Life and Times of Other Windsor
Son of Other Windsor (1659- 1684) and Elizabeth Turvey.
m. Elizabeth Whitley: 1 child: Other 3rd earl.
Other was appointed Custos Rotulorum (CR) for Worcestershire (keeper of the Rolls) in
1710 and Lord Lieutenant for Cheshire and the counties of North Wales in 1713.
Other would lose both offices when George I (1660 - 1727) came to the throne:
The first to Lord Somers, a keen Protestant, who was Lord Chancellor under William III,
an architect of the union of England and Scotland and a fervent promoter of the Protestant
Succession which came about in 1714.
Other would be succeeded by the 1st earl of Cholmondeley as Lord Lieutenant.
Cholmondeley himself had had something of a roller coaster career.
Obviously Other did not do as well under the Hanoverians as he did under the last of the
Stuarts.
