William Charles Fortescue, 2nd Viscount Clermont (12 October 1764 – 24 June 1829), was an Irish politician. OriginsFortescue was the son of James Fortescue by his wife Mary Henrietta Hunter, a daughter of Thomas Orby Hunter, of Crowland Abbey, Lincolnshire. His uncle was William Fortescue, 1st Earl of Clermont, 1st Viscount Clermont. CareerHe served in the British Army, reaching the rank of lieutenant.[1] In 1796 he was returned to the Irish House of Commons for County Louth (succeeding his brother Thomas James Fortescue), a seat he held until 1800, when the Irish Parliament was abolished on the formation of the Union.[2] He was instead returned to the British Parliament for County Louth, where he remained until 1806.[3] Succeeds uncleIn 1806 he succeeded his uncle Lord Clermont as 2nd Viscount Clermont according to a special remainder in the letters patent. This was an Irish peerage and did not entitle him to an automatic seat in the English House of Lords although he was forced to resign his seat in Parliament as Irish peers were barred from representing Irish constituencies in the House of Commons.[1] DeathLord Clermont died at Ravensdale Park, County Louth, in June 1829, aged 64. He was unmarried and the viscountcy died with him. The Clermont title was revived in 1852 when his kinsman Thomas Fortescue was made Baron Clermont.[1] References1. ^1 2 thepeerage.com William Charles Fortescue, 2nd Viscount Clermont {{s-start}}{{s-par|ie}}{{s-bef| before = John Foster| before2 = Thomas James Fortescue }}{{s-ttl| title = Member of Parliament for County Louth2. ^leighrayment.com Irish House of Commons 1692–1800 3. ^{{Rayment-hc|l|4|date=June 2012}} | with = John Foster | years = 1796–1800 }}{{s-non| reason = Parliament of the United Kingdom}}{{s-par|uk}}{{s-new|constituency}}{{s-ttl| title = Member of Parliament for County Louth | with = John Foster | years = 1800–1806 }}{{s-aft| after = John Foster | after2= Viscount Jocelyn }}{{s-reg|ie}}{{s-bef | before=William Henry Clermont}}{{s-ttl | title = Viscount Clermont | years = 1806–1829 }}{{s-non | reason = Extinct }}{{end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Clermont, William Fortescue, 2nd Viscount}} 10 : 1764 births|1829 deaths|Viscounts in the Peerage of Ireland|Irish MPs 1790–97|Irish MPs 1798–1800|UK MPs 1801–02|UK MPs 1802–06|Fortescue family|Members of the Parliament of Ireland (pre-1801) for County Louth constituencies|Members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom for County Louth constituencies (1801–1922) |
