Gertrude Pierrepont, Countess of Kingston-upon-Hull

Gertrude Pierrepont, Countess of Kingston-upon-Hull (29 September 1580 – 1649), formerly Gertrude Talbot, was an English noblewoman, the wife of Robert Pierrepont, 1st Earl of Kingston-upon-Hull, and the daughter of Henry Talbot and his wife, the former Elizabeth Reyner.

Henry Talbot was a younger son of George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, and Gertrude was his elder daughter and co-heir. She married Pierrepont at Kinwalton Church, on 8 January 1601, and he inherited his father's earldom in 1615.

Their children included:

• Henry Pierrepont, 1st Marquess of Dorchester (1606–1680), who married, first, Cecilia Bayning, by whom he had children, and second, Lady Catherine Stanley
• Francis Pierrepont (died 1658 or 1659), who married Elizabeth Bray and had children
• William Pierrepont (1607/8–1679), who married Elizabeth Harries and had children
• Gervas Pierrepont (named as responsible for her monument), who died unmarried
• Elizabeth Pierrepont, who died unmarried
• Frances Pierrepont (born 1615), who married Philip Rolleston and had children
• George Pierrepont, who married and had children
• Mary, who died in infancy

Some of the earl's children may have been illegitimate.

The earl was killed by friendly fire in 1643, while fighting for King Charles I of England in the English Civil War. The couple's eldest son Henry was created a marquess in 1645. The countess died, aged 61, and a memorial was erected by her son at St Edmund's Church, Holme Pierrepont, near the family seat; it describes her as "replete with all the qualities that adorn her sex; and more eminent in them than in the greatness of her birth...."
