Topic: James Stanhope


  
  James Stanhope, 7th Earl Stanhope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Richard Stanhope, 13th Earl of Chesterfield and 7th Earl Stanhope (1880-1967) was a British politician in the late 1930s as The Earl Stanhope.
In 1952 he succeeded his kinsman the 12th Earl of Chesterfield as 13th Earl of Chesterfield and 13th Baron Stanhope, but never used the more senior Earldom of Chesterfield, and continued to be known as The Earl Stanhope.
As he had no close heirs, both Earldoms and the Barony of Stanhope became extinct upon his death, but the Viscountcy of Stanhope of Mahon and the Barony of Stanhope of Elvaston passed to his nearest heir, the 11th Earl of Harrington.

 James Stanhope, 1st Earl Stanhope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1701 Stanhope entered the House of Commons, but he continued his career as a soldier and was in Spain and Portugal during the earlier stages of the War of the Spanish Succession.
In 1717, consequent on changes in the ministry, Stanhope was made First Lord of the Treasury, but a year later he returned to his former office of secretary for the southern department.
His activity was now shown in the conclusion of the Quadruple Alliance between England, France, Austria and the United Provinces in 1718, and in obtaining peace for Sweden, when threatened by Russia and Denmark, while at home he promoted the bill to limit the membership of the House of Lords.

As a Whig, he led the opposition in Parliament to the Tory administration of 1710–14 and as a consequence was falsely convicted (1712) of corruption and spent some months in the Tower of London.
The accession of George I (1714) returned the Whigs to power, and Walpole served variously as paymaster of the forces, first lord of the treasury, and chancellor of the exchequer (1715) under his brother-in-law, Viscount Townshend, and James Stanhope (later 1st Earl Stanhope).
The dismissal of Townshend led to Walpole’s resignation (1717), and together they formed an opposition nominally headed by the prince of Wales (later George II).
