Educated at Eton, William Stanhope entered the army and served in Spain, during the War of the Spanish Succession, but soon he turned his attention to more peaceful pursuits, went on a mission to Madrid and represented his country at Turin.
Later in the same year he was appointed Secretary of State for the Northern Department under Sir Robert Walpole, replacing Lord Townshend, but, like George II, he was anxious to assist the emperor Charles VI in his [[War of the Polish Successionwar with France, while Walpole favored a policy of peace.
In 1744, owing to the influence of his political allies, the Pelhams, he returned to his former post of Secretary of State, but he soon lost the favor of the king, and this was the principal cause why he left office in October 1746.

Granville became Lord Landsdowne, Baron Biddeford, by a promotion justly remarked to be not invidious, because he was the heir of a family in which two peerages, that of the earl of Bathe and lord Granville of Potheridge, had lately become extinct.
Granville was a man illustrious by his birth, and therefore attracted notice; since he is by Pope styled the polite, he must be supposed elegant in his manners, and generally loved; he was in times of contest and turbulence steady to his party, and obtained that esteem which is always conferred upon firmness and consistency.
