WILLIAM See also:CAVENDISH , 1st See also:duke of See also:Devonshire (1640-1707), See also:English statesman, eldest son of the See also:earl of Devonshire last mentioned, was See also:born on the 25th of See also:January 164o. After completing his See also:education he made the tour of See also:Europe according to the See also:custom of See also:young men of his See also:rank, being accompanied on his travels by Dr See also:Killigrew. On his return he obtained, in 1661, a seat in See also:parliament for See also:Derbyshire, and soon became conspicuous as one of the most determined and daring opponents of the See also:general policy of the See also:court. In 1678 he was one of the See also:committee appointed to draw up articles of See also:impeachment against the See also:lord treasurer See also:Danby. In 1679 he was re-elected for See also:Derby, and made a privy councillor by See also:Charles II.; but he soon withdrew from the See also:board with his friend Lord See also:- RUSSELL (FAMILY)

James II., he moved in the House of See also:Commons that a bill might be brought in for the association of all his See also:majesty's See also:Protestant subjects. He also openly denounced the king's counsellors, and voted for an address to remove them. He appeared in See also:defence of Lord Russell at his trial, at a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time when it was scarcely more criminal to be an See also:accomplice than a See also:witness. After the condemnation he gave the utmost possible See also:- PROOF (in M. Eng. preove, proeve, preve, &°c., from O. Fr . prueve, proeve, &c., mod. preuve, Late. Lat. proba, probate, to prove, to test the goodness of anything, probus, good)
proof of his See also:attachment by offering to See also:exchange clothes with Lord Russell in the See also:prison, remain in his See also:place, and so allow him to effect his See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape. In Novembr 1684 he succeeded to the earldom on the See also:death of his See also:father. He opposed arbitrary See also:government under
James II. with the same consistency and high spirit as during the previous reign. He was withdrawn from public See also:life for a time, however, in consequence of a hasty and imprudent See also:act of which his enemies knew how to avail themselves. Fancying that he had received an insulting look in the presence chamber from See also:Colonel Colepepper, a swaggerer whose attendance at court the king encouraged, he immediately avenged the affront by challenging the colonel, and, on the See also:challenge being refused, striking him with his See also:cane. This offence was punished by a See also:fine of £30,000, which was an enormous sum even to one of the earl's princely See also:fortune. Not being able to pay he was imprisoned in the king's bench, from which he was released only on See also:signing a See also:bond for the whole amount. This was afterwards cancelled by King William. After his See also:discharge the earl went for a time to See also:Chatsworth, where he occupied himself with the erection of a new See also:mansion, designed by William Talman, with decorations by Verrio, See also:Thornhill and Grinling See also:Gibbons. The Revolution again brought him into prominence. He was one of the seven who signed the See also:original See also:paper inviting the See also:prince of See also:Orange from See also:- HOLLAND

Holland, and was the first nobleman who appeared in arms to receive him at his landing. He received the See also:- ORDER

order of the Garter on the occasion of the See also:coronation, and was made lord high steward of the new court. In 1690 he accompanied King William on his visit to Holland. He was created See also:marquis of Hartington and duke of Devonshire in 1694 by William and See also:Mary, on the same See also:day on which the See also:head of the house of Russell was created duke of See also:Bedford. Thus, to quote See also:Macaulay, " the two See also:great houses of Russell and Cavendish, which had See also:long been closely connected by friendship and by See also:marriage, by See also:common opinions, common sufferings and common triumphs, received on the same day the highest See also:honour which it is in the See also:power of the See also:crown to confer." His last public service was assisting to conclude the See also:union with See also:Scotland, for negotiating which he and his eldest son, the marquis of Hartington, had been appointed among the commissioners by See also:Queen See also:Anne. He died on the 18th of See also:August 1707, and ordered the following inscription to be put on his See also:monument:
Willielmus See also:Dux See also:Devon,
Bonorum Principum Fidelis Subditus,
Inimicus et Invisus Tyrannis.
He had married in 1661 the daughter of James, duke of See also:Ormonde, and he was succeeded by his eldest son William as 2nd duke, and by the latter's son William as 3rd duke (See also:viceroy of See also:Ireland, 1737-1744). The latter's son William (1720-1764) succeeded in 1755 as 4th duke; he married the daughter and heiress of See also:Richard See also:Boyle, earl of See also:Burlington and See also:Cork, who brought See also:Lismore See also:Castle and the Irish estates into the See also:family; and from See also:November 1756 to May 1757 he was See also:prime See also:minister, mainly in order that See also:Pitt, who would not then serve under the duke of See also:Newcastle, should be in power. His son William (1748-1811), 5th duke, is memorable as the See also:husband of the beautiful Georgiana See also:Spencer, duchess of Devonshire (1757-1806), and of the intellectual See also:Elizabeth See also:Foster, duchess of Devonshire (1758-1824), both of whom See also:Gainsborough painted. His son William, 6th duke (1790-1858), who died unmarried, was sent on a See also:special See also:mission to the coronation of the See also:tsar See also:Nicholas at See also:Moscow in 1826, and became famous for his See also:expenditure on that occasion; and it was he who employed See also:Sir See also:Joseph See also:Paxton at Chatsworth. The See also:title passed in 1858 to his See also:cousin William (1808-1891), 2nd earl of Burlington, as 7th duke, a See also:man who, without playing a prominent See also:part in public affairs, exercised great See also:influence, not only by his position but by his distinguished abilities.
