Castlereagh, Viscount, courtesy title of
Robert Stewart (1769–1822), of the Co. Down landed family, who in 1821 succeeded his father as 2nd marquis of
Londonderry. Elected MP for Co. Down in 1790, he was
chief secretary 1798–1801. Chiefly responsible for steering the Act of
Union through the Irish parliament, he seems at first to have underestimated opposition to the measure, but adroitly managed the bargaining and persuasion required to turn an initial parliamentary defeat into a safe majority for the proposal. During the
insurrection of 1798 he supported firm action against the immediate military threat but also joined in
Cornwallis's subsequent policy of conciliation. His contemporary reputation as the epitome of reaction owes more to his later career as British foreign secretary 1812–22, when he took a leading part in the reconstruction of Europe as a system of authoritarian monarchical states following the
revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, and was also associated with harsh repression in Great Britain.
