JAMES See also:BRYDGES , 1st See also:duke of See also:Chandos (1673-1744), son and See also:heir of the last-named, had been member of See also:parliament for See also:Hereford from 1698 to 1714, and, three days after his See also:father's See also:death, was created See also:Viscount See also:Wilton and See also:earl of See also:Carnarvon. For eight years, from 1705 to 1713, during the See also:War of the See also:Spanish
See also:Succession, he was paymaster-See also:general of the forces abroad, and in this capacity he amassed See also:great See also:wealth. In 1719 he was created See also:marquess of Carnarvon and duke of Chandos. The duke is chiefly remembered on See also:account of his connexion with See also:Handel and with See also:Pope. He built a magnificent See also:house at Canons near Edgware in See also:Middlesex, and is said to have contemplated the construction of a private road between this See also:place and his unfinished house in See also:Cavendish Square, See also:London. For over two years Handel, employed by Chandos, lived at Canons, where he composed his See also:oratorio See also:Esther. Pope, who in his Moral Essays (See also:Epistle to the Earl of See also:Burlington) doubtless described Canons under the See also:guise of " See also:Timon's See also:Villa," referred to the duke in the See also:line, "Thus gracious Chandos is belov'd at sight"; but See also:Swift, less complimentary, called him " a great complier with every See also:court." The poet was caricatured by See also:Hogarth for his supposed servility to the duke. Chandos, who was See also:lord-See also:lieutenant of the counties of Hereford and See also:Radnor, and See also:chancellor of the university of St See also:Andrews, became involved in See also:financial difficulties, and after his death on the 9th of See also:August 1744 Canons was pulled down. He was succeeded by his son See also:- HENRY
