Tarleton
The Earldom of Tarleton is located on the plain of Iomaire near the city of Carbury in northeastern Gwynedd. It is created by King Festil I Furstán in 822 and awarded to his friend and comrade, Philippe Cinq-Lorrons. Philippe adopts the surname Sinclair, and his direct line holds the title for over a century. However, the family of the fifth Earl of Tarleton is attainted in 948, and the title falls into abeyance.

Famous quotes containing the word tarleton:
“We follow where the Swamp Fox guides,
His friends and merry men are we;
And when the troop of Tarleton rides,
We burrow in the cypress tree.
The turfy hammock is our bed,
Our home is in the red deer’s den,
Our roof, the tree-top overhead,
For we are wild and hunted men.”
—William Gilmore Simms (1806–1872)
