tsi 118. War, Pragmatism and the Final Charge of a n English Monarch.mp3

The war of the Austrian succession, the pragmatic army and a king goes into battle.

William Pitt played an important part in the Opposition campaign for war against Spain and then again in the extension of that war to the War of Austrian Succession. He claimed it was subservient to Hanoverian interests which lost him the favour of the King. Pitt was encouraged by Pelham and Newcastle who were awaiting their chance to rid themselves of Wilmington and Carteret. This came in 1744 when Carteret was driven from office, Wilmington had died the previous year.

Meanwhile in the spring of 1743 George II and the Duke of Cumberland left England to take part in the war. George II led his troops against the French at Dettingen on the banks of the River Maine. This 'English' King was fighting to protect his Hanoverian interests. The English and the Hanoverians argued. In London many were against continuing this European war. The Jacobites judged their time was right and once more rose against the British throne.

tsi 117. Patronage and the Fall of Robert Walpole.mp3

Walpole resigns, patronage comes under the microscope and the King fears his nephew across the sea.

In 1742 Sir Robert Walpole resigned. He had been chief minister since 1721 and had governed unhampered by royal interference. In1714 George I came to the throne and his poor English precluded him from presiding in person over the Cabinet, he had to rely on his executive committee of ministers. Walpole established himself as the chief of these ministers and thereafter ensured that any rebellious colleagues were dismissed by the King.

The war in Europe meant England needed a firm hand at the helm of Government. Sir Spencer Compton, Earl of Wilmington was asked to form a Government by George II. He was immediately opposed in Parliament as totally incompetent. Lord Carteret was recalled from Ireland. Wilmington would continue as chief minister but Carteret became secretary of state and was sent to negotiate a treaty with Maria Theresa of Austria. So England joined Austria in the War of Austrian Succession against Frederick the Great of Prussia and France which had begun in 1740.

Jenkins' Ear sends Britain to war, Admiral Vernon waters down the rum and Britannia tries to rule the waves.

In 1739 Spain was interfering with English trading ships in the South Americas. Walpole was anti-war and tried to negotiate an agreement of rights. The Whigs, in opposition, demanded war. Spain had disarmed her ships as part of Walpole's negotiations. English ships in the Mediterranean were ordered home but these orders were revoked. War was declared at first with Spain and led to war in Europe, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Spanish Americas.

There followed a war of gross mismanagement during which Walpole resigned from office in 1742.

tsi 115. Queen Caroline and the Emergence Of W. Pi tt.mp3

Looking at Caroline, the queen, and her link to Walpole.

George II did not much like Sir Robert Walpole but Queen Caroline supported him and George II trusted her judgment. Those who were out of office, congregated round Frederick, Prince of Wales at Leicester House, among them was William Pitt. In 1737 George II argued with his son, Frederick. Later that year Queen Caroline died. For Walpole the end was at hand.

Walpole's peaceful, prosperous government had many critics. France believed that the differences of France, Spain, Austria and of course Britain should be settled by war. By the mid 1730s Austria went to war against Spain and France and Britain would be quick to follow.

tsi 114. George II and Turnip Townsend.mp3

A new King takes the throne and Walpole attempts to keep stability.

In 1727 George II acceded to the throne. George II sacked Walpole and asked Sir Spencer Compton to form a Government. This proved impossible. Compton had scant support in Parliament. Queen Caroline understood the balance in Parliament and convinced George to recall Walpole.

Walpole's policy was to sort out the problems within the nation and avoid foreign adventures, especially those dear to the King -namely involving Hanover.

Most men in Government were used to the glories of European wars and found it difficult to ignore European politics. But, Charles Townshend was one of those dismissed for being too adventurous in foreign affairs.

tsi 113. Monarchy, Cabinet and Dirty Taxes.mp3

1724, and Robert Walpole tries to resolve internal threats to his government. Anna Massey narrates the history of the British Isles.

The monarchy had lost its Britishness. The carefully developed responsibility of monarchs had been kingship - the promise to protect the people from invaders and lawmakers in return for the right to rule. When in the past, a king or queen talked about "my people" there was a sense of responsibility but most of all, identity. This, essential part of kingship, had gone. George I became king of Great Britain for political reasons. His first qualification was that he was Protestant.

The Prime Minister stabilized the economy, the monarchy and the Whig Party. He held all political threats at bay and the opposition gathered around the Prince of Wales, who was banished from Court in 1717. The Prince and his wife Caroline of Ansbach established their own court at Leicester House.

tsi 112. The New Hanoverians - Death, Gin and Defo e.mp3

Daniel Defoe makes an appearance as a social historian, charting a struggling society and the rise of tradesmen. Anna Massey narrates the history of the British Isles.

Robert Walpole achieved peace. He made Great Britain more economic, encourage trade and religious tolerance. He could do nothing about the lack of medical knowledge - more people were dying at the beginning of the 18th century than were being born. Cheap gin was not helping matters.

Trade was all important and the trading classes were elevated to high society. Scientists were beginning to make the manual work easier. For example, in 1701, Jethro Tull had invented the wheeled seed drill.

tsi 111. Robert Walpole - the First Prime Minister.mp3

How the first Prime Minister, Robert Walpole rose to power in 1721.

During George I's absences in Hanover Robert Walpole became the leading force in Government. He was first and foremost a businessman and gradually controlled Britain's debt. Taxation was low, land tax reduced and trade stimulated.

Walpole avoided war by a rigid policy of non-intervention in European politics. He kept the Tories at bay by accusing them of being Jacobites which made George I extremely wary of them. He allowed Edmund Gibson, Bishop of London, to handle church matters. He took steps to keep dissenters happy.

Walpole kept the Court sweet by giving George I's mistresses pensions and titles.

tsi 110. The Damning of the MacGregors.mp3

What benefits did a united land bring to the Scots?

The wars with France had left Great Britain with a £50million debt. Taxes could not be raised in sufficient amounts to cover.

In 1710 a Tory Ministry had granted a charter to a company trading with the South Seas and had arranged for it to take over part of the National Debt.

In 1720 a group of Directors approached the Government with a plan to absorb the whole of the National Debt - a sum of about £30million. Offering the Government the chance of wiping out the whole debt in 25 years.

The bubble burst. Heads rolled. The Directors of the Company were arrested and their estates forfeited. It was discovered that 462 members of the Commons and 112 peers were involved.

The rise of the man destined to become Britain's first Prime Minister - Robert Walpole.

On George I's ascendancy to the throne Marlborough returned to power. Bolingbroke went into exile in France and became James Edward Stuart's secretary of state. George was advised by his Lord Chancellor, William Cowper and the Whigs dominated the Government.

The Old Pretender had some support in England and in September 1715 the Jacobite standard was raised at Perth. 10,000 men rose in arms against Hanoverian rule in Scotland. Parliament passed the Riot Act and a reward of £100,000 was posted for the Pretender, dead or alive. Government forces met the Jacobite army at Sheriffmuir, the battle was indecisive but the Jacobites were discouraged and James Stuart returned to France.

Marlborough is accused of misappropriating funds that were meant for the war.

Queen Anne died in 1714. George, the Elector of Hanover was 52 years old. He spoke no English but was a Protestant, a Lutheran. In spite of the Act of Supremacy many in Government would have preferred the Pretender. The Fleet was mobilised under the Earl of Berkeley and ordered to patrol the Channel and watch the French Ports. Ten battalions were recalled from Flanders and the garrisons were put under arms.

On 18 September 1714 George, Elector of Hanover sailed up the Thames and landed in Greenwich and the Hanoverian reign began.

tsi 107. The End of the War With France.mp3

The political intrigues of Marlborough and his wife are examined in this episode,

England was war weary. Marlborough had fallen from the Queen's favour and many in Parliament wanted to be rid of him; but while England was still at war Marlborough was a necessity. Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy won another victory against the French at Oudenarde. They went on to take Lille, Bruge and Ghent. The navy took Minorca. France admitted defeat.

The war with Spain though was not over and although Louis XIV said he would no longer defend Philip of Spain (his grandson) and said he would withdraw from Spain and give over French fortresses to the Alliance, he refused to go to war against his grandson. Peace terms broke down.

Marlborough led a terrible carnage at Malplaquet. The Whigs claimed another victory, the Tories said they had thrown away a chance for peace.

Marlborough returned to face a charge - embezzlement of public monies. The King of Prussia protested Marlborough's innocence in a solemn document and, Prince Eugene travelled to England to plead for him. But the Tory government ignored the princes of Europe and Marlborough was dismissed from all his offices.

A year later the Peace of Utrecht ended the War of Spanish Succession.

In 1707 the Act of Union with England and Scotland became law. James I had styled himself King of Great Britain but it had taken a full century for Great Britain to become a legal fact. It had been debated on and off since Queen Anne's accession. England was now prepared to show some financial generosity to the Scots and they in turn were willing to accept the Hanoverian succession.

The English and Scottish Parliaments joined together thus ensuring that their choice of monarch would be the same and their decisions in foreign policy would not conflict.

tsi 102. 1702 - A New Queen and Why Britain Must G o to War.mp3

Queen Anne married George of Denmark and had no children, although she had been pregnant 18 times. She was also the last monarch to veto a bill of parliament.

Queen Anne came to the throne in 1702. The Tories were isolationist, the Whigs were for war. Marlborough, although a Tory, understood that if England did not go to war Louis would win it and whoever won it would control not only Europe but the distant colonies.

Another reason for war was that James Edward Stuart might try and reclaim the crown, France had acknowledged him as the true King.

The French placed their main army near Nimwegan and Marlborough met them there and won a useful victory that freed the whole river channel of the Meuse. The Grand Alliance united under Marlborough against Louis XIV.

Meanwhile William III fought and lost a terrible battles against the French in the Spanish Netherlands. He would not give up but his coffers were empty. Private enterprise came to his rescue. A company was set up. It had 1,268 shareholders who raised £1,200,000 and loaned it to the Government at eight per cent interest and with an administration fee of £100,000 a year. The money lenders with a legitimate royal charter. In 1694 The Governor and Company of the Bank of England was formed.

During the Jacobite rebellion, William III faced frequent skirmishes in Scotland. Anna Massey narrates the history of Britain.

Towards the end of the 17th Century Scotland was ruled from London and by men who knew nothing of Scotland's needs and habits. There was a Privy Council in Scotland but it had limited power. James II was also VII of Scotland. His supporters were known as Jacobites. In 1689 John Graham of Claverhouse, Viscount Dundee led the Jacobites against William's men at the Pass of Killiecrankie. Dundee was victorious but was wounded and later died. Dundee's timing was wrong it was not until William III massacred the Jacobites that the Scots came out in support.

Meanwhile James II had escaped to France and with the aid of Louis XIV and French troops had invaded Ireland and was reigning in Dublin. In London Whigs and Tories quarreled amongst themselves and William III played one off against another.

William III was a gifted statesman. Parliament wanted a compliant and Protestant monarch. William surrounded himself with Whigs. The Tories wanted Mary to rule as regent on James II's behalf but James's escape amounted to abdication and since nobody believed that his son was legitimate, indeed was even of royal blood, Mary was the only heir. The Declaration of Rights announced William and Mary as joint sovereigns.

William III's first interest was war with France. Within a year he would be fighting in Scotland and be victorious at the Battle of the Boyne.

James attempts to reverse certain unpopular decisions but it proves too late.

Protestant Europe and England looked to William of Orange as their champion. His first and foremost duty, however, was to the States-General, he had to obtain their approval to claim the English throne on his wife's behalf. The French were ready to do battle on Catholicism's behalf but James did not ally himself with France, he did nothing.

Too late James II repealed all Catholic legislation and deserted the standard he had set up hoping to placate the country. William set to sea. By the end of the year it was all over. James was allowed to escape to France. He would return two years later invading Ireland with French troops. He died in France in 1701.

There is no evidence that William ever intended to be more than Mary's regent but she was adamant she did not want to rule alone.

This episode looks at the power of James, the last ever Catholic King.

By 1688 the country was disillusioned with the King and once again faced civil war. The King had a large, well-equipped, regular army with a powerful artillery and the best Navy afloat. The opposition, led by the Earl of Danby, conspired to bring Prince William of Orange from the Netherlands to fight their cause.

In April 1688 James issued a second Declaration of Indulgence and ordered it should be read in all churches on 18th May. Seven bishops, headed by the venerable William Sancroft, refused. James demanded they should be tried for seditious libel. Even Judge Jeffreys thought this unwise. The bishops were sent to the Tower.

On 10th June the Queen, Mary of Modena, gave birth to a son. The Catholic line would be continued. It is at this point that the opposition wrote to Prince WIlliam of Orange.

Robert Spencer, Earl of Sutherland became Lord President in place of Halifax and henceforward was James's Chief Minister. James set out to create a strong standing army, he claimed the militia was useless. He made it clear he would retain his Catholic officers. Parliament rebelled. James II dissolved Parliament.

Gentry and parish responsibilities merged providing the social structure of the English Church and often the whole community which was to survive as a parochial pecking order into the 20th Century. February 1685 saw the end of the reign that restored the monarchy. Nothing would induce the King to betray the succession. The Protestants voted against James, Duke of York becoming King. The clergy tried to induce James to return to the English Church. He refused.

Meanwhile Lord Danby engineered the marriage of Mary, the Duke of York's daughter to the Protestant, William of Orange. In 1678 the Whig and Puritan leaders exposed letters written by Danby mentioning six million livres as the price of English assent to the proposed Treaty of Nimwegan between the French and the Dutch and the King's desire to be independent of Parliamentary grants. Charles dissolved Parliament rather than have Danby impeached. Charles hoped for more support when he recalled Parliament but this did not happen. Danby was imprisoned in the Tower.
