Checking some of our 1660-1715 texts and reminded of one of the Restoration church's best named bishops: Accepted Frewen, sometime president of @magdalenoxford and ultimately archbishop of York. He had a brother named Thankful. #HistParl #twitterstorians

‘one of the suppressed characters of English history’, born #OnThisDay 1737 William Petty, 2nd earl of Shelburne, later marquess of Lansdowne. He inherited Pitt the Elder's mantle but managed just 10 months as #PrimeMinister. #HistParl #twitterstorians
This handy reference sheet provides a snapshot of who was who in the House of Lords in 1821, titles, family names, dates of creation, marital status, no. of children, source of peerages, etc. There will be a quiz at the end of the period 😉 @yalelibrary campuspress.yale.edu/lewiswalpole/t…
The Georgian Lords have been away for a few days, but you can't keep a parliamentary historian away from another legislature... #HistParl #twitterstorians #Parliament
#DYK Daniel Defoe was a stockholder in the South Sea Company? He wasn't alone. At the start of the 18th c. people rushed to buy stocks in the company, causing the economy to soar. But the South Sea Bubble finally burst, crashing the stock market with it... ow.ly/IDqO50zl8Lb

"Far from a fool, he probably owed his reputation of being one to the fact that the word for a bore had yet to be invented." R. Sedgwick on Lord Dupplin (9th earl of Kinnoull). One sometimes forgets how many wonderful put-downs there are in the pages of @HistParl.
Shortly before his untimely death in 1755, Lord Montfort petitioned the Crown for permission to develop land for a new London residence. His project never came to fruition and the area was instead taken on by the Spencers who built their house on it. #London #HistParl
#OnThisDay 1770 John Wilkes, released from King's Bench prison on 17 April, returned to Prince's Court in Westminster after a few days with friends in Kent, and set up shop in the street which would be his home for much of the rest of his career. #London #twitterstorians
"difficult to say whether he was oftener intoxicated with wine or ambition" [Walpole]: born #OnThisDay 1690 John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville, effectively #PrimeMinister from 1742-44. A titan of the early years of Hanoverian Britain. #HistParl #twitterstorians
#ICYMI, on the #HistParl blog this week Dr Robin Eagles took a look at US 'Founding Father' Benjamin Franklin's opinion of British politics in the 1760s... @GeorgianLords #Franklin Read the blog here: ow.ly/W7vT50RglMw

@GeorgianLords @BenLTJackson @BSECS Absolutely! I’m currently cooking up a proposal with a couple of colleagues - should be interesting!
(which were words I never thought I would get to type, but there you go!)
If you're in the midlands (or want to be!) and you work on the eighteenth century, we'd love to see you at this year's Midlands Eighteenth Century Research Network workshop! 1-5pm on Tuesday 25 June. blog.bham.ac.uk/18c/2024/04/09…
@RAdmAubrey @GeorgianLords You could argue that the abolition is an example of a successful reform - ie the Commons actually passed something to change the lords. In an extreme way!
In case anybody needs some last minute tips on how to dress for Ladies' Day at @punchestownrace today, I wrote a short piece on the #history of festival fashion at the Co. Kildare racecourse: emmalyons.ie/were-not-here-… #HorseRacing #fashionhistory
#onthisday 1783: Prince Octavius, son of #georgeiii and #queencharlotte, died aged 4, likely due to side effects of smallpox inoculation. His death devastated his parents. In 1789 Charlotte wrote to a friend: 'Religion was my only support at that time.' #georgians #18thcentury
I really enjoyed writing a piece on deference and the #britishmonarchy in the #georgianera for this feature. Thanks @HistoryToday!
An old-fashioned feature of a fusty, inegalitarian past, when did the British stop knowing their place? Four historians share their perspectives. 🔓 May’s Head to Head is now free to read for the next 7 days. buff.ly/44qRjEX
