In 1667, Francis Talbot was killed in a duel, his son inherited the title of Count. Lord Shrewsbury was originally a Catholic, but in 1679 he adopted Protestantism . It is also worth noting that this figure at the same time has an interest in theology [4] .
After the death of Charles II in 1685 , the new king was showered with the graces of the Earl of Shrewsbury. But due to pressure from the monarch in 1687, Charles Talbot left the service [4] . In 1688, Charles Talbot participated in a conspiracy against Jacob II [5] . He was one of seven influential people who invited William, Prince of Orange, to the throne of England [6] .
After the victory of the Glorious Revolution, the Earl of Shrewsbury held the most important government posts. In 1694 he was granted the title of Duke of Shrewsbury [4] .
During the reign of Queen Anne, Shrewsbury also held important government posts. In 1714, Anna even appointed Shrewsbury as Lord Treasurer [4] . But soon the queen died and Talbot lost his former influence.
The Duke of Shrewsbury died on February 1, 1718 [7] in his London house [7] .
