Hanes gweinyddol / Braslun bywgraffyddol | Administrative history | Biographical sketch

Nodyn | Note Robert Clive, governor of Bengal, was the eldest son of Richard and Rebecca Clive (nee Maskell)of Styche, Shropshire. He was born on 29 September 1725. In 1743 he was appointed a writer with the East India Company at Madras. He proved to be a quarrelsome colleague and suffered from 'melancholy' which was to plague him for most of his life. During his early years in Madras he twice attempted suicide and fought a duel. The outbreak of hostilities between Britain and France in southern India enabled him to reveal hitherto unsuspected military talent. By the end of his first period in India he had proved himself a guerrilla commander of genius: he had also amassed a considerable fortune, having been appointed a commissary for the supply of provisions to the troops in 1749. During his first stay in India he married Margaret Maskeleyne, daughter of Edmund Maskeleyne of Purton in Wiltshire. After unsuccessfully standing for Parliament he was sent out again to India in 1755 as governor of Fort St. David with the reversion of the governorship of Madras. On his arrival in 1756 he almost immediately became involved with the affairs of Bengal which was ruled by the Mogul viceroys, and under whose protection the East India Company carried on its trade. The new nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-Daula, took Calcutta and Clive set out to relieve the city in October 1756, which he took in January 1757. Instead of returning to Madras he eliminated the French settlement of Chandernagore and installed Mir Jafar as nawab in place of the hostile Siraj-ud-Daula who was decisively defeated at the battle of Plessey in June 1757. His first governorship of Bengal lasted until February 1760 by which time Mir Jafar's authority was unchallenged in Bengal and Bihar. Clive had also became a very wealthy man. He had received £234,000, a Mogul title and an estate or jagir worth about £30,000 a year. On his return to Britain he was created Baron Clive of Plessey in 1762, knighted in 1764 and also entered parliament as MP for Shrewsbury in 1760, a seat he held until his death in 1774. He also purchased extensive estates mainly in Shropshire, including Montford near Shrewsbury, in 1761, Walcot, near Bishop's Castle, in 1763, and Oakly Park in 1771. Clive returned for his third and last stay in India in 1765 and became governor of Bengal for the second time. His services in Bengal were required because Mir Jafar had been ousted by Mir Kasim who in turn had been deposed in 1763. Shah Alam, the Mogul emperor, attacked again and the East India Company seemed to be on the verge of extinction. It was during this, his second governorship of Bengal, that his claim as a statesman rests. The Mogul emperor was pacified; Bengal was settled with a grant by the Mogul of the revenue administration or dewanee of Bengal to the East India Company which gave the company legal authority to collect the revenues of Bengal and Bihar; the East India Company was reformed and the instincts of its officers for plunder curtailed, if only for a while; and military discipline restored. Clive left India for the last time in February 1767. Soon after his return his enemies, returned nabobs and politicians, attacked him and tried to blame him as the instigator of corruption amongst the servants of the East India Company. He defended himself vigorously and successfully in parliament in 1772. However, the strain on his health proved too much. Already addicted to opium, he committed suicide at his house in London on 22 November 1774. He had several children. His eldest son and successor, Edward Clive, was created earl of Powis in 1804.

Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru = The National Library of Wales Tudalen | Page 4 GB 0210 ROBCLI Robert Clive Papers, Hanes Gwarchodol | Custodial history Clive's papers were originally held in their entirety at Powis Castle together with the records of the Powis estate, (presumably the papers were brought from Clive's various houses and estates to Powis Castle during the late eighteenth century). Part of his archive was loaned by his son Edward to Clive's biographer, Sir John Malcolm, who made extensive transcripts during his governorship of Bombay, 1827-1830. How much of Clive's papers Malcolm took with him is unclear, though a list of letters and papers taken by him from Walcot in 1825 is NLW, Powis Castle 12196. The papers loaned to Malcolm were returned sometime after the biography was completed in 1836 (by an anonymous author, Malcolm having died in 1833). Thereafter the transcripts became so inextricably confused with Clive's own papers that it was not until 1985 that the historian Huw Bowen realised that earlier researchers had used the transcripts in the mistaken belief that they were originals. Malcolm's transcripts were removed from Clive's papers by NLW in 1999 and are now listed as a separate archive. Most of Clive's incoming letters were transferred from Powis Castle to the British Library, whilst NLW acquired his copy outgoing letters, Indian financial papers and some estate and personal papers as part of a much larger archive of the Powis estate. Most of Clive's papers were separated from the Powis estate archive at NLW in 1954.

In the main the letters contain references to the East India Company's affairs in India and at home with regard to its revenues, the grant to the Company of the Diwani of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa, the trade in salt, betel nut and tobacco, Clive's civil and military reforms and his settlement with Shuja-ud-daula, the Nawab of Oudh. Clive also gives his frank views on the Company directorship (p. 40), individual directors e.g. Laurence Sulivan in whose defeat at the election of directors in 1765 he could not 'but rejoice exceedingly' (p. 16). and of Mr[william] Sumner, a member of his Select Committee in Calcutta as his proposed successor in Bengal (pp. 6-8). Other matters discussed include Clive's financial and domestic affairs including passing references to the refitting of the house at Berkeley Square and repairs to Walcot.

The register appears to relate to a series of 'Country Correspondence' letter books which, had they survived, would have immediately preceded the series described in CC2 and CC. It contains abstracts, copies and translations of the 538 letters exchanged between Clive and the Indian rulers from his arrival in Bengal in 1756 until his appointment as governor in 1758. The period of the register saw the recapture of Calcutta (Jan 1757), the capture of Chandernagore from the French (March 1757), the true and fictitious treaty with Mir Jafar (May 1757) and the battle of Plassey (June 1757).
