Created Earl of Shrewsbury 20 May 1442. Created Earl of Waterford 17 Jul 1446.
He was a major military commander of the Hundred Years' War, and was killed on the field at the Battle of Castillon, considered the last battle of that conflict. A monument to him was raised by the French generals who defeated him. His death in battle is portrayed in a painting by Charles-Philippe Larivière.
He spent four years a prisoner in France, after Joan of Arc stopped his string of successes there at the battle of Pattay, 1429.
He appears in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1 as "valiant Lord Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, Created, for his rare success in arms."
