	Gentleman's Magazine 1865 part 1 p.101 The earldom of Carlisle was created in 1661, in favour of the great-grandson of Lord William Howard (the famous "Belted Will"), who was the second son of Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, attainted and beheaded in 1572. Through seven generations, extending over two centuries, the title has descended direct from father to son till now, and the marriage connections of the respective holders have been exclusively aristocratic. The third earl married a daughter of the Earl of Essex; the fourth married a daughter of Lord Byron; the fifth married a daughter of the Marquis of Stafford; and the sixth married a daughter of the Duke of Devonshire. The late Earl's sisters, six in number, became allied by marriage with the houses of two dukedoms, two earldoms, and two baronies.
