- William_Wentworth,_2nd_Earl_of_Strafford abstract "William Wentworth, 2nd Earl of Strafford (8 June 1626 – 16 October 1695) was a member of England's House of Lords.He was born in Wentworth Woodhouse, Yorkshire, the only surviving son of Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford and his second wife Arabella Holles, the daughter of John Holles, 1st Earl of Clare. He studied at Trinity College Dublin. When his father, Thomas, was executed for treason in 1641, William left the Kingdom of England for several years, mainly for fear of reprisals, and lived for a time in France. In 1652 he was allowed to return on taking an oath of abjuration. In 1662, the bill of attainder against his father was reversed by Parliament, and he regained the title of Earl of Strafford and was invested a Knight of the Garter in 1661.He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1668 but was expelled in 1685. According to his father's biographer, he led a rather "obscure, undistinguished and uninteresting life". She does however praise his speech in the House of Lords in 1667 protesting against the banishment of Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon, on the ground that no crime had been proved against him; his attitude is the more creditable since Clarendon had been one of his father's bitterest enemies. He became a member of the Privy Council in 1674, and attended the crucial meeting in 1678 when Titus Oates first revealed his fabricated Popish Plot. During the Exclusion Crisis, he supported James, and made a point of calling on him when James travelled through Yorkshire on his way to Scotland in 1679.Wedgwood sums him up as "rather indolent and lacking in character"; but he was much loved by his family, especially his father, whose last letter was to "dearest Will" from " a father that tenderly loves you".On 27 February 1654, Strafford married Lady Henrietta Mary Stanley, the daughter of James Stanley, 7th Earl of Derby and Charlotte de la Tremoüille, Countess of Derby. The marriage was childless and Henrietta predeceased him on 27 December 1685 (see [1] for details of the riots associated wither her funeral). He buried her in York Minster, with an impressive monument to her memory.Straffor later married Henrietta, daughter of Frederic Charles de Roye de la Rochefoucauld, Count de Roye.He died in Yorkshire on October 16, 1695 and was buried in York Minster. Having no children, his earldom became extinct, but his title of Baron Raby was inherited by Thomas Wentworth, the grandson of a younger brother of the first earl, who later became Earl of Strafford of a new creation. However, Strafford's estates passed to his nephew Thomas Watson . Strafford County, New Hampshire in the United States is named in his honour.".
