THOMAS CLIFFOIID, 1ST See also:BARON (1630-1673) , See also:English See also:lord treasurer, a member of the See also:ancient See also:family of Clifford, descended from See also:Walter de Clifford of Clifford See also:Castle in See also:Herefordshire, was the son of See also:Hugh Clifford of Ugbrook near See also:Exeter, and of See also:Mary, daughter of See also:Sir See also:George Chudleigh of See also:Ashton, See also:Devonshire. He was See also:born on the 1st of See also:August 1630, matriculated in 1647 at Exeter See also:College, See also:- OXFORD

Oxford, where he showed distinguished ability, supplicated for the B.A. degree in 165o, and entered the See also:Middle See also:Temple in 1648. He represented See also:Totnes in the See also:convention See also:parliament and in that of 1661; and he joined the See also:faction of See also:young men who spoke " confidently and often," and who sought to rise to See also:power by attacking See also:Clarendon. The See also:chancellor, according to See also:Burnet, had repulsed his advances on See also:account of his Romanism, and Clifford accordingly offered his services to See also:Arlington, whose steady supporter he now became.
On the 16th of See also:February 1663 Clifford obtained the reversion of a tellership in the See also:exchequer, and in 1664, on the outbreak of the Dutch See also:war, was appointed See also:commissioner for the care of the sick, wounded and prisoners, with a See also:salary of £1200. He was knighted, and was See also:present with See also:- JAMES

James at the victory off See also:Lowestoft over the Dutch on the 3rd of See also:June 1665, was rewarded with the See also:prize-See also:ship " See also:Patriarch See also:Isaac," and in August, under the See also:earl of See also:Sandwich, took a prominent See also:part in the unsuccessful See also:attempt to See also:capture the Dutch See also:East See also:India See also:fleet in See also:Bergen See also:harbour.

Henry See also:Coventry to the See also:north of See also:Europe. Subsequently he served again with the fleet, was present with See also:Albemarle at the indecisive fight on the 1st to the 4th of June 1666, and at the victory on the 25th of See also:July. In See also:October 1667 he was one of those selected by the See also:Commons to prepare papers concerning the See also:naval operations. He showed See also:great zeal and See also:energy in naval affairs, and he is described by See also:Pepys as " a very See also:fine See also:gentleman, and much set by at See also:court for his activity in going to See also:sea and stoutness everywhere and stirring up and down." He became the same See also:year controller of the See also:household and a privy councillor,
in x667 a commissioner for the See also:treasury, and in 1668 treasurer of the household. In the Commons he supported the court, opposing the See also:bill for frequent parliaments in 1668 and the Coventry See also:Act (see COVENTRY, SIR See also:JOHN) in 167o.
Clifford was an ardent See also:Roman See also:Catholic, a supporter of the royal See also:prerogative and of the See also:French See also:alliance. He regarded with favour the See also:plan of seeking French assistance in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order to force Romanism and See also:absolute See also:government upon the See also:country, and his See also:complete failure to understand the real See also:political position and the interests of the nation is reflected in the See also:advice he was said to have given to See also:Charles, to accept the See also:pension from See also:- LOUIS

king in breaking through the Triple Alliance and in effecting the understanding with See also:France. He was the only See also:minister besides Arlington entrusted with the See also:secret treaty of See also:Dover of 167o, See also:signing both this agreement and also the ostensible treaty imparted to all the members of the Cabal, and did his utmost to urge Charles to join France in the attack upon the Dutch, whom he detested as republicans and Protestants. In 1672, during the See also:absence of Arlington and Coventry abroad, Clifford acted as See also:principal secretary of See also:state, and was chiefly responsible for the " stop of the exchequer," and probably also for the attack upon the Dutch See also:Smyrna fleet. He was appointed this year a commissioner to inquire into the See also:settlement of See also:Ireland. On the 22nd of See also:April he was raised to the See also:peerage as Baron Clifford of Chudleigh, and on the 28th of See also:November, by the See also:duke of See also:York's See also:interest, he was made lord treasurer; his conduct to Arlington, whose claims to the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office he had pretended to See also:press, was, according to See also:Evelyn, the only act of " real ingratitude " in his career. Arlington, however, quickly discovered a means of securing Clifford's fall. The latter was strongly in favour of Charles's policy of See also:indulgence, and supported the See also:declaration of this year, urging the king to overcome the resistance of parliament by a See also:dissolution. Arlington advocated the contrary policy of concession, arid after Charles's withdrawal of the declaration gave his support to the Test Act of 1673. Clifford spoke with great vehemence against the measure, describing it as " monstrum horrendum ingens," but his speech only increased the See also:anti-Roman Catholic feeling in parliament and ensured the passing of the bill. In consequence Clifford, as a Roman Catholic, followed the duke of York into retirement. His resignation caused considerable astonishment, since he had never publicly professed his See also:religion, and in 1671 had even built a new See also:Protestant See also:chapel at his See also:home at Ugbrook. According to Evelyn, however, his conduct was governed by a promise previously given to James. He gave up the treasuryship and his seat in the privy See also:council in June. On the 3rd of July 1673 he received a See also:general See also:pardon from the king. In August he said a last farewell to Evelyn, and in less than a See also:month he died at Ugbrook. In Evelyn's See also:opinion the cause of See also:death was See also:suicide, but his suspicions do not appear to have received any contemporary support. Clifford was one of the worst advisers of Charles II., but a sincere and consistent one. Evelyn declares him" a valiant, uncorrupt gentleman, ambitious, not covetous, generous, passionate, a most See also:constant, sincere friend." He married See also:Elizabeth, daughter of See also:- WILLIAM
