  Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 20th Earl of Shrewsbury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His grandfather, the 3rd Earl Talbot, had inherited the earldoms from a very distant cousin, and had to prove his claim to the premier earldoms of England and Ireland on the Roll in the House of Lords, by demonstrating his descent from the 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury and Waterford.
Lord Shrewsbury was the brother of Lady Gertrude Chetwynd-Talbot, wife (without issue) of the 13th Earl of Pembroke, and Lady Theresa Chetwynd-Talbot, wife of the 6th Marquess of Londonderry and a notable hostess.
Lord Shrewsbury was also responsible for the sale of Alton Towers, which had been the family seat of previous Earls of Shrewsbury (and had come into this branch once the will of the 17th Earl had been overturned).
