Earl of Powis

February 7th, 2010

Earl of Powis

Jump to: navigation, search

Powis Castle

Earl of Powis is a title that has been created three times. The first creation came in the Peerage of England in 1674 in favour of William Herbert, 3rd Baron Powis. In 1687 he was further honoured when he was made Marquess of Powis. For more information on this creation of the earldom, which became extinct in 1748, see the latter title.

The title was created again in 1748 in the Peerage of Great Britain for Henry Arthur Herbert, the husband of Barbara, daughter of Lord Edward Herbert, brother of the third Marquess of Powis. He notably represented Bletchingley and Ludlow in Parliament and served as Lord Lieutenant of Montgomeryshire and Shropshire. Herbert had already been created Baron Herbert of Chirbury in 1743 and was made Baron Powis and Viscount Ludlow at the same time he was given the earldom. In 1749 he was also created Baron Herbert of Chirbury, with a special remainder. His son, the second Earl, was also Lord Lieutenant of Montgomeryshire and Shropshire. However, on his death in 1801 all the titles became extinct (the person in remainder to the 1749 barony had died without heirs before the second Earl).

The title was created for the third time in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1804 when Edward Clive, 2nd Baron Clive, (being son-in-law of the 1st Earl of the previous creation) was made Earl of Powis, in the County of Montgomery. He had previously represented Ludlow in the House of Commons and served as Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire and Montgomeryshire. Clive was the husband of Lady Henrietta Antonia, daughter of the first Earl of Powis of the 1748 creation and sister and heiress of the second Earl. He had already been created Baron Clive, of Walcot in the County of Shropshire, in 1794, in the Peerage of Great Britain, and was made Baron Powis, of Powis Castle in the County of Montgomery, Baron Herbert, of Chirbury in the County of Shropshire, and Viscount Clive, of Ludlow in the County of Shropshire, at the same time he was given the earldom. Clive was the son of the famous soldier Robert Clive, who had been raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Clive, of Plassey in the County of Clare, in 1762. Known as “Clive of India”, he is regarded as a key figure in the establishment of British India.

The first Earl was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Earl. He sat as Member of Parliament for Ludlow and served as Lord Lieutenant of Montgomeryshire. In 1807 Lord Powis assumed by Royal license the surname and arms of Herbert. His son, the third Earl, represented Shropshire North in Parliament and served as Lord Lieutenant of Montgomeryshire. He was succeeded by his nephew, the fourth Earl. He was the son of Lieutenant-General the Right Honourable Sir Percy Egerton Herbert, second son of the second Earl. Lord Powis was Lord Lieutenant of Montgomeryshire. He married Violet Ida Evelyn Herbert, 16th Baroness Darcy de Knayth. Their only son Mervyn Horatio Herbert, Viscount Clive, succeeded his mother in the barony on her death in 1929. However, he predeceased his father and was succeeded in the barony by his daughter Davina.

Lord Powis was succeeded by his first cousin once removed, the fifth Earl. He was the son of the Hon. Colonel Edward William Herbert, son of the Hon. Robert Charles Herbert, fourth son of the second Earl. On his death the titles passed to his younger brother, the sixth Earl. He was succeeded by his second cousin, the seventh Earl. He was the son of the Right Reverend Percy Mark Herbert, Bishop of Blackburn and of Norwich, son of Major-General the Hon. William Henry Herbert, fifth son of the second Earl. As of 2010 the peerages are held by his son, the eighth Earl, who succeeded in 1993. Lord Powis is also Lord of the Manor of Clun.

The Hon. Robert Henry Clive, second son of the first Earl, married Harriett Windsor, 13th Baroness Windsor, in 1819. Their grandson Robert Windsor-Clive, 14th Baron Windsor, was created Earl of Plymouth in 1905. Consequently, the present holder of the earldom of Plymouth is also in remainder to the earldom of Powis and its subsidiary titles. George Windsor-Clive, second son of the Hon. Robert Henry Clive and Lady Windsor, was Member of Parliament for Ludlow for many years.

Another branch of the Clive family was founded by Reverend Benjamin Clive, uncle of the first Baron Clive. Members of this branch include George Clive, Edward Clive, George Clive, Edward Clive, Sir George Clive and Sir Robert Clive.

The family seat is Powis Castle, near Welshpool, Montgomeryshire, Wales.
