Today a hundred years ago, George Herbert, fifth Earl of Carnarvon, died, about five months after the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, which he funded. Herbert was also, of course, the surname of the Earls of Huntingdon/ Pembroke, who included Richard III’s son-in-law William. The earlier of these families dates from the fifteenth century, when Welsh patronymics often gave way to anglicised surnames, so is there a connection?
The Herbert of Carnarvon arms, which title dates from 1793, are shown top left and this table clearly shows them to be descended from the younger son ofthe eighth Earl of Pembroke, whose shield is identical.
