In the See also:House of See also:Commons he was a See also:sharp critic of the See also:American policy of See also:Lord See also:North. In See also:September 1779 he succeeded his See also:uncle as 2nd See also:Earl Temple; in 1782 was appointed lord-See also:lieutenant of Buckingham-See also:shire; and in See also:July of the same See also:year became a member of the privy See also:council and lord-lieutenant of See also:Ireland in the See also:ministry of the earl of Shelburne. On his See also:advice the Renunciation See also:Act of 1783 was passed, which supplemented the legislative See also:independence granted to Ireland in 1782. By royal See also:warrant he created the See also:- ORDER

He was appointed a secretary of See also:state when the younger See also:Pitt formed his ministry in See also:December 1783, but resigned two days later. In December 1784 he was created marquess of Buckingham " in the See also:county of Buckingham." In See also:November 1787 he was appointed lord-lieutenant of Ireland under Pitt, but his second See also:tenure of this 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 was hardly as successful as the first. He was denounced by See also:Grattan for extravagance; was censured by the Irish Houses of parliament for refusing to transmit to See also:England in address calling upon the See also:prince of See also:Wales to assume the regency; and he could only maintain his position by resorting to See also:bribery on a large See also:scale. Having become very unpopular he resigned his office in September 1789, and subsequently took very little See also:part in politics, although he spoke in favour of the See also:union with Ireland. He died at his See also:residence, See also:Stowe House,
Buckingham, on the 11th of February 1813, and was buried at See also:Wotton. In 1775 he had married See also:Mary See also:Elizabeth (d. 1812), daughter of See also:Robert, Earl Nugent.
His See also:elder son, See also:RICHARD GRENVILLE, ISt See also:duke of Buckingham and See also:Chandos (1976—1839), was one of the members of parliament for Buckinghamshire from 1797 to 1813, and, as Earl Temple, took an active part in politics. In February 1813 he succeeded his See also:father as marquess of Buckingham; and having married the only See also:child of the 3rd duke of Chandos, he was created duke of Buckingham and Chandos in 1822. He died in 1839. Owing to See also:financial embarrassments, the duke lived out of England for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

He was succeeded by his only child, RICHARD GRENVILLE, 2nd duke of Buckingham and Chandos (1797—1861). Educated at Eton and See also:Oriel See also:College, Oxford, he was known as Earl Temple and subsequently as marquess of Chandos. He was member of parliament for Buckinghamshire from 1818 to 1839, and was responsible for the " Chandos clause " in the Reform Bill of 1832. He was lord privy See also:seal from September 1841 to See also:January 1842, and partly owing to his opposition to the See also:repeal of the See also:corn See also:laws was known as the " Farmers' Friend." He found the estates heavily encumbered when he succeeded to the dukedom in 1839, and his own generous and luxurious tastes brought matters to a See also:climax. In 1847 his residences were seized by his creditors, and the duke left England. His See also:personal See also:property and many of his landed estates were sold, and returning to England he devoted himself to literature. He died in See also:London, on the 29th of July 1861. His wife, whom he married in 1819, was Mary (d. 1862), daughter of See also:John, 1st marquess of See also:Breadalbane, and she obtained a See also:divorce from him in 185o.
