Untitled[edit]

According to Spaniard sources a ship called 'Stanhope', 70 guns, was seized in combat by the Spaniard Navy in 1714. However, it seems that there was no ship of the line called so in the Royal Navy from the late 17th century to the early 18th century. My query is whether such vessel was part of a private expedition rather than an actual naval ship of the line, perhaps a former naval ship put on sale, an no doubt renamed after Lord Stanhope, the general captured at the fall of Brihuega in 1710 and set free after a few years. Was there any ship, naval or privateering, named after James Stanhope? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.142.175.22 (talk) 10:12, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Last Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Lords?[edit]

According to Chancellor of the Exchequer he was the last Chancellor of the Exchequer to sit in the House of Lords. I propose to note this in the article. Alekksandr (talk) 14:07, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
