He was styled as Viscount Wellesley until 1781 , when he succeeded his father as 2nd Earl of Mornington . In 1799 , he was granted the Irish peerage title of Marquess Wellesley of Norragh . He was also Lord Wellesley in the Peerage of Great Britain . Richard Wellesley first made his name as fifth Governor-General of Bengal between 1798 and 1805 . He later served as Foreign Secretary in the British Cabinet and as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland . In 1799 , his forces invaded Mysore and defeated Tipu , the Sultan of Mysore , in a major battle . He also initiated the Second Anglo-Maratha War . Wellesley was the eldest son of Garret Wesley , 1st Earl of Mornington , an Irish peer , and Anne , the eldest daughter of Arthur Hill-Trevor , 1st Viscount Dungannon . His younger brother , was Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley , 1st Duke of Wellington . Early life Wellesley was born in 1760 in Dangan Castle in County Meath , Ireland , where his family was part of the Ascendancy , the old Anglo-Irish aristocracy . He was educated at the Royal School , Armagh , Harrow School and Eton College , where he distinguished himself as a classical scholar , and at Christ Church , Oxford . He is one of the few men known to have attended both Harrow and Eton . In 1780 , he entered the Irish House of Commons as the member for Trim until the following year when , at his father 's death , he became 2nd Earl of Mornington , taking his seat in the Irish House of Lords . He was elected Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Ireland in 1782 , a post he held for the following year . Due to the extravagance of his father and grandfather , he found himself so indebted that he was ultimately forced to sell all the Irish estates . However , in 1781 , he was appointed to the coveted position of Custos Rotulorum of Meath . In 1784 , he joined also the British House of Commons as member for the rotten borough of Bere Alston in Devon . Soon afterwards he was appointed a Lord of the Treasury by William Pitt the Younger . The 1792 Slave Trade Bill passed the House of Commons . Mangled and mutilated by the modifications and amendments of Pitt , the Earl of Mornington , Edward James Eliot and the Attorney General , it lay for years in the House of Lords . In 1793 , he became a member of the Board of Control over Indian affairs ; and , although he was best known for his speeches in defence of Pitt 's foreign policy , he was gaining the acquaintance with Oriental affairs which made his rule over India so effective from the moment when , in 1797 , he accepted the office of Governor-General of India .

Portrait by Robert Home Mornington seems to have caught Pitt 's large political spirit in the period 1798 to 1805 . That both had consciously formed the design of expanding their influence in the Indian subcontinent to compensate for the loss of the American colonies is not proven ; but the rivalry with France , which in Europe placed Britain at the head of coalition after coalition against the French , made Mornington aware of the necessity of ensuring French power did not reign supreme in India . Governor-General War with Mysore On the voyage out , he formed the design of curbing French influence in the Deccan . Soon after his arrival , in April 1798 , he learned that an alliance was being negotiated between Tipu Sultan and France . He soon after was appointed Governor-General of Bengal on May 12 , replacing Lord Cornwallis . Mornington resolved to anticipate the action of the Sultan and ordered preparations for war . The first step was to order the disbandment of the French troops employed by the Nizam of Hyderabad . The capture of Mysore followed in February 1799 , and the campaign was brought to a swift conclusion by the capture of Seringapatam on 4 May 1799 and the death of Tipu Sultan , who was killed in action . In 1803 , the restoration of the Peshwa , Baji Rao II , proved the prelude to the war against Daulat Rao Sindhia of Gwalior and the raja of Berar , Raghoji II Bhonsle in which his brother Arthur took a leading role . The result of these wars and of the treaties which followed them was that French influence in India was reduced to Pondicherry , and that Britain acquired increased influence in the heartlands of central India . He proved to be a skilled administrator , and picked two of his talented brothers for his staff : Arthur was his military adviser , and Henry was his personal secretary . He founded Fort William College , a training centre intended for those who would be involved in governing India . In connection with this college , he established the governor-general 's office , to which civilians who had shown talent at the college were transferred , in order that they might learn something of the highest statesmanship in the immediate service of their chief . He endeavoured to remove some of the restrictions on the trade between Europe and Asia . He took the time to publish an appreciation of British composer Harriet Wainwright 's opera Comala in the Calcutta Post on 27 April 1804 . Policies Both the commercial policy of Wellesley and his educational projects brought him into hostility with the court of directors , and he more than once tendered his resignation , which , however , public necessities led him to postpone till the autumn of 1805 . He reached England just in time to see Pitt before his death . He had been created a Peer of Great Britain in 1797 as Baron Wellesley , and in 1799 became Marquess Wellesley in the Peerage of Ireland . He formed an enormous collection of over 2,500 painted miniatures in the Company style of Indian natural history . He founded short-lived ' The Institution for Promoting the Natural History ' in 1801 at Barrackpore near Calcutta . The institution was supervised by Francis Buchanan-Hamilton . As a part of this endeavor ' Barrackpore Menagerie ' was founded which survived till 1878 when animals and birds were transferred to Alipore which later became Calcutta Zoo . A motion by James Paull ( MP ) to impeach Wellesley due to his expulsion of British traders from Oudh was defeated in the House of Commons by 182 votes to 31 in 1808 . Mornington also disapproved of liaisons between Company officials and soldiers and locals , seeing them as improper . Britain Re-entering Parliament After his governorship ended in 1808 , he returned to Britain and began to join British politics yet again . The few years back in Parliament were quite uneventful , despite the overwhelming crisis the British government faced with the war in Europe and its domination by Napoleon Bonaparte . The growing French influence threatened Britain and its empire to the extent of causing high tensions in the country . While the crisis abroad was n’t enough , the British government had been led by weak and unsuited men from 1806-1809 with two short-lived ministries under Lord Grenville and the Duke of Portland respectively .

( January 2023 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this message ) But when on the fall of the Ministry of All the Talents in 1807 , Wellesley was invited by George III to join the Duke of Portland 's cabinet , he declined , pending the discussion in parliament of certain charges brought against him in respect of his tenure as governor-general and because of criticism of his administration . Resolutions condemning him for the abuse of power were moved in both the Lords and Commons but defeated by large majorities . Ambassador to Spain In 1809 , Wellesley was soon appointed as the British ambassador to Spain by Spencer Perceval . He landed at Cádiz just after the Allies victory at the Battle of Talavera , and he tried to bring the Spanish government into an effective co-operative agreement to support the campaign against the French with his brother , Sir Arthur Wellesley who was commander-in-chief of the British Forces . However , the failure of his allies to cooperate with the British soon forced both allies to retreat after French counter-attacks . Foreign Secretary A few months later , after a dispute between George Canning and Robert Stewart , Viscount Castlereagh led to a duel and soon led to the resignation of both ministers , Spencer Perceval offered Wellesley the post of Foreign Secretary in his cabinet , which he accepted . Unlike his brother Arthur , he was an eloquent speaker , but was subject to inexplicable " black-outs " when he was apparently unaware of his surroundings . He held this office until February 1812 , when he retired , partly from dissatisfaction at the inadequate support given to Wellington by the ministry , but also because he had become convinced that the question of Catholic emancipation could no longer be kept in the background . From early life , Wellesley had , like his brother Arthur , been an advocate of Catholic emancipation , and from then on he publicly supported that cause . Twice Lord Lieutenant of Ireland , and one of the original Knights of St Patrick , he surrendered that order on being made a Knight of the Garter on 31 March 1812 . Upon Perceval 's assassination he , along with Canning , refused to join Lord Liverpool 's administration , and he remained out of office until 1821 , severely criticising the proceedings of the Congress of Vienna and the European settlement of 1814 , which , while it reduced France to its ancient limits , left to the other great powers the territory that they had acquired by the Partitions of Poland and the destruction of the Republic of Venice . He was one of the peers who signed the protest against the enactment of the Corn Laws in 1815 . His reputation never fully recovered from a fiasco in 1812 when he was expected to make a crucial speech denouncing the new government , but suffered one of his notorious " black-outs " and sat motionless in his place . Family life Portrait of Hyacinthe Gabrielle Roland by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun , 1791 Wellesley lived together for many years with Hyacinthe-Gabrielle Roland , an actress at the Palais Royal . She had three sons and two daughters with Wellesley before he married her on 29 November 1794 . He moved her to London , where Hyacinthe was generally miserable , as she never learned English and she was scorned by high society : Lady Caroline Lamb was warned by her mother-in-law , Elizabeth Milbanke , a noted judge of what was socially acceptable , that no respectable woman could afford to be seen in Hyacinthe 's company . Their children were : * Richard Wellesley ( 1787-1831 ) , a member of parliament * Anne Wellesley ( 1788-1875 ) , who married firstly Sir William Abdy , 7th Baronet , and secondly Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Charles Bentinck . She and her second husband are ancestors of King Charles III ) * Hyacinthe Mary Wellesley ( 1789-1849 ) , who married Edward Littleton , 1st Baron Hatherton * Gerald Wellesley ( 1792-1833 ) , who served as the East India Company 's resident at Indore . * The Rev. Henry Wellesley ( 1794-1866 ) , Principal of New Inn Hall , Oxford . Through his eldest daughter Lady Charles Bentinck , Wellesley was a great-great-great-grandfather to Queen Elizabeth II . Wellesley also had at least two other illegitimate sons by his teenage mistress , Elizabeth Johnston , including Edward ( later his father 's secretary ) , born in Middlesex ( 1796-1877 ) . Wellesley 's children were seen by Richard 's other relatives , including his brother Arthur , as greedy , unattractive and cunning , and as exercising an unhealthy influence over their father ; in the family circle they were nicknamed " The Parasites " . Following his first wife 's death in 1816 , he married , on 29 October 1825 , the widowed Marianne ( Caton ) Patterson ( died 1853 ) , whose mother Mary was the daughter of Charles Carroll of Carrollton , the last surviving signatory of the United States Declaration of Independence ; her former sister-in-law was Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte . Wellington , who was very fond of Marianne ( rumour had it that they were lovers ) and was then on rather bad terms with his brother , pleaded with her not to marry him , warning her in particular that " The Parasites " would see her as an enemy . The Duke 's concern seems to have been misplaced ; they had no children , but the marriage was a relatively happy one - " much of the calm and sunshine of his old age can be attributed to Marianne " . Later life Lord Lieutenant of Ireland Lord Wellesley in Garter Robes , with the badge of the Grand Master of the Order of St Patrick around his neck and carrying the white staff of office as Lord Steward , presumably dressed for the coronation of William IV on 8 September 1831 . Westminster Abbey in the background . Portrait by Sir Martin Archer Shee and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1833 In 1821 , he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland . Catholic emancipation had now become an open question in the cabinet , and Wellesley 's acceptance of the viceroyalty was believed in Ireland to herald the immediate settlement of the Catholic claims but they would remain unfulfilled . Some efforts were made to placate Catholic opinion , notably the dismissal of the long-serving Attorney-General for Ireland , William Saurin , whose anti-Catholic views had made him bitterly unpopular . Lord Liverpool died without having grappled with the problem . His successor , Canning , died only a few months after taking up office as Prime Minister , to be succeeded briefly by Lord Goderich . On the assumption of office by Wellington , his brother resigned the lord-lieutenancy . He is said to have been deeply hurt by his brother 's failure to find a Cabinet position for him ( Arthur made the usual excuse that one cannot give a Cabinet seat to everyone who wants one ) . He had , however , the satisfaction of seeing the Catholic claims settled in the next year by the very statesmen who had declared against them . In 1833 , he resumed the office of Lord Lieutenant under Earl Grey , but the ministry soon fell , and , with one short exception , Wellesley did not take any further part in official life . Death On his death , he had no successor in the marquessate , but the earldom of Mornington and minor honours devolved on his brother William , Lord Maryborough , on the failure of whose issue in 1863 they fell to Arthur Wellesley , 2nd Duke of Wellington . He and Arthur , after a long estrangement , had been once more on friendly terms for some years : Arthur wept at the funeral and said that he knew of no honour greater than being Lord Wellesley 's brother . Wellesley was buried in Eton College Chapel , at his old school . Wellesley 's library was sold at auction in London by R. H. Evans on 17 January 1843 ( and three following days ) ; a copy of the catalogue , annotated with prices and buyers ' names , is held at Cambridge University Library ( shelfmark Munby.c.149( 1 ) ) . Legacy Marquess Wellesley by John Philip Davis ( " Pope " Davis ) . The Township of Wellesley , in Ontario , Canada , was named in Richard Wellesley 's honour , despite the many references ( e.g. : Waterloo , Wellington County ) to his brother , Arthur Wellesley in the surrounding area , as was Wellesley Island , located in the St . Lawrence river at Alexandria Bay . Wellesley Island also serves as the last point exiting the United States before crossing to Hill Island , in Canada . Province Wellesley , in the state of Penang , Malaysia , was named after Richard Wellesley . It was originally part of the state of Kedah . It was ceded to the British East India Company by Sultan Dziaddin Mukarram Shah II of Kedah in 1798 , and has been part of the settlement and state of Penang ever since . It was renamed Seberang Perai ( " across the Perai " in the Malay language ) not long after independence within Malaya . The Wellesley Islands off the north coast of Queensland , Australia , were named by Matthew Flinders in honour of Richard Wellesley , as was the largest island in the group , Mornington Island . Flinders is believed to have done this during his imprisonment by the French on Mauritius as Wellesley had tried to secure his release . Mornington Peninsula , south of Melbourne , was named after him . As of the summer of 2007 , a portrait of Marquess Wellesley hangs in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace . A street in Mirzapur ( United Provinces ) was named Wellesleyganj . Ancestry Ancestors of Richard Wellesley , 1st Marquess Wellesley 8 . Henry Colley 4 . Richard Wesley , 1st Baron Mornington 9 .
