  William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Most Noble William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire (December 14, 1748 – July 29, 1811), was the eldest son of the 4th Duke of Devonshire by his wife the heiress Lady Charlotte Boyle, suo jure Baroness Clifford of Lanesborough, who brought in considerable money and estates to the Cavendish family.
However, the dukedom and estates passed eventually to a grandson of a younger brother of the 5th Duke; the 7th Duke had however married a daughter of the 6th Earl of Carlisle, and thus a granddaughter of the 5th Duke and niece of the 6th Duke.
The fifth Duke was closely involved with the nearby spa town of Buxton.

Born in Paris, he became Duke of Devonshire on the death of his father in 1811, at the age of 21.

 William Cavendish, 4th Duke of Devonshire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After inheriting his father's peerage titles (chiefly the Dukedom of Devonshire), Devonshire was given the Garter and appointed First Lord of the Treasury (most historians consider him Prime Minister during this service) in November 1756, and he served as First Lord until May 1757 in an administration effectively run by William Pitt the Elder.
