Footnotes

Born Charles Talbot, he was the eldest son of Hon. John Talbot of Ingestre Hall and his wife, Charlotte, Countess Talbot a daughter of Wills Hill, 1st Marquess of Downshire. When Talbot's father was created Earl Talbot and Viscount Ingestre in 1784, Talbot assumed the latter as a courtesy title. His father also added Chetwynd to the family name in 1786. Talbot inherited his father's earldom and the Ingestre estate in 1793. After leaving Oxford, Lord Talbot joined the British embassy in Russia under Lord Whitworth, with whom he formed a lasting friendship. In 1803, Lord Talbot organised a volunteer force in Staffordshire to oppose a planned invasion by Napoleon.

In 1817, Talbot was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and admitted to the Privy Council. In recognition of his services to the agriculture of Ireland, he was awarded the Freedom of Drogheda, and during George IV's visit to the country in 1821, he was appointed a Knight of St Patrick. Although an opponent of Catholic emancipation, Daniel O'Connell gave Talbot credit for his impartiality and Lord Cloncurry called him 'an honourable, high-minded gentleman'. However, the growing discontent in Ireland under Talbot's administration forced the Prime Minister, Lord Liverpool, to have him replaced with Lord Wellesley in December 1821.

Charles Thomas, styled Viscount Ingestre (1802–1826) predeceased his father so his brother, Henry John, assumed the title Viscount Ingestre and, later 3rd Earl Talbot and 18th Earl of Shrewsbury.
