Louis XIV. for a See also:partition of the See also:Spanish See also:monarchy, and as William's representative, he signed the two partition See also:treaties. Portland had, however, become very jealous of the rising See also:influence of See also:Arnold van See also:Keppel, earl of See also:Albemarle, and, in 1699, he resigned all his offices in the royal See also:household. But he did not forfeit the esteem of the king, who continued to See also:trust and employ him. Portland had been loaded with gifts, and this, together with the See also:jealousy See also:felt for him as a foreigner, made him very unpopular in England. He received 135,000 acres of See also:land in See also:Ireland, and only the strong opposition of a See also:united See also:House of See also:Commons prevented him obtaining a large See also:gift of See also:crown lands in See also:North See also:Wales. For his See also:share in See also:drawing up the partition treaties he was impeached in 1701, but the See also:case against him was not proceeded with. He was occasionally employed on public business under See also:Anne until his See also:death at his See also:residence, See also:Bulstrode in See also:Buckinghamshire, on the 23rd of See also:November 1709. Portland's eldest son Henry (168o-1724) succeeded as 2nd earl. He was created See also:marquess of Titchfield and duke of Portland in 1716.
