| | Earl of Pembroke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Strongbow having died without male issue, his daughter Isabel became Countess of Pembroke in her own right, and the title was borne by her husband, Sir William Marshal, or Le Marchal, second son of John le Marchal, by Sibylle, the sister of Patrick, Earl of Salisbury. |
 | | In 1414 Humphrey Plantagenet, fourth son of King Henry IV, was created Duke of Gloucester and Earl of Pembroke for life, these titles being subsequently made hereditary, with a reversion as regards the Earldom of Pembroke, in default of heirs to Humphrey, to William de la Pole, 1st Duke of Suffolk. |
 | | His brother, Philip Herbert, 4th Earl of Pembroke (1584-1650), was for some years the chief favourite of James I, owing this position to his comely person and his passion for hulking and for field sports generally. |
