He was styled Viscount Hinchingbrooke from 1672 until his accession to the earldom in 1688.

Sandwich was generally regarded by his contemporaries as insane: his wife so far as possible kept him "close confined" at Hinchingbrooke and entrusted the management of the family estates to their son, as soon as he was old enough to take charge. From 1704 at the latest the Queen came under intense pressure to dismiss him from his office of Master of the Horse; she followed her frequent policy of temporizing, writing that she thought that "he was not as ill as he was said to b ...

Birth and origins Edward was born in 1721, the son of James Hussey and his wife Catherine Parsons. His father's family was Old English, a cadet branch of the Husseys.

Edward Wortley Montagu (15 May 1713 – 29 April 1776) was an English author and traveller. He was the son of the diplomat and member of parliament Edward Wortley Montagu and the writer and traveller Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, whose talent and eccentricity he seems to have inherited.

On the return of his parents to England in 1718, he was placed at Westminster School, from which he ran away more than once. On the first occasion, in July 1726, he was traced to Oxford, and was with difficulty 'reduced to the humble condition of a school-boy.' He decamped again in August 1727 and was not recovered for some months. Two similar escapades are mentioned by his tutor, Forster, chaplain to the Duchess of Kingston, but without dates. The first ended in his discovery, after a year's absence, selling fish ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
