In 1716 his See also:father sent him to See also:Paris, and thence to See also:Hanover to pay his See also:court to See also:George I. He was a frequent visitor at the court of the See also:prince and princess of See also:Wales at See also:Richmond, and in 1720 he married See also:Mary Lepell, who was one of the princess's ladies-in-waiting, and a See also:great court beauty. In 1723. he received the See also:courtesy See also:title of See also:Lord Hervey on the See also:death of his See also:half-See also:brother Carr, and in 1725 he was elected M.P. for See also:Bury St See also:Edmunds.

time on very friendly terms with See also:Frederick, prince of Wales, but from 1731 he quarrelled with him, apparently because they were rivals in the favour of See also:Anne See also:Vane. These See also:differences probably See also:account for the scathing picture he draws of the prince's callous conduct. Hervey had been hesitating between See also:- WILLIAM

William Pulteney (afterwards earl of See also:Bath) and See also:Walpole, but in 1730 he definitely took sides with Walpole, of whom he was thenceforward a faithful adherent. He was assumed by Pulteney to be the author of See also:Sedition and See also:Defamation display'd with a See also:Dedication to the patrons of The Craftsman (1731). Pulteney, who, up to this time, had been a See also:firm friend of Hervey, replied with A Proper Reply to a See also:late Scurrilous See also:Libel, and the See also:quarrel resulted in a See also:duel from which Hervey narrowly escaped with his See also:life. Hervey is said to have denied the authorship of both the pamphlet and its dedication, but a See also:note on the MS. at Ickworth, apparently in his own See also:hand, states that he wrote the latter. He was able to render valuable service to Walpole from his See also:influence over the See also:queen. Through him the See also:minister governed Queen See also:Caroline and indirectly George II. Hervey was See also:vice-See also:- CHAMBERLAIN (0. Fr. chamberlain, chamberlenc, Mod. Fr. chambellan, from O. H. Ger. Chamarling, Chamarlinc, whence also the Med.

chamberlain in the royal See also:household and a member of the privy See also:council. In 1733 he was called to the See also:House of Lords by See also:writ in virtue of his father's See also:barony. In spite of repeated See also:requests he received no further preferment until after 1740, when he became lord privy See also:seal. After the fall of See also:Sir See also:Robert Walpole he was dismissed (See also:July 1742) from his 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. An excellent See also:political pamphlet, See also:Miscellaneous Thoughts on the See also:present Posture of See also:Foreign and Domestic Affairs, shows that he still retained his See also:mental vigour, but he was liable to See also:epilepsy, and his weak See also:appearance and rigid See also:diet were a See also:constant source of ridicule to his enemies. He died on the 5th of See also:August 1743. He predeceased his father, but three of his sons became successively earls of Bristol.
Hervey wrote detailed and brutally See also:frank See also:memoirs of the court of George II. from 1727 to 1737. He gave a most unflattering account of the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)
- KING, CHARLES WILLIAM (1818-1888)
- KING, CLARENCE (1842–1901)
- KING, EDWARD (1612–1637)
- KING, EDWARD (1829–1910)
- KING, HENRY (1591-1669)
- KING, RUFUS (1755–1827)
- KING, THOMAS (1730–1805)

- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
king, and of Frederick, prince of Wales, and their See also:family squabbles. For the queen and her daughter, Princess Caroline, he had a genuine respect and See also:attachment, and the princess's See also:affection for him was commonly said to be the See also:reason for the See also:close retirement in which she lived after his death. The MS. of Hervey's memoirs was preserved by the family, but his son, See also:Augustus John, 3rd earl of Bristol, See also:left strict injunctions that they should not be published until after the death of George III. In 1848 they were published under the editorship of J. W. See also:Croker, but the MS. had been subjected to a certain amount of See also:mutilation before it came into his hands. Croker also softened in some cases the plainspokenness of the See also:original. Hervey's See also:bitter account of court life and intrigues resembles in many points the memoirs of See also:Horace Walpole, and the two books corroborate one another in many statements that might otherwise have been received with suspicion.
Until the publication of the Memoirs Hervey was chiefly known as the See also:object of See also:savage See also:satire on the See also:part of See also:Pope, in whose See also:works he figured as Lord Fanny, Sporus, See also:Adonis and See also:Narcissus. The quarrel is generally put down to Pope's See also:jealousy of Hervey's friendship with See also:Lady Mary Wortley See also:Montagu. In the first of the Imitations of Horace, addressed to William See also:Fortescue, "Lord Fanny " and " See also:Sappho " were generally identified with Hervey and Lady Mary, although Pope denied the See also:personal intention. Hervey had already been attacked in the Dunciad and the See also:Bathos, and he now retaliated. There is no doubt that he had a See also:share in the Verses to the Imitator of Horace (1732) and it is possible that he was the See also:sole author. In the See also:Letter from a See also:noble-See also:man at See also:Hampton Court to a See also:Doctor of Divinity (1733), he scoffed at Pope's deformity and humble See also:birth. Pope's reply was a Letter to a Noble Lord, dated See also:November 1733, and the portrait of Sporus in the See also:Epistle to Dr See also:Arbuthnot (1735), which forms the See also:prologue to
the satires. Many of the insinuations and insults contained in it are borrowed from Pulteney's libel. The malicious See also:caricature of Sporus does Hervey great injustice, and he is not much better treated by Horace Walpole, who in See also:reporting his death in a letter (14th of August '743) to Horace See also:Mann, said he had outlived his last See also:inch of See also:character. Nevertheless his writings prove him to have been a man of real ability, condemned by Walpole's See also:tactics and distrust of able men to spend his life in court intrigue, the weapons of which, it must be owned, he used with the utmost adroitness. His wife Lady Hervey [Molly Lepell] (1700-1768), of whom an account is to be found in Lady Louisa See also:Stuart's Anecdotes, was a warm See also:partisan of the Stuarts. She retained her wit and See also:charm throughout her life, and has the distinction of being the recipient of English verses by See also:Voltaire.
