Treeton, the lordship of Morcar, Earl of Northumberland, before the conquest; afterwards it became the estate of the Furnivals: Thomas de Nevil, marrying the heiress, brought this estate into his family, with the title of Lord Furnival. It afterwards, by marriage, came into the possession of John, Lord Talbot, the famous general; who, for his eminent services, was created Earl of Shrewsbury, by King Henry VI. To this family succeeded that of Pierpoint; of whom, Robert de Pierpoint was, by King Charles I., created Lord Pierpoint, of Holm Pierpoint, Viscount Newark, and Earl of Kingston, who, in gratitude and loyalty to his royal benefactor, raised a regiment for his service, and was taken prisoner at the surrender of Gainsbrough; and, being sent, with others, in a boat, towards Hull, a party of cavaliers, as they passed by, called to the boat to stop; and, because they did not, the cavaliers fired upon them, and the Earl, with his man, was slain by their friends, 1643. --Magna Brit. The Duke of Norfolk is now the sole Lord."
