Footnotes

Provenance:
with F. Gorevic & Son Inc., New York, NY, 18 July 1990.

The full achievement of arms of Charles, 1st Earl Manvers, Viscount Newark and Baron Pierrepont of Nottinghamshire.

Charles (1737-1816) was the eldest son of the 1734 marriage of Philip Medow and Lady Frances Pierrepont. Philip Medow's father was deputy ranger of Richmond Park, while Lady Frances Pierrepont was the daughter of William Pierrepont, Earl of Kingston and eldest son of Evelyn, Marquess of Dorchester who was later created Duke of Kingston.

On succession to the estates of the Duke of Kingston in 1773, Charles assumed the name and arms of Pierrepont, and was raised to the peerage in 1796 with the titles Baron Pierrepont and Viscount Newark. He was advanced to the dignity of Earl Manvers in 1806.

The motto PIE REPONE TE (In pious confidence) is a play on the family name. The Manvers earldom became extinct in 1955.
