In 1672 he was married to the daughter and heiress of the earl of Arlington and created earl of Euston; in 1675 he was created duke of Grafton.
He first became known in politics as an opponent of Lord Bute; in 1765 he was secretary of state under the marquis of Rockingham; but he retired next year, and Pitt (becoming earl of Chatham) formed a ministry in which Grafton was first lord of the treasury (1766) but only nominally prime minister.
Chathams illness at the end of 1767 resulted in Grafton becoming the effective leader, but political differences and the attacks of Junius led to his resignation in January 1770.

 The Dukes of Grafton
Euston was remodeled in the Georgian Style in 1750 by Matthew Brettingham, who moved an entire village from the site because it "blocked the view." This view is from 1860, complete with Georgian-style quoining.
His uncle, George, the Earl of Euston and heir to the ducal title, and an acknowledged scapegrace, also died young, at the age of 32, leaving Augustus Henry heir to the title and fortune.
Later, while still married to the Duke, the Duchess became pregnant by Thomas Butler, Earl of Ossory, precipitating a divorce from Grafton and almost immediate subsequent marriage to the Earl, which by most accounts was a much happier one.

Those rumoured to be involved at Cleveland Street certainly included the heir apparent to a Duke (the Earl of Euston) and the younger son of a Duke (Lord Arthur Somerset).
Finally, Lord Arthur Somerset had finally fled the country on 18 October, and the Earl of Euston was alleged to have fled to Peru, though he later successfully sued for libel in respect of this and other allegations.
