Bolingbroke, Henry St John, 1st Viscount (1678–1751). St John was Tory MP for Wootton Bassett (1701–8) and Berkshire (1710–12), secretary at war (1704–8), secretary of state for the northern department (1710–13) and for the southern department (1713–14). He was in charge of the negotiations for the peace of Utrecht (1713) ending the War of the Spanish Succession. The growing rift between him and Robert
Harley effectively paralysed the Tory ministry. Dismissed office by George I, he was attainted and fled to France into the service of the pretender. He was pardoned and returned to England in 1723, and was restored to his estates in 1725, though barred from the House of Lords. Moving into opposition to
Walpole, he provided much of the intellectual backbone to the ‘patriot’ and Tory parties with his writings, particularly in the
Craftsman.
