SHREWSBURY, EARLS OF

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 1016 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SHREWSBURY, EARLS OF . The earldom of
Shrewsbury
 , one of the most ancient in the
English
  peerage,
dates
  from the time of William the Conqueror. Roger de Montgomery (c. 1030-1094), son of another Roger de Montgomery, known as " the
Great
 ," was a councillor of William, duke of Normandy, before his invasion of England, and was probably entrusted by William with the government of Normandy during the expedition of Io66. Roger came to England in the following year and received extensive grants of
land
  in different parts of the kingdom. Obtaining thus a large territory in Sussex, including the city of Chichester and the castle of Arundel, he became
earl
  of Arundel, or probably and more correctly
earl
  of Sussex. In 1071 the greater
part
  of the county of Shropshire was granted to him, carrying with it the
title
  of earl of Shropshire, though, from his
principal
  residence at the castle of
Shrewsbury
 , he like his successors was generally styled earl of Shrewsbury. He probably exercised
palatine
  authority. He was the founder of Shrewsbury
