	Earl of Shrewsbury (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		In 1856 the Earldoms of Shrewsbury and Waterford passed to a branch of the family who also hold the titles of Earl Talbot and Viscount Ingestre, both created 1784, and Baron Talbot of Hensol, created 1733, in the Peerage of Great Britain.
		The Earldom of Waterford is sometimes called the "Premier Earldom of Ireland on the Roll", as the oldest Irish Earldom, that of Kildare, has been a subsidiary title of the Duke of Leinster for centuries and the Earl held the oldest Irish earldom held by anyone ranked as an earl.
		If Viscount Mountgarret proves his presumed claim to the 1328 Earldom of Ormonde, the Earls of Shrewsbury would lose this distinction, but they derive higher precedence from their English earldom in any event.

		The claims of the Barons of Allardice to the earldom of Airth, as heirs of the Grahams, Earls of Menteith, Strathearn and Airth, are well known to all students of the British peerage.
		Since the Earldom of Menteith was, in the original patent of nobility, reserved for the heirs-male of the original Graham grantee (i.e., a Graham of unbroken descent in the male line), the Allardice claim, as heirs in the female line of the Grahams, did not give them a viable claim to that earldom.
		In 1633 Charles I (son of James VI/I) regranted the Earldom of Menteith to the Grahams, under terms that precluded Graham claims to be heirs of David, Earl of Strathearn, but in partial compensation created the Earldom of Airth for the Grahams.

	Britannia History: Waltheof, Earl of Huntingdon and Northumberland
		For a variety of reasons, Northumberland revolted against Tostig in 1065 and the thegns demanded that the earldom be given to Morcar, brother of the Earl of Mercia, Edwin.
		Given that the earldoms in England at that time were awarded on a combination of family mana and personal ability, this granting of a minor earldom to the young and inexperienced Waltheof can be seen as a wise and shrewd move.
		The wealthy fled to the North of the Earldom or Scotland, the rest to the Camp of Refuge at the Isle of Ely, where Hereward the Wake was defying the Normans.

		He was the ‘stout and mighty Earl of Mar’ who gained the battle of Harlaw, in the year 1411, defeating Donald of the Isles with terrible slaughter, though outnumbered by ten to one, and thus terminating the protracted contest for superiority between the Celtic and the Saxon races.
		The territorial earldom, it was asserted, was indivisible, and could not be separated from the title, and as the former had ceased to exist, the ancient dignity could not be revived.

		Although the Orkneyinga Saga has no doubt as to the chain of events that led to the creation of the earldom, its version is historically dubious.
		Written at least 300 years after the events it claims to portray, the saga account is highly suspect and very likely to be a literary creation.

		The inheritance of the earldom can perhaps be viewed as more of a fortuitous accident than a planned marriage; Earl William was said to be between the ages of 26 and 30 in 1268, placing the marriage of William and Isabel in the late 1230s or early 1240s.
		Matriarchs connected to the earldom of Warwick had an unnerving ability to outlive their husbands by a considerable margin; in 1268 there were no less than three of these women, Countess Ela, Angaret, and Alice, who between them soaked up valuable demesne lands in the earl's possession.
		Her titular right to the earldom of Warwick was explicitly recognised in May 1398 by Richard II, when he gave her a life pension of 40 marks per annum.
