_Sir George Carew._--Sir George Carew, the able commander and crafty
statesman of Queen Elizabeth's time, was created Earl of Totness. His
grandfather mortgaged his ancestral estate of Carew, in Pembrokeshire, to
Sir Rhys ap Thomas, who, with its subsequent possessors, Sir John Perrot
and the Earl of Essex, made great additions to Carew Castle, the
magnificent remains of which entitle it to be called the ruined Windsor of
Wales.
The Carews then pushed their fortunes in Ireland, and endeavoured to
recover the "Marquisate of Cork" on an obsolete and false claim. {611}
The writer wishes for an accurate pedigree of Sir George Carew, showing his
relationship to Sir Peter Carew, who was buried at Ross, and to Sir Peter
who was killed at the skirmish of Glendalough in 1581.
