Biography of Robert Pierrepont 3rd Earl Kingston 1660-1682
Paternal Family Tree: Pierrepoint
Evelyn's Diary. 02 Jul 1649. I went from Wotton, Surrey [Map] to Godstone, Surrey (the residence of Sir John Evelyn (age 58)), where was also [his grandfather] Sir John Evelyn of Wilts. (age 47), when I took leave of both Sir Johns and their ladies. Mem. the prodigious memory of Sir John of Wilts' (age 47) [his mother] daughter, since married to [his father] Mr. W. Pierrepont [Note. Mr R Pierrepoint], and mother of the present Earl of Kingston. I returned to Sayes Court, Deptford [Map] this night.
Around 1660 Robert Pierrepont 3rd Earl Kingston was born to Robert Pierrepont and Elizabeth Evelyn.
In 1666 [his father] Robert Pierrepont died.
On 08 Dec 1680 Henry Pierrepont 1st Marquess Dorchester (age 74) died. He was buried at Holme Pierrepoint [Map]. Marquess Dorchester extinct. His great nephew Robert Pierrepont 3rd Earl Kingston (age 20) succeeded 3rd Earl Kingston upon Hull, 3rd Viscount Newark, 3rd Baron Pierrepont of Holme Pierrepoint.
Evelyn's Diary. 15 Nov 1681. I dined with the Earl of Essex (age 49) who, after dinner in his study, where we were alone, related to me how much he had been scandalized and injured in the report of his being privy to the marriage of his Lady's (age 45) niece (age 14), the rich young widow of the late Lord Ogle, sole daughter of the Earl of Northumberland; showing me a letter of Mr. Thynn's (age 33), excusing himself for not communicating his marriage to his Lordship (age 49). He acquainted me also with the whole story of that unfortunate lady being betrayed by her grandmother, the Countess of Northumberland (age 58), and Colonel Bret, for money; and that though, upon the importunity of the Duke of Monmouth (age 32), he had delivered to the grandmother a particular of the jointure which Mr. Thynn (age 33) pretended he would settle on the lady, yet he totally discouraged the proceeding as by no means a competent match for one that both by birth and fortune might have pretended to the greatest prince in Christendom; that he also proposed the Earl of Kingston (age 21), or the Lord Cranburn, but was by no means for Mr. Thynn (age 33).
In Jun 1682 Robert Pierrepont 3rd Earl Kingston (age 22) died at Dieppe, Seine Maritime, Haute Normandie. He was buried at the Church of St Edmund Holme Pierrepoint [Map]. His brother [his brother] William Pierrepont 4th Earl Kingston (age 20) succeeded 4th Earl Kingston upon Hull, 4th Viscount Newark, 4th Baron Pierrepont of Holme Pierrepoint.
Evelyn's Diary. 06 Jun 1687. I visited my [his mother] Lady Pierpoint, daughter to [his grandfather] Sir John Evelyn, of Deane [in Wilts], now widow of [his father] Mr. Pierpoint, and mother of the Earl of Kingston. She was now engaged in the marriage of my cousin, [his brother] Evelyn Pierpoint (age 32), her second son.
