In 1628, Pope purchased an earldom in the Irish Peerage for £2,500, and he was created Earl of Downe and Baron Pope of Belturbet on 16 October that year.[2][3]
He married Anne Hopton, daughter of Sir Owen Hopton, in 1595. Upon his death in 1631, Pope was succeeded in his title by his grandson, Thomas Pope; Pope's eldest son, the politician Sir William Pope, having predeceased him. He was buried in Wroxton church, where he shares an elaborate memorial with his wife.[4]
