Bayly], Henry William, first marquess of Anglesey (1768– 1854), army officer and politician, was born on 17 Ma y 1768 in London, probably at Uxbridge House, Burlington Gardens, th e eldest of the twelve children of Henry Bayly (1744– 1812) and his wife , Jane (/d/. 1817), daughter of Arthur Champagne, dean of Clonmacnoise , Ireland, and his wife, Marianne. By a tortuous line of descent from Will iam, first Baron Paget (1505– 1563), Henry Bayly became in 1770 the nin th Baron Paget (taking by royal licence the name Paget in place of B ayly) and, in 1784, the second earl ofUxbridge of the second creation. Henry William Bayly, as he then was, attended Westminster S chool, London, in 1777 and, as Lord Paget, Christ Church, Oxford , in 1784. After a two-year grand tour inEurope, he was elected unopp osed for Caernarfon boroughs in 1790 and for Milborne Port, Somerset , in 1796. These he represented silently until succeeding to the earld om in 1812. Soon after the outbreak of war with France he raised, at th e age of twenty-four, the 80th foot, largely from his father's tenan try. In June 1794 the regiment went to Flanders, joining the duke of Yor k's army there. At Meteren on 30 December he had his baptism of fire , leading his regiment in a successful charge. During the army's disastro us retreat he found himself commanding an infantry brigade after only on e year's service. On 25 July 1795 he married Lady Caroline Elizabeth Villiers (1774– 1835), known as Car, daughter of George Bussy Villier s, fourth earl of Jersey ; they ha d three sons and five daughters.

dish O'Grady, the 2nd Viscount Guillamore. Born 17th May, 1768, he served in several infantry regiments before he became Lieutenant-Colonel of the 16th Light Dragoons, 15th June, 1795. Transferring to the 7th Queen's Own Light Dragoons in April, 1797, he became Colonel of the Royal Horse Guards. He became a Major-General 29th April 1802, a Lietenant-General 25th April, 1808, a General 12th August, 1819, and a Field-Marshal 20th December, 1842. He became the 2nd Earl of Uxbridge in 1812 and the 1st Earl of Anglesey 4th July, 1815. He also attained the honours of K.G,. G.C.B, and G.C.H before he died. «tab»«tab»

on from 1790-96, and then for Milborne Port, 1796-1810. In 1793 he raised a regiment of infantry from his father's Staffordshire estates, given the number of the 80th Foot at the outbreak of war withRevolutionary France. he fought in Flanders (1794) and in Holland (1799), and commanded the cavalry of Sir John Moore's army with great distinction in Portugal and Spain during the Corrunna campaign of 1808-09. He won two important cavalry engagements at Sahagun and Benavente and helped cover the disastrous retreat over the mountains to Corunna.

rloo was highly praised by the Duke of Wellington in his despatch. Unfortunately, during the general advance of the line, one of the last shots of the battle struck the Marquess in the joint of his right knee. Amputation was needed at once and in lieu of an anaesthetic, the Marquess was given a cork on which to bite. The loss of his leg affected those around him but he retained a composed manner and asked who would not lose a leg for such a victory. The leg was buried in a neat garden opposite the inn at Waterloo and a monument was placed over it on which was written:

" Here lies the Marquess of Anglesey's leg

Pray for the rest of his body we beg."

nbsp;

His conduct caused him to be described in contemporary books as "the first cavalry officer in the world." Even his replacement legs received fame, for one of the first types is still preserved at Plas Newydd and the new type of artificial limb invented by "Potts" was named "the Anglesey Leg" and remained in use up to the time of the First World War.

 

In 1818 the marquess was made a knight of the Garter, in 1819 he became full general, and at the coronation of George IV. he acted as lord high steward of England. His support of the proceedings against Queen Caroline made him for a time unpopular, and when he was on one occasion beset by a crowd, who compelled him to shout " The Queen," he added the wish, " May all your wives be like her." At the close of April 1827 he became a member of the Canning administration, taking the post of master-general of the ordnance, previously held by Wellington. He was at the same time sworn a member of the privy council. Under the Wellington administration he accepted the appointment of lord-lieutenant of Ireland (March 1828), and in the discharge of his important duties he greatly endeared himself to the Irish people. The spirit in which he acted and the aims which he steadily set before himself contributed to the allaying of party animosities, to the promotion of a willing submissionto the laws, to the prosperity of trade and to the extension and improvement of education. On the great question of the time his views were opposed to those of the government. He saw clearly that thetime was come when the relief of the Catholics from the penal legislation of the past was an indispensable measure, and in December 1828 he addressed a letter to the Roman Catholic primate of Irelanddistinctly announcing his view. This led to his recall by the government, a step sincerely lamented by the Irish. He pleaded for Catholic emancipation in parliament, and on the formation of Earl Grey's administration in November 1830, he again became lord-lieutenant of Ireland. The times were changed; the act of emancipation had been passed, and the task of viceroy in his second tenure of office was to resist the agitation for repeal of the union carried on by O'Connell. He felt it his duty now to demand Coercion Acts for the security of the public peace; his popularity was diminished, differences appeared in the cabinet on the difficult subject, and in July 1833 the ministry resigned. To the Marquess of Anglesey Ireland is indebted-for the board of education, the origination of which mayperhaps be reckoned as the most memorable act of his viceroyalty. For thirteen years after his retirement he remained out of office, and took little part in the affairs of government. He joined the Russell administration in July 1846 as master-general of the ordnance, finally retiring with his chief in March 1852. His promotion in the army was completed by his advancement to the rank of field-marshal in 1846. Four years before, he exchanged his colonelcy of the Light Dragoons which he had held over forty years, for that of the Royal Horse Guards. He died on 29th April, 1854.

The Marquess had a large family by each of his two wives, two sons and six daughters by the first, Caroline Elizabeth VILLIERS (m. 25 Jul 1795) , and six sons and four daughters by the second, Charlotte CADOGAN ( m. 1810). His eldest son, Henry, succeeded him; but the title passed rapidly in succession to the 3rd, 4th and 5th marquesses. The latter, whose extravagances were notorious, died in 1905, when the title passed to his cousin.

GET (1778-1839), rose to the rank of vice-admiral in the Royal Navy; another, General SIR EDWARD PAGET (1775-1849), won great distinction by his skilful and resolute handling of a division at Corunna, and from 1822 to 1825 was commander-in-chief in India. One of the marquess's sons by his second marriage, LORD CLARENCE EDWARD PAGET (1811-1895), became an admiral; another, LORD GEORGE AUGUSTUS FREDERICK PAGET (1818-1880), led the 4th Light Dragoons in the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava, and subsequently commanded the brigade, and, for a short time, the cavalry division in the Crimea.In 1865 he was made inspector-general of cavalry, in 1871 lieutenant-general and K.C.B., and in 1877 full general. His Crimean journals were published in 1881.
