Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Home Secretary

In Henry Adding­ton's gov­ern­ment, he en­tered the cab­i­net in 1801 as Sec­re­tary of State for For­eign Af­fairs, in which ca­pac­ity he ne­go­ti­ated the Treaty of Amiens with France. Most of his time as For­eign sec­re­tary was spent deal­ing with the na­tions of France and the United States. He con­tin­ued to serve in the cab­i­net as Home Sec­re­tary in Pitt the Younger's sec­ond gov­ern­ment. While Pitt was se­ri­ously ill, Liv­er­pool was in charge of the cab­i­net and drew up the Ki...

Secretary of State for War and the Colonies

Lord Liv­er­pool (as Hawkes­bury had now be­come by the death of his fa­ther in De­cem­ber 1808) ac­cepted the po­si­tion of Sec­re­tary of State for War and the Colonies in Spencer Perce­val's gov­ern­ment in 1809. Liv­er­pool's first step on tak­ing up his new post was to elicit from Gen­eral Arthur Welles­ley (the fu­ture Duke of Welling­ton) a strong enough state­ment of his abil­ity to re­sist a French at­tack to per­suade the cab­i­net to com­mit them­selves to the main­te­nance of his...

When Perce­val was as­sas­si­nated in May 1812, George, the Prince Re­gent, suc­ces­sively tried to ap­point four men to suc­ceed him, but they were un­able to form min­istries; Liv­er­pool, the Prince Re­gent's fifth choice for the post, re­luc­tantly ac­cepted of­fice on 8 June 1812. The cab­i­net pro­posed Liv­er­pool as his suc­ces­sor with Lord Castlereagh as leader in the Com­mons. But after an ad­verse vote in the Lower House, they sub­se­quently gave both their res­ig­na­tions. The Prince Re­gent, how­ever, found it im­pos­si­ble to form a dif­fer­ent coali­tion and con­firmed Liv­er­pool as prime min­is­ter on 8 June. Liv­er­pool's gov­ern­ment con­tained some of the fu­ture great lead­ers of Britain, such as Lord Castlereagh, George Can­ning, the Duke of Welling­ton, Robert Peel, and William Huskisson. Liv­er­pool is con­sid­ered a skilled politi­cian, and held to­gether the lib­eral and re­ac­tionary wings of the Tory party, which his suc­ces­sors, Can­ning, Goderichand W...

Liv­er­pool's first wife, Louisa, died at 54. He soon mar­ried again, on 24 Sep­tem­ber 1822, to Lady Mary Chester, a long-time friend of Louisa. Liv­er­pool fi­nally re­tired on 9 April 1827 after suf­fer­ing a se­vere cere­bral he­m­or­rhage at his Fife House res­i­dence in White­hall two months earlier, and asked the King to seek a suc­ces­sor. He suf­fered an­other minor stroke in July, after which he lin­gered on at Coombe until a third at­tack on 4 De­cem­ber 1828 from which he died. Hav­ing died child­less, he was suc­ceeded as Earl of Liv­er­pool by his younger half-brother Charles. He was buried in Hawkes­bury parish church, Glouces­ter­shire, be­side his fa­ther and his first wife. His per­sonal es­tate was reg­is­tered at under £120,000.

His­to­rian R. W. Se­ton-Wat­sonsums up Liv­er­pool's strengths and weak­nesses: Liv­er­pool was the first British Prime Min­is­ter to reg­u­larly wear long trousers in­stead of knee breeches. He en­tered of­fice at the age of 42 years, and 1 day, mak­ing him younger than all of his suc­ces­sors. Liv­er­pool served as Prime Min­is­ter for a total of 14 years and 305 days, mak­ing him the longest-serv­ing Prime Min­is­ter of the 19th cen­tury. As of 2020, none of Liv­er­pool's suc­ces­sors have served longer. In Lon­don Liv­er­pool Street Sta­tion and Liv­er­pool Road, Is­ling­ton, are named after Lord Liv­er­pool. The Cana­dian town of Hawkes­bury, On­tario, the Hawkes­bury River and the Liv­er­pool Plains, New South Wales, Aus­tralia, Liv­er­pool, New South Wales, and the Liv­er­pool River in the North­ern Ter­ri­toryof Aus­tralia were also named after Lord Liverpool.

How could he enter the House of Commons in 1790? He was only twenty, or perhaps even nineteen, years old. 1. Although Members had to be 21 to take their seats, it was quite frequently the case that sons of noble houses were elected to the House of Commons before this time and only took their seats on turning 21. The minimum age was also not strictly enforced and there are cases on record of active MPs in their teens. David | Talk17:02, 12 November 2005 (UTC) It was not illegal to sit in the commons even under age, what was illegal was to vote underage. Jenkinson removed this temptation, and first sat a day after his 21st birthday and voted on the Revenue Resolutions of 8 June 1791.JMAlter

I have read or heard somewhere that his mother was partly of Indian lineage. 1. I've taken the liberty of removing the short reference to Lord Liverpool and the A2 syllabus. If anyone wants to say that there has been a renewal of interest in him in recent years, that's fine; but to say that this, that or other is or isn't in the A2 syllabus is a very odd thing to find in an encyclopedia entry. Jenkinson's mother, Amelia Watts, was the daughter of the former Governor of Fort William in Bengal, William Watts and a well known Eurasian woman, already twice widowed. It was not uncommon for the members of the East Indian Company to marry women from where they worked. Racism had not reared its ugly head in this area JMAlter 1. 1.1. Lord Liverpool was the son of Lord Liverpool and Amelia Watts, who was the daughter of William Watts (one of Robert Clive's bagmen) and [Frances Johnson], who was the daughter of a chap named Croke and one Isabella Beizor. So I think it's fair to say he wasn't m...

Which did he attend? The article says Oxford, the category Cambridge. Timrollpickering01:03, 19 December 2006 (UTC) 1. 1.1. Oxford, LordHarris18:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC) Jenkinson entered Christ Church Oxford in the April of 1787. He was awarded a degree of MA on 19 April 1790. JMAlter 1. 1.1. 1.1.1. He was at Oxford between April 1787 and April 1790, having taken a few months out to perfect his French in Paris in 1789: so he must have claimed "privilege of nobility" as the eldest son of a Lord. That meant he did not have to attend lectures or take examinations, and could proceed directly to the MA after two years' residence, without taking the BA on the way.

Ive just done a massive edit to the page and wikified it. Ive expanded the PM section from a couple of paragraphs to almost a dozen and have added subcategories for the important times of his ministry including the unrest at home, the corn laws, catholic emancip, end of the napolenic war and vienna congress. I have added some references, creating a new reference section and a new bibliography section. Also made edits to his early life and his late life, as well as a few other general edits.

It tells us everything about his time at university but his course --RaphaelBriand (talk) 23:30, 23 February 2008 (UTC) 1. He must have claimed "privilege of nobility" to acquire an MA as quickly as he did: so he was free to study as much or as little as he felt like.NRPanikker (talk) 19:39, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

It says he had a stroke and resigned as Prime Minister in 1827, and he died the following year. So, why does it state in the same paragraph that he died in office ?This is an error as he did not die in office- he died at home on 4th December 1828. JM AlterIt also says that the Hawkesbury River in New South Wales was named after him. This seems unlikely, as it was named in about 1789, which was before his political career.Lathamibird (talk) 06:18, 4 April 2016 (UTC) The river is probably named after Hawkesbury in Gloucestershire. JM Alter 1. I've just revised the early part of the article, part of which involved removing the words "in office" as clearly untrue. Harfarhs (talk) 21:19, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
