Sir Robert Talbot, 2nd Baronet

Sir Robert Talbot, 2nd Baronet (1608 – after 1670) of Carton was an Irish landowner, soldier, and politician.

Robert was born in 1608, the eldest son of William Talbot and his wife Alison Netterville.

Among his younger brothers were Peter Talbot, who became the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, and the soldier and courtier Richard Talbot, whose career eventually eclipsed Robert's as Richard rose to become Lord Lieutenant of Ireland under James II and commanded the Royal Irish Army during the Williamite War.

Like most other Old English families, the Talbots and Nettervilles remained Roman Catholics after the Reformation.
