Although from the beginning of his public See also:life in 16or, when he first entered See also:parliament, Manchester had inclined to the popular See also:side in politics, he managed to retain to the end the favour of the king. He was a See also:judge of the See also:Star Chamber, and one of the most trusted councillors of Charles I. His See also:loyalty, ability and honesty were warmly praised by See also:Clarendon.

Buckingham, having died in 1625 after two years of See also:marriage, Mandeville married in 1626 See also:Anne, daughter of the 2nd earl of See also:Warwick. The See also:influence of his father-in-See also:law, who was afterwards See also:admiral on the side of the parliament, See also:drew Mandeville to the popular side in the questions in dispute with the See also:crown, and at the beginning of the See also:Long Parliament he was one of the recognized leaders of the popular party in the upper See also:House, his name being joined with those of the five members of the House of See also:Commons impeached by the king in 1642. At the outbreak of the See also:Civil See also:War, having succeeded his father in the earldom in November 1642, Manchester commanded a See also:regiment in the See also:army of the earl of See also:Essex, and in See also:August 1643 he was appointed See also:major-See also:general of the See also:parliamentary forces in the eastern counties, with See also:Cromwell as his second in command. Having become a member of the " See also:committee of both kingdoms " in 1644, he was in supreme command at See also:Marston See also:Moor (See also:July 1, 1644) ; but in the subsequent operations his lack of See also:energy brought him into disagreement with Cromwell, and in November 1644 he strongly expressed his disapproval of continuing the war (see CROMWELL, See also:OLIVER). Cromwell brought the shortcomings of Manchester before parliament in the autumn of 1644; and See also:early in the following year, anticipating the self-denying See also:ordinance, Manchester resigned his command. He took a leading See also:part in the frequent negotiations for an arrangement with Charles, was custodian with See also:Lenthall of the See also:great seal 1646–1648, and frequently presided in the House of Lords. He opposed the trial of the king, and retired from public life during the See also:Commonwealth; but after the Restoration, which he actively assisted, he was loaded with honours by Charles II. In 1667 he was made a general, and he died on the 5th of May 1671. Manchester was madea K.G. in 1661, and became F.R.S. in 1667. Men of such divergent sympathies as See also: Baxter, See also:Burnet and Clarendon agreed in describing Manchester as a lovable and virtuous See also:man, who loved See also:peace and moderation both in politics and See also:religion. He was five times married, leaving See also:children by two of his wives, and was succeeded in the title by his eldest son, See also:Robert, 3rd earl of Manchester (1634–1683).
