Introduction

Collection title: Radclyffe/Derwentwater PapersReference code: GB-0298-UC/P30Dates of creation: 1563-1718Extent: 5 filesRepository: UshawCreator: Earls of DerwentwaterLanguage of material: English and Latin

ContentsA collection of original manuscripts and transcripts relating to the earls of Derwentwaterand the Radclyffe family. The material itself, mostly letters with some legal papers, is chieflyof a personal nature. It includes information relating to the finances of the Radclyffe familyand the management of the Derwentwater estate. Some letters make reference to theCatholic faith of various members of the family, although there is little on the wider politicalsituation, with the exception of a series of transcripts relating to the 1715 Jacobite Risingcopied from the Clavering MSS held at Durham University Library Special Collections, aswell as some printed items on legal acts relating to Catholic lands.

About the creatorThe title of earl of Derwentwater was originally created for Sir Francis Radclyffe in 1688.Sir Francis was made Baron Tyndale, of Tynedale in Northumberland, as well as ViscountRadclyffe and Langley. He was succeeded by his son Edward, who married Lady MaryTudor, daughter of Charles II by his mistress, Mary Davis. It was the 3rd earl ofDerwentwater, James, who is perhaps the most widely known member of the Radclyffefamily. James was brought up in the exile court of St Germain as a companion to the youngprince, James Francis Edward Stuart, and succeeded to the family title in 1705. In 1715,he joined the Jacobite cause with his brother, Charles, and was subsequently executedfor treason in 1716. Following his death, the Derwentwater title was abolished and theestates were confiscated. However, his son, John, continued to use the title and becametitular 4th earl of Derwentwater until his early death in 1731. The 5th earl, Charles, whohad fought with James in the '15, had originally escaped to France but was captured thirtyyears later on his return to support the 1745 uprising and was executed in 1746. Althoughthe earls of Newburgh, James and Anthony, continued as respective titular 6th and 7thearls of Derwentwater later in the century, the male hereditary line died out and the titlebecame extinct in 1814.

ArrangementThe letters and other papers follow the original arrangement of the collection which isbroadly chronological. The exception to this arrangement is a handful of letters added tothe end of the numbering sequence at a later date.
