it until 1245. When the family 

 became extinct William de Valence 

 secured the rich earldom by 

 marriage, but his male line failed in 

 1324. Lawrence, Lord Hastings ; 

 Humphrey, duke of Gloucester ; 

 William de la Pole, and Jasper 

 Tudor were then in turn earls. 



In 1408 Sir William Herbert was 

 made earl of Pembroke, but his 

 son William exchanged it for 

 another title. In 1551, however. 

 Sir William Herbert, of an illegiti- 

 mate branch of the family, was 

 made earl, and the title has since 

 been held by his descendants. He 

 and his son, Henry, the 2nd earl, 

 were prominent men in the time of 

 Elizabeth ; the latter was the 

 husband of Mary Sidney. The 

 3rd earl was the one whose name 

 is associated with Shakespeare. 

 Philip, the 4th earl, was in 1605 

 made earl of Montgomery, and later 

 earls have since borne the double 

 title. Thomas, the Sth earl, was a 

 politician in the time of William 

 III. In 1913 Reginald Herbert 

 became the 15th earl. The earl's 

 chief seat is Wilton House, near 

 Salisbury. His eldest son is called 

 Lord Herbert.
