Henry Cadogan, a See also:Dublin See also:barrister, and See also:grandson of See also:Major William Cadogan (16o1-1661), See also:governor of See also:Trim. The See also:family has been credited with a descent from Cadwgan,the old Welsh See also:prince. Cadogan began his military career as a See also:cornet of See also:horse under William III. at the See also:Boyne, and, with the See also:regiment now known as the 5th (Royal Irish) Lancers, made the See also:campaigns in the See also:Low Countries. In the course of these years he attracted the See also:notice of See also:Marlborough. In 1701 Cadogan was employed by him as a See also:staff officer in the complicated task of concentrating the See also:grand See also:army formed by contingents from
multitudinous states, and Marlborough soon made the See also:young officer his confidential staff officer and right-See also:hand See also:man. His services in the See also:campaign of 1701 were rewarded with the colonelcy of the famous " Cadogan's Horse " (now the 5th See also:Dragoon See also:Guards). As quartermaster-See also:general, it See also:fell to his See also:lot to organize the celebrated See also:march of the See also:allies to the See also:Danube, which, as well as the return march with its heavy convoys, he managed with consummate skill. At the Schellenberg he was wounded and his horse shot under him, and at See also:Blenheim he acted as Marlborough's See also:chief of staff. Soon afterwards he was promoted brigadier-general, and in 1705 he led " Cadogan's Horse " at the forcing of the See also:Brabant lines between Wange and Elissem, capturing four See also:standards. He was See also:present at See also:Ramillies, and immediately afterwards was sent to take See also:Antwerp, which he did without difficulty. Becoming major-general in 1706, he continued to perform the numerous duties of chief staff officer, quartermaster-general and See also:colonel of See also:cavalry, besides which he was throughout constantly employed in delicate See also:diplomatic See also:missions. In the course of the campaign of 1707, when leading a foraging expedition, he fell into the hands of the enemy but was soon exchanged. In 1708 he commanded the advanced guard of the army in the operations which culminated in the victory of Oudenarde, and in the same See also:year he was with See also:Webb at the See also:action of Wynendael. On the 1st of See also:January 1709 he was made See also:lieutenant-general. At the See also:siege of See also:Menin in this year occurred an incident which well illustrates his qualifications as a staff officer and diplomatist. Marlborough, See also:riding with his staff See also:close to the See also:French, suddenly dropped his See also:glove and told Cadogan to pick it up. This seemingly insolent command was carried out at once, and when Marlborough on the return to See also:camp explained that he wished a See also:battery to be erected on the spot, Cadogan informed him that he had already given orders to that effect. He was present at See also:Malplaquet, and after the See also:battle was sent off to See also:form the siege of See also:Mons, at which he was dangerously wounded. At the end of the year he received the See also:appointment of lieutenant of the See also:Tower, but he continued with the army in See also:Flanders to the end of the See also:war. His See also:loyalty to the fallen Marlborough cost him, in 1712, his See also:rank, positions and emoluments under the See also:crown. See also:George I. on his See also:accession, however, reinstated Cadogan, and, amongst other appointments, made him lieutenant of the See also:ordnance. In 1715, as British plenipotentiary, he signed the third Barrier Treaty between See also:Great See also:Britain, See also:- HOLLAND

At first as Argyle's subordinate (see See also:Coxe, See also:Memoirs of Marlborough, cap. cxiv.), and later as See also:commander-in-chief, General Cadogan by his See also:firm, energetic and skilful handling of his task restored quiet and See also:- ORDER

order in See also:Scotland. Up to the See also:death of Marlborough he was continually employed in diplomatic posts of See also:special See also:trust, and in 17 r8 he was made Earl Cadogan, See also:Viscount Caversham and See also:Baron Cadogan of Oakley. In 1722 he succeeded his old chief as See also:head of the army and See also:master-general of the ordnance, becoming at the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time colonel of the 1st or See also:Grenadier Guards. He sat in five successive parliaments as member for See also:Woodstock. He died at See also:Kensington in 1726, leaving two daughters, one of whom married the second See also:duke of See also:Richmond and the other the second son of William earl of See also:Portland.
Readers of Esmond will have formed a very unfavourable estimate of Cadogan, and it should be remembered that See also:Thackeray's See also:hero was the friend and supporter of the opposition and General Webb. As a soldier, Cadogan was one of the best staff See also:officers in the See also:annals of the British army, and in command of detachments, and also as -a commander-in-chief, he showed himself to be an able, careful and withal dashing See also:leader.
He was succeeded, by special See also:remainder, in the See also:barony by his See also:brother, General See also:Charles Cadogan (1691-1776), who married the daughter of See also:Sir Hans See also:Sloane, thus beginning the association of the family with See also:Chelsea, and died in 1776, being succeeded in turn by his son Charles Sloane (1728-1807), who in the year 'Soo was created Viscount Chelsea and Earl Cadogan. His descendant George Henry, 5th Earl Cadogan (b. 1840), was See also:lord privy See also:seal from 1886 to 1892, and lord-lieutenant of See also:Ireland from 1895 to 1902.
