  Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Having succeeded to the peerage in 1702, the earl was one of the commissioners for the union between England and Scotland, and in 1705 he was sent to Vienna as envoy extraordinary.
Sunderland continued to take part in public life, and was active in communicating with the court of Hanover about the steps to be taken in view of the approaching death of the queen.
Sunderland was especially interested in the proposed peerage bill, a measure designed to limit the number of members of the House of Lords, but this was defeated owing partly to the opposition of Sir Robert Walpole.

 Robert Spencer, 2nd Earl of Sunderland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sunderland fled to Utrecht, the Netherlands, and wrote to Sir John Churchill, a prominent English statesman, asking him to "make things easy for a man in my condition." At first, King William III excepted Lord Sunderland from the 1690 act of indemnity, but by 1691, he was allowed to return to the country.
Sunderland became Lord Chamberlain of the Household in April 1697, and was a Lord Justice for a short period, but "the general suspicion with which he was regarded terrified him", and he eventually retired from public life in December of that year.
Sunderland died in 1702 at Althorp, where he led a secluded life, and his only surviving son was Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland.
