Succeeding his See also:father as " See also:general of the See also:Huguenots," he refused Louis's offer, at the revocation of the See also:Edict of See also:Nantes, to retain him in that 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 ")

But in 1695 the duke changed sides, the See also:Italian See also:peninsula was neutralized, and Galway's force was withdrawn to the See also:Netherlands. From 1697 to 1701, a See also:critical See also:period of Irish See also:history, the Earl of Galway (he was advanced to that rank in 1697) was practically in See also:control of Irish affairs as lord See also:justice of Ireland. After some years spent in retirement, he was appointed in 1704 to command the allied forces in See also:Portugal, a See also:post which he sustained with See also:honour and success until the battle of Almanza in 1707, in which Galway, in spite of care and skill on his own See also:part, wasdecisively defeated. But he scraped together a fresh See also:army, and, although infirm, was reappointed to his command by the See also:home See also:government. After taking part in one more See also:campaign, and distinguishing himself by his See also:personal bravery in See also:action, he retired from active See also:life. His last service was rendered in 1715, when he was sent as one of the lords justices to Ireland during the Jacobite insurrection. As most of his See also:property in Ireland had been restored to its former owners, and all his French estates had See also:long before been forfeited, See also:parliament voted him See also:pensions amounting to £1500 a year. He died unmarried on the 3rd of See also:September 1720.
