See also:CODRINGTON, See also:SIR See also:EDWARD (1770-1851) , See also:British See also:admiral, belonged to a See also:family See also:long settled at Dodington in See also:Gloucester-See also:shire. He was the youngest of three See also:brothers, who were See also:left orphans at an See also:early See also:age, and were educated by an See also:uncle, Mr Bethell. Edward Codrington was sent for a See also:short See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time to See also:Harrow, and entered the See also:navy in See also:July 1783. He served on the See also:American station, in the Mediterranean and at See also:home, till he was promoted See also:lieutenant on the 28th of May 1783. See also:Lord See also:Howe selected him to be See also:signal lieutenant on the See also:flagship of the Channel See also:fleet at the beginning of the revolutionary See also:war with See also:France. In that capacity he served in the " See also:Queen See also:Charlotte " (See also:loo) during theoperations which culminated in the See also:battle of the 1st of See also:June 1744. The notes he wrote on See also:Barrow's See also:account of the battle in his See also:Life of Howe, and the reminiscences he dictated to his daughter, which are to be found in her memoir of him, are of See also:great value for the See also:history of the See also:action. On the 7th of See also:October 1794 he was promoted See also:commander, and on the 6th of See also:April 1795 attained the See also:rank of See also:post-See also:captain and the command of the " Babet " (22). He continued to serve in the Channel, and was See also:present at the action off L'Orient on the 23rd of June 1795. Codrington wrote notes on this encounter also, which are to be found in the memoir. They are able and valuable, but, like all his See also:correspondence throughout his life, show that he was of a somewhat censorious disposition, was See also:apt to take the worst view of the conduct of others, and was liable to be querulous. He next commanded the " Druid " (32) in the Channel and on the See also:coast of See also:Portugal, till she was paid off in 1797. Codrington now remained on See also:shore and on See also:half-pay for some years. In See also:December 1802 he married Jane, daughter of See also:Jasper See also:- HALL

On the renewal of the war after the See also:breach of the See also:peace of See also:Amiens he was appointed (May 1805) to the command of the " See also:Orion " (74) and was attached to the fleet on the coast of See also:Spain, then blockading See also:Villeneuve in See also:Cadiz. The " Orion " took a conspicuous See also:part in the battle of See also:Trafalgar. Codrington's correspondence contains much illuminative See also:evidence as to the preliminaries and the events of the victory. From 1805 till 1813 he continued to serve first in the " Orion " and then (1808) in the " See also:Blake " (74) in See also:European See also:waters. He was present on the Walcheren expedition, and was very actively employed on the Mediterranean coast of Spain in co-operating with the Spaniards against the See also:French. In 1814 he was promoted See also:rear-admiral, at which time he was serving on the coast of See also:North See also:America as captain of the fleet to Sir See also:Alexander Cochrane during the operations against See also:Washington, See also:Baltimore and New See also:- ORLEANS

Orleans. In 1815 he was made K.C.B., and was promoted See also:vice-admiral on the loth of July 1821. In December 1826 he was appointed to the Mediterranean command, and sailed on the 1st of See also:February 1827. From that date until his recall on the 21st of June 1828 he was engaged in the arduous duties imposed on him by the See also:Greek War of See also:Independence, which had led to anarchy and much piracy in the See also:Levant. On the loth of October 1827 he destroyed the See also:Turkish and See also:Egyptian See also:naval forces at See also:Navarino (q.v.), while in command of a combined British, French and See also:Russian fleet. As the battle had been unforeseen in See also:England, and its result was unwelcome to the See also:ministry of the See also:day, Codrington was entangled in a correspondence to prove that he had not gone beyond his instructions, and he was recalled by a despatch, dated the 4th of June.
After the battle Codrington went to See also:Malta to refit his See also:ships. He remained there till May 1828, when he sailed to join his French and Russian colleagues on the coast of the Morea. They endeavoured to enforce the evacuation of the See also:peninsula by See also:Ibrahim peacefully. The See also:Pasha made See also:diplomatic difficulties, and on the 25th of July the three admirals agreed that Codrington should go to See also:Alexandria to obtain Ibrahim's recall by his See also:father Mehemet See also:Ali. Codrington had heard on the 22nd of June of his own supersession, but, as his successor had not arrived, he carried out the arrangement made on the 25th of July, and his presence at Alexandria led to the treaty of the 6th of See also:August 1828, by which the evacuation of the Morea was settled. His services were recognized by the See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O. Fr. greanter for creanter, popular Lat. creantare, for credentare, to entrust, Lat. credere, to believe, trust)

After his return home he was occupied for a time in defending himself, and then in leisure abroad. He commanded a training See also:squadron in the Channel in 1831 and became admiral on the loth of See also:January 1837. From See also:November 1839 to December 1842 he was commander-in-See also:chief at See also:Portsmouth. He died on the 28th of April 1851.
