The title Earl Talbot has been created twice in the Peerage of Great Britain. The first creation was for William Talbot, 2nd Baron Talbot, upon whose death the earldom became extinct. He was also granted the subsidiary title of Viscount Ingestre. The second creation was for John Chetwynd Chetwynd-Talbot. The third earl of that creation, Henry John Chetwynd-Talbot, later succeeded to the Earldom of Shrewsbury, and the two earldoms have remained united since.
