  Henry William Paget, 1st marquess of Anglesey - LoveToKnow 1911
Five days later the prince regent created him marquess of Anglesey in recognition of his brilliant services, which were regarded universally as second only to those of the duke himself.
In 1818 the marquess was made a knight of the Garter, in 1819 he became full general, and at the coronation of George IV.
To the marquess of Anglesey Ireland is indebted for the board of education, the origination of which may perhaps be reckoned as the most memorable act of his viceroyalty.

The Anglesey Papers comprise an Irish estate archive, mainly relating to Co. Louth, 1611, 1639 and 1660-1858, and the archive of the 1st Marquess of Anglesey as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, 1838-1829 and 1830-1833.
The Anglesey estate in Ireland derived from the lordships of Newry and Mourne in Cos Down and Louth which were granted to Sir Nicholas Bagenal in 1552.
In this heady atmosphere, Anglesey became a convert to Catholic Emancipation a little sooner than the Duke of Wellington, or rather a little sooner than the Duke of Wellington wished this to be avowed as government policy; and in consequence Anglesey was peremptorily recalled at the beginning of 1829.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyll or Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, also spelt Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll and commonly known as Llanfair PG or Llanfairpwll, is a village and community on the island of Anglesey in Wales, situated on the Menai Strait next to Menai Bridge and across the strait from Bangor.

However, with the introduction of estates in the 16th century, much of the land was absorbed into the Earldom of Uxbridge, currently under the Marquess of Anglesey, and the population forced to work as tenants on enclosures.

One-Leg is a biography of Henry William Paget, First Marquess of Anglesey (1768-1854) who lost his leg at the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815 being struck by grape shot which shattered his knee.
