  Berkshire History: Biographies: Henry St. John (1678-1751), Viscount Bolingbroke
St. John soon became the invaluable supporter of Harley and the fast friend of the Duke of Marlborough, with the result that he was made Secretary-at-War when the moderate Tory party came into power in 1704.
When Harley was dismissed, as the Ministry tended to become more and more Whiggish, St. John affected to retire to the study of philosophy at his country home, the family seat of his wife, Frances, eldest daughter and co-heiress of Sir Henry Winchcombe, bart., at Bucklebury in Berkshire.
John chafed at his colleague's caution and was jealous of the popularity which accrued to him after Guiscard's attempt at assassination.
