About James Stanhope, 1st Earl Stanhope

James Stanhope, 1st Earl Stanhope, was a British army officer and Whig politician who effectively served as Chief Minister between 1717 and 1721. He was also the last Chancellor of the Exchequer to sit in the House of Lords. Born in Paris as the son of a prominent diplomat, Stanhope pursued a military career.
