Sinossi
Excerpt from Titled Corruption: The Sordid Origin of Some Irish Peerages
Your Grace may be surprised to see the name of Sir John Henniker, who is not an Irishman, in my list for new [irish] peerages, but as his son General Henniker came into Parliament here at his own expense and has been a steady supporter of the Union and assiduous in his attendance, and as it will a little suit my provincial politics in England to do a kindness to Sir John, I trust this promotion will not be disapproved.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book shines a light on a neglected aspect of Irish history: the corrupt creation of noble titles in exchange for political support. Drawing on the private letters of the era, the author presents an inside look at the scandalous inner workings of the Irish Parliament at the time of the Union with Great Britain in 1800. This exposà of aristocratic malfeasance explores the themes of political bribery, the manipulation of the legal system, the suppression of popular movements, and the role of public morality in politics. Providing a valuable resource for scholars of Irish and British history, this book ultimately highlights the enduring importance of ethical governance and the pitfalls of unchecked political power.
