His grandson, the fourth Earl, was Lord Steward of the Household between 1509 and 1538. His son, the fifth Earl, was summoned to the House of Lords through a writ of acceleration as Lord Talbot in 1533, five years before he succeeded his father. 

On his death, the titles passed to his son, the sixth Earl. Lord Shrewsbury was entrusted with the custody of Mary, Queen of Scots, and also served as Earl Marshal from 1572 to 1590. He married as his second wife the famous Bess of Hardwick.

Shrewsbury was succeeded by his son from his first marriage to Lady Gertrude Manners, the seventh Earl. He represented Derbyshire in the House of Commons and served as Lord Lieutenant of Derbyshire

He had no sons and on his death in 1616 the Baronies of Talbot, Strange of Blackmere and Furnivall fell into abeyance between his three daughters.

He was succeeded in the Earldoms by his younger brother,
the eighth Earl. He was Member of Parliament for Northumberland. He did not have a male heir, either, and was succeeded by his distant relative, the ninth Earl.

He was the great-great-grandson of Sir Gilbert Talbot (died 1518), third son of the second Earl of Shrewsbury. The family bought Barlow Woodseats Hall in 1593 as part of the estate.
