  • The Opening of the Impeachment of Robert Harley, Earl of Oxford, June to September 1715: the ‘Memorandum’ of William Wake, Bishop of Lincoln
    The Opening of the Impeachment of Robert Harley, Earl of Oxford, June to September 1715: The ‘Memorandum’ of William Wake, Bishop of Lincoln Clyve Jones I On 30 July, Robert Harley, 1st earl of Oxford, was dismissed from his office of lord treasurer (in effect ‘prime minister’)1 by Queen Anne, and replaced by a ‘safer pair of hands’ in the shape of the duke of Shrewsbury, whose promotion was designed to ensure the succession of the protestant house of Hanover to the British throne.2 Two days later on 1 August, the queen herself died, and in mid-September George I landed at Greenwich to claim his inheritance. A year later, in July 1715 Oxford was impeached before the house of lords by the house of commons for high treason and high crimes and misdemeanours. Oxford was impeached by the body, the Commons, in which he had been one of the dominant politicians from the mid-1690s to his promotion to the peerage in May 1711, and had been Speaker of the Commons from 1701 to 1705. Oxford’s fall from grace was shared by Lord Bolingbroke (secretary of state, 1710 to 31 August 1714), the duke of Ormond (commander-in-chief of the British forces on the Continent, 1712-14) and the earl of Strafford (chief British negotiator of the treaty of Utrecht), all of whom were impeached between July and September 1715. These prominent politicians in the largely tory ministry of 1710 to 1714 had been tainted with the accusation of jacobitism (support of the exile Old Pretender, catholic son of the late king James II), though some with more reason than others, who had fallen foul of the whig opposition to the ministry and the parliamentary sanctioned heir-in-waiting, the elector of Hanover.

  • Chapter Five the Earls and Royal Government
    Chapter Five The Earls and Royal Government: General There are two angles from which the subject of the earls and royal government should be approached. The earls were in- volved at every level of government, from the highest offices of household and administration to the hanging of a thief on their own lands. They were also subject to the actions of government in its many forms. While it is useful to consider the activity of the earls in government separate from the impact of government upon them, there is no clear division between these two aspects. An earl that lost a legal dispute in the king's court was, as a major vassal of the king, a potential member of that same court. An earl that paid the danegeld due from his fief and vassals was both tax-collector and tax-payer. The obvious place to start an examination of the earls' role in government is the royal household, the central govern- ment institution of western kings since before Charlemagne. In Henry II's reign, several of the chief offices of the house- hold were held by earls. Two earls were recognised by Henry II as stewards in the years on either side of his succession to the throne. At some time between June 1153 and December 1154, Henry II recognised Robert earl of Leicester (d. 1168) as steward of England and Normandy (1).
