GEORGE WADE (1673-1748), British field marshal, was the son of Jerome Wade of Kilavally, Westmeath, and entered the British army in 1690.
Wade distinguished himself at the siege of Alcantara in 1706, in a rearguard action at Villa Nova in the same autumn (in which, according to Galway, his two battalions repulsed twenty-two allied squadrons), and at the disastrous battle of Almanza on the 25th of April 1707.
On the appointment of the duke of Cumberland as commander-in-chief of the forces, Wade retired.

 History of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elizabeth maintained relative government stability apart from the Revolt of the Northern Earls in 1569, she was effective in reducing the power of the old nobility and expanding the power of her government.
Elizabeth's government did much to consolidate the work begun under Thomas Cromwell in the reign of Henry VIII, that is, expanding the role of the government and in effecting common law and administration throughout England.
Some historians think that Thomas Cromwell affected a "Tudor Revolution" in government and it is certain that Parliament became a lot more important during his chancellorship.
