		The Duke had joined the government as ministers began to assess how to contain "democratic treason," as members of the popular classes espoused ideas of popular sovereignty that were antithetical to George III's own sovereignty.[6] Wilkinson's discussion of Portland's dealings with domestic and Irish sedition are thus of considerable interest.

		The fifth Duke of Portland may have seemed peculiar to many - but he was certainly not mad.
		A man steeped in layers of deliberately manufactured mystery, the fifth Duke of Portland—unmarried and childless—started life as Lord John Bentick, became the Marquess of Tichfield upon the suspicious death of his elder brother, and passed on his title to a cousin when he perished in 1879.
		The actual narrative is, however, pure invention, filled not only with tales of the Duke, but also with the excitement and discoveries of the age in which he lived, and the mysteries that we are still exploring.

		Rather, she argued that William Bentinck-Scott, the Duke of Portland, had spent years pretending to be the furniture dealer and had made use of a tunnel between Welbeck Abbey and the Druce furniture shop in order to facilitate his deception.
		The problem with her argument was that there was a body in the Druce grave, which made it unlikely that the Duke of Portland had merely been pretending to be Druce and had faked his death in order to get on with his life.
		And perhaps an aging Duke of Portland made use of Thomas Druce and a reputation as a recluse to make it possible to defend England up until the death of his doppleganger in 1864.
