Earl of Pembroke

The earldom of Pembroke, associated with Pembroke Castle in Wales, was created by King Stephen I of England. Several times the line has become extinct, and the earldom has been re-created, starting the count over again with a new first earl. On 1 September 1533 King Henry VIII created Anne Boleyn Marchinoness of Pembroke in her own right, a signal honor, because his great-uncle Jasper Tudor had been the earl of Pembroke.
