Bertram Arthur Talbot, 17th Earl of Shrewsbury, 17th Earl of Waterford (11 December 1832 – 10 August 1856) was a British nobleman.
Talbot was educated by private tutors. He succeeded his second cousin John as Earl of Shrewsbury and Waterford, and Lord High Steward of Ireland in 1852.[1] He was appointed to the ceremonial post of Vice-Admiral of Cheshire on 9 March 1854[2] and as a deputy lieutenant of Staffordshire on 9 June 1854. Shrewsbury died two years later, on 10 August 1856, and his peerages passed to the next male-line relative, the 3rd Earl Talbot, in the only major leap of the title. They shared the same ancestor nine generations back: John Talbot (died 1549).[1]
