Biography
George William Frederick Villers was born on January 12, 1800 in London, in the family of George Villiers and Theresa Parker [2] . Grandson of Thomas Villiers, 1st Earl of Clarendon ( English ) [3] . In 1838 he inherited the titles of Count Clarendon and Baron Hyde.
He was in the office of Melbourne as the keeper of the press and chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster , in the office of Russell - Minister of Commerce and Lord-Lieutenant (Governor) of Ireland . As a result of strong famine and the general revolutionary movement in 1848, unrest threatened here, Clarendon received special powers from parliament and, trying to act moderately and fairly, restored calm to the country. During the Crimean War of 1854–56, Clarendon served as foreign minister and participated in the Paris Congress. During the complications caused by the assassination of Felice Orsini on the life of Napoleon III, Clarendon was accused of sympathy for France and did not return to power when in 1859 the government again led Palmerston . Only in 1864, he entered the office, and under Russell ( 1865 ) he again received the portfolio of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, entrusted to him in the first office of Gladstone. He tried in vain to arrange an agreement for British and Russian interests in Asia, and just as in vain in 1870, he offered Prussia to disarm.
