------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robert Banks Jenkinson, second Earl of Liverpool,
was born on 7 June 1770 in London. He was the only child born to Charles
Jenkinson, first Earl of Liverpool and his first wife Amelia Watts. She died a
month after the baby was born. Liverpool had a half-brother and half-sister from
his father's second marriage. His maternal grandmother was part-Indian.
Liverpool was educated initially at Albion House, Fulham; he was at Charterhouse between and 1783 and 1787 and then he was admitted to Christ Church College, Oxford. He was there between 1787 and 1789 and again in 1790: in that year he was awarded his MA. During his 'year out' he travelled in France and witnessed the fall of the Bastille in Paris. After gaining his MA he returned to Europe, visiting Rome, Naples and Florence. Liverpool spoke fluent Latin and French
He was elected as MP for Rye on 18 June 1790 but was unable to take his seat until he was 21; he made his maiden speech on 29 February 1792. A week later he was invited to attend a ministerial meeting conducted by Pitt the Younger the PM. Following that, he resumed his continental travels, making very detailed observations on the political situation; this was done as a private citizen, not as part of his official duties. In June 1793 he was appointed to the Board of Control for India that was set up by Pitt's India Act. In June 1796 Liverpool's father was elevated to the peerage as Earl of Liverpool; his son took the courtesy title of Lord Hawkesbury and was known as such until he inherited the title in 1808. However, in 1803 he was elevated to the peerage in his own right at Baron Hawkesbury and became the Leader of the House of Lords. Liverpool held a number of government posts prior to becoming Prime Minister in 1812: he was
It was as Foreign Secretary in Addington's ministry that Liverpool negotiated the short-lived Treaty of Amiens, which was signed with Napoleonic France on 27 March 1802 . While Pitt was seriously ill, Liverpool was in charge of the government and drew up the King's Speech for the official opening of parliament; when Pitt died in 1806, the king pressed Liverpool to accept the post of PM but he refused. He was leader of the Opposition during Lord Grenvilles ministry: this was the only time that Liverpool did not hold government office from 1793 until 1827 when he resigned because of ill health. In 1807, he resumed office as Home Secretary in Portland's ministry, succeeding to his father's title the following year.
On 31 October 1809 Lord Liverpool accepted the post of Secretary of State for War and the Colonies in the new ministry headed by Spencer Perceval taking a major part in the establishment of the regency that was needed because of the illness of George III. The Prime Minister, was assassinated on 11 May 1812 and George, the Prince Regent, sought a new PM. The first four men whom he attempted to appoint were unable to form ministries. Liverpool was the Prince Regent's fifth choice for the post. Liverpool reluctantly accepted office on 8 June 1812, hoping to find and train a more brilliant successor. He served until 17 February 1827. During his long tenure of office, he allowed his Cabinet ministers to conduct their duties without overdue interference. Consequently, Liverpool's role has been minimised by historians although the mediatory role of Liverpool was crucial in holding together his ministry.
The war of 1812 with the United States and the final campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars were fought during Liverpool's premiership. It was during his ministry that the Peninsular Campaigns were fought by the Duke of Wellington After the defeat of Napoleon in 1814, Liverpool was created a Knight of the Garter at a special ceremony at Carlton House. Thereafter, a peace treaty was concluded with France and Liverpool decided to end the war against America: the Treaty of Ghent was signed on 24 December 1814.
In March 1815, Lord Liverpool made his first important speech as Prime Minister: he introduced new Corn Laws to improve the agricultural situation in the post-war period. However, Napoleon escaped from Elba immediately prior to the speech and the French Wars recommenced, ending only after the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. Napoleon surrendered to the British and was exiled to St. Helena where he died in 1821.
The period of Liverpool's ministry between 1815 and 1822 saw great changes take place in England. The government was obliged to repeal the Income Tax imposed by Pitt the Younger as a wartime measure; at the same time there was a stagnation of manufacturing industry leading to unemployment and also a series of bad harvests that led to food riots. Although the government was able to secure £1 million of public funds to finance the building of more Anglican churches, he did little to alleviate the distress felt by workers. There was a number of manifestations of discontent and distress in the period 1811 to 1820:
At the Congress of Vienna (1814-15), Liverpool urged the international abolition of the slave trade; within a few years the other European powers accepted this view. In 1819 he strengthened the British monetary system by restoring the gold standard. Throughout his tenure he insisted that ecclesiastical and other appointments be justified by merit rather than by influence. His attitude toward civil disturbances following industrial and agricultural failures was less enlightened: he suspended Habeas Corpus for in 1817 and imposed other repressive measures such as the Gag Acts of 1817 and the Six Acts in 1819 following the Peterloo Massacre. Later in his ministry, his position on proposals to repeal the Corn Laws and to grant political rights to Roman Catholic's was equivocal.
Liverpool was a conscientious and capable PM who succeeded in uniting the old Pittite forces and bringing together well-established and experienced men such as George Canning, Viscount Castlereagh and the Duke of Wellington. In 1822, following the suicide of Castlereagh, Liverpool undertook a Cabinet reshuffle and appointed a number of young men whom he thought had a bright political future: men like Palmerston, Peel, and Huskisson For his Foreign Secretary, Liverpool appointed George Canning.
By coincidence after 1822, there was a period of economic prosperity in Britain and Lord Liverpool tried to reduce taxation to ease the distress being experienced by landowners. Unfortunately, indirect taxes were left at a high rate and this adversely affected the poor who paid premium prices for their bread. In 1825 the prosperity led to speculation on stocks and shares that drained the reserves of the Bank of England and brought about a fiscal crisis. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Frederick Robinson, authorised the issue of Exchequer bills that calmed the situation. Liverpool planned to retire that year when a Bill for Catholic Emancipation passed the House of Commons but was persuaded to stay in office when the Lords rejected the legislation. In 1826 the economy entered another period of depression with the onset of poor harvests; Liverpool was able to secure parliamentary support for the introduction of a sliding scale on corn but he was unable to see through the measure. On 17 February 1827 he suffered a stroke; he resigned from office on 9 April and died at Coombe House, Kingston upon Thames on 4 December 1828.
Henrietta, Lady Jenkinson (nee Henrietta Scarburgh) (1695-1760), signed and
dated 1742 by Philip Mercier 99 1/2 X 59 1/2 (252.7 X 151.1)
Henrietta was the eldest daughter and co-heiress of Charles Scarburgh of Windsor and grand-daughter of the royal physician Sir Charles Scarburgh. She was a Lady-in-Waiting to Queen Anne 1709-12 and married Sir Robert Jenkinson Bt of Walcot, Oxon in 1717.
After his death she came to live at Temple Newsam with her sister and brother-in-law, Anne and Henry, seventh Viscount. In 1750 this portrait was mentioned as one of the six full lengths hanging on the north side of the Gallery.
