  Charles Montagu, 1st Earl of Halifax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Montagu, 1st Earl of Halifax, KG, PC, FRS (16 April 1661–19 May 1715) was a British poet and statesman.
In 1685 Montagu's verses on the death of King Charles II of England made such an impression on the Earl of Dorset that he was invited to town, and introduced to other entertainments.
At the Queen's death he was again appointed one of the regents and at the accession of George I, was made Earl of Halifax, Knight of the Garter, and First Lord of the Treasury, with a grant to his nephew of the reversion of the Auditorship of the Exchequer.

In collaboration with Montagu he wrote in 1687 the City Mouse and Country Mouse, in ridicule of John Dryden's The Hind and the Panther.
Montagu was promoted at once, and Prior three years later became secretary to the embassy at the Hague.
He had certainly been in William's confidence with regard to the Partition Treaty; but when Somers, Orford and Halifax were impeached for their share in it he voted on the Tory side, and immediately on Anne's accession he definitely allied himself with Harley and St John.
