The duel may, less plausibly, be about Talbot's first wife Anne Conyers although Pepys appears to contradict this. Francis Talbot 11th Earl of Shrewsbury was fatally wounded dying two months later. Following the duel George Villiers 2nd Duke of Buckingham commenced living with Shrewsbury's wife Anne Maria. His wife Mary Fairfax Duchess Buckingham [aged 29] returned to live with her parents.

John Evelyn's Diary. 19th September 1679.

After dinner I went to prayers at Eton College [Map], and visited Mr. Henry Godolphin [aged 31], fellow there, and Dr. Craddock.

John Evelyn's Diary. 19th February 1686. Many bloody and notorious duels were fought about this time. The Duke of Grafton [aged 22] kill'd Mr. Stanley, brother to the Earle of Shrewsbury [aged 25], indeede upon an almost insufferable provocation. It is to be hop'd his Ma* [aged 52] will at last severely remedy this unchristian custome. Lord Sunderland [aged 44] was now Secretary of State, President of the Council, and Premier Minister.

In 1699 Charles Talbot 1st Duke Shrewsbury [aged 38] was appointed Lord Chamberlain.

John Evelyn's Diary. 24th April 1700. This week there was a great change of State officers. The Duke of Shrewsbury [aged 39] resigned his Lord Chamberlainship to the Earl of Jersey [aged 44], the Duke's indisposition requiring his retreat. Mr. Vernon [aged 54], Secretary of State, was put out. The Seal was taken from the Lord Chancellor Somers [aged 49], though he had been acquitted by a great majority of votes for what was charged against him in the House of Commons. This being in term time, put some stop to business, many eminent lawyers refusing to accept the office, considering the uncertainty of things in this fluctuating conjuncture. It is certain that this Chancellor was a most excellent lawyer, very learned in all polite literature, a superior pen, master of a handsome style, and of easy conversation; but he is said to make too much haste to be rich, as his predecessor, and most in place in this age did, to a more prodigious excess than was ever known. But the Commons had now so mortified the Court party, and property and liberty were so much invaded in all the neighbouring kingdoms, that their jealousy made them cautious, and every day strengthened the law which protected the people from tyranny.

On 20th April 1702 [his mother] Anna Maria Brudenell Countess Shrewsbury and Waterford [aged 60] died.
