WILLIAM, See also:BARON , and afterwards See also:duke of (1680-1737), See also:political adventurer and See also:Spanish See also:minister; was a native of See also:Groningen in the See also:Netherlands, According to ,a See also:story which he himself set going during his adventures in See also:Spain, his See also:family was of Spanish origin. But there does not appear to be any See also:foundation for this assertion. The name was not uncommon in Groningen, and was See also:borne by several persons of some See also:note in the 16th and 17th centuries, one of whom was a follower of William the Silent.. They were See also:people. of some position, possessing "lordships " at Jansinia, Poelgast, and other places, and some at least of them were See also:Roman Catholics.

order to obtain his See also:election as delegate to the states-See also:general from Groningen. In 1715 he was sent by the Dutch See also:government as See also:ambassador to See also:Madrid. See also:Saint-See also:Simon says that his See also:character for probity was even then considered doubtful.

Philip V. offered a career to adventurers. Ripperda—whose name is commonly spelt Riperda by the Spaniards—devoted himself to. the Spanish government, and professed himself a Roman Catholic. He first attached himself to Alberoni, and after the fall of that minister he became the See also:agent of See also:Elizabeth See also:Farnese, the restless and intriguing wife of Philip V. Though perfectly unscrupulous in See also:money matters, and of a singularly vain and blustering disposition, he did under-stand commercial questions, and he has the merit of having pointed out that the poverty of Spain was mainly due to the neglect of its See also:agriculture. But his fortune was not due to any service of a useful See also:kind he rendered his masters. He See also:rose by undertaking to aid the See also:queen, whose See also:influence over her See also:husband was boundless, in her schemes for securing the See also:succession to See also:Parma, See also:Plasencia and See also:Tuscany for her sons. Ripperda was sent as See also:special See also:envoy to See also:Vienna in 1725. He behaved with ridiculous violence, but the See also:Austrian government, which was under the influence of its own fixed See also:idea, treated him seriously. The result of ten months of very See also:strange See also:diplomacy was a treaty by which the See also:emperor promised very little, but
and shares to be sold at $25; (2) See also:land to be limited to 40 acres for each member. of the See also:corporation; (3) 'a unanimous See also:vote of the managers necessary for See also:admission; (4) ap See also:annual See also:settlement of profits on the basis of one-See also:quarter See also:credit to See also:dividend on stock, and three-quarters credit to labour; (5) See also:free public See also:schools, See also:capital paying three-quarters and labour one-quarter of cost; and (6) See also:complete religious See also:toleration and no,,: involuntary See also:taxation for See also:- CHURCH

Spain was See also:bound to pay heavy subsidies, which its exhausted See also:treasury was quite unable to afford. The emperor hoped to obtain money. Elizabeth Farnese hoped to secure the See also:Italian duchies for her sons, and some vague stipulations were made that See also:Charles VI. should give his aid for the recovery by Spain of See also:Gibraltar and See also:Minorca. When Ripperda returned to Madrid at the See also:close of 1725 he asserted that the emperor expected him to be made See also:prime minister. The Spanish sovereigns, who were overawed by this quite unfounded assertion, allowed him to grasp the most important posts under the See also:crown. He excited the violent hostility of the Spaniards, and entered into a complication of intrigues with the See also:French and See also:English governments. His career was See also:short. In 1726 the Austrian envoy, who had vainly pressed for the See also:payment of the promised subsidies, came to an explanation with the Spanish sovereigns. It was discovered that Ripperda had not only made promises that he was not authorized to make, but had misappropriated large sums of money. The sovereigns who had made him duke and See also:grandee shrank from covering themselves with ridicule by revealing the way in which they had been deceived. Ripperda was dismissed with the promise of a See also:pension. Being in terror of the hatred of the Spaniards, he took See also:refuge in the English See also:embassy. To secure the favour of the English envoy, See also:Colonel William See also:Stanhope, afterwards See also:Lord See also:Harrington, he betrayed the secrets of his government. Stanhope could not protect him, and he was sent as a prisoner to the See also:castle of See also:Segovia. In 1728 he escaped, probably with the connivance of the government, and made his way to See also:- HOLLAND

Holland. His last years are obscure. It is said that he reverted to Protestantism, and then went to See also:Morocco, where he became a See also:Mahommedan and commanded the See also:Moors in an unsuccessful attack on See also:Ceuta. But this story is founded on his so-called See also:Memoirs, which are in fact a See also:Grub-See also:street See also:tale of See also:adventure published at See also:Amsterdam in 1740. All that is really known is that he did go to Morocco, and that he died at See also:Tetuan in 1737.
