with the Earl of Pembroke
Portraits of four aristocratic families by Alison Plowden
The Herberts were created Earls of Pembroke by Henry VIII, who also gave them land at Wilton in Wiltshire and elsewhere. Shakespeare, Inigo Jones and Florence Nightingale figure prominently in the family history. The black sheep was the seventh Earl, whose claim to fame is the number of people he killed.
