Having been lord keeper of the privy seal for a few months, he became lord high chancellor in 1544, in which capacity he became notorious by his proceedings against Anne See also:Askew. He was one of the executors of Henry's will, and in accordance with the dead king's wishes he was created earl of Southampton in See also:February 1 547. However, he had committed an offence in appointing four persons to relieve him of his duties as lord chancellor and See also:advantage was taken of this to deprive him of his 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 ")
office in See also:March, when he also ceased to be a member of the privy See also:council.

His successor was his son, Henry (1545—1581), the 2nd earl, one of the See also:Roman See also:Catholic nobles who conspired for the See also:release of See also:Mary See also:Queen of Scots. He died on the 4th of October 1581 and was succeeded by his son, Henry, the 3rd earl (see below).

The 3rd earl was succeeded by his son Thomas (1607—1667) as 4th earl. When the dispute began between the king and the See also:parliament he took the See also:side of the latter, but soon the violence of its leaders drove him into the arms of See also:Charles, one of whose most loyal advisers he remained thenceforward. He was however very anxious for See also:peace, and treated on behalf of the king with the representatives of the parliament in 1643, and again at See also:Uxbridge in 1645. Having paid over £6000 to the state, Southampton was allowed to live unmolested in England during the See also:Common-See also:wealth See also:period, and on the restoration of Charles II. he was made lord high treasurer. As treasurer he was remarkable for his freedom from any taint of corruption and for his efforts in the interests of See also:economy and See also:financial See also:- ORDER

Much of his See also:property passed to his eldest daughter See also:Elizabeth (d. 1693), wife of See also:Edward See also:Noel, 1st earl of See also:Gainsborough (1641—1689). The name of the earl is perpetuated in See also:London in Southampton See also:Row and Southampton See also:Street, See also:Holborn, where his London See also:residence stood.

In 167o the See also:mistress of Charles II., See also:Barbara, countess of See also:Castlemaine, was created duchess of See also:Cleveland and countess of Southampton. Her son, Charles See also:Fitzroy (1662—1730), was created See also:duke of Southampton in 1675, this title becoming extinct when his son William died in May 1774.
The See also:barony of Southampton was created in 1780 in favour of Charles Fitzroy (1737—1797), a See also:grandson of Charles Fitzroy, 2nd duke of See also:Grafton, he being thus, like the holders of the dukedorn of Southampton, descended from Charles II. and the duchess of Cleveland. The title is still held by his descendants.
