'''Richard Colley Wellesley, 1st Marquess Wellesley''',<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/summary/Richard-Colley-Wellesley-Marquess-Wellesley|title=Richard Colley Wellesley, Marquess Wellesley summary &#124; Britannica|website=www.britannica.com))</ref> ((postnominals|country=GBR|size=100%|sep=,|KG|KP|PC|PCi)) (20 June 1760&nbsp;– 26 September 1842) was an Anglo-Irish politician and [[colonial administrator]]. He was styled as Viscount Wellesley until 1781, when he succeeded his father as 2nd [[Earl of Mornington]]. In 1799, he was granted the [[Peerage of Ireland|Irish peerage]] title of Marquess Wellesley of Norragh. He was also Lord Wellesley in the [[Peerage of Great Britain]].

Richard Wellesley first made his name as fifth [[Governor-General of Bengal]] between 1798 and 1805. He later served as [[Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (UK)|Foreign Secretary]] in the [[British Cabinet]] and as [[Lord Lieutenant of Ireland]]. In 1799, his forces invaded [[Mysore]] and defeated [[Tipu Sultan|Tipu]], the Sultan of Mysore, in a major battle. He also initiated the [[Second Anglo-Maratha War]].

Wellesley was the eldest son of [[Garret Wesley, 1st Earl of Mornington|The 1st Earl of Mornington]], an Irish peer, and Anne, the eldest daughter of [[Arthur Hill-Trevor, 1st Viscount Dungannon|The 1st Viscount Dungannon]]. His younger brother, Arthur, was [[Field Marshal (United Kingdom)|Field Marshal]] [[Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington|The 1st Duke of Wellington]].

==Early life==
Wellesley was born in 1760 in [[Dangan Castle]] in [[County Meath]], [[Kingdom of Ireland|Ireland]], where his family was part of [[Protestant Ascendancy|the Ascendancy]], the old [[Anglo-Irish]] [[aristocracy]]. He was educated at the [[Royal School, Armagh]], [[Harrow School]] and [[Eton College]], where he distinguished himself as a classical scholar, and at [[Christ Church, Oxford]]. He is one of the few men known to have attended both Harrow and Eton.

In 1780, he entered the [[Irish House of Commons]] as the member for [[Trim (Parliament of Ireland constituency)|Trim]] until the following year when, at his father's death, he became 2nd [[Earl of Mornington]], taking his seat in the [[Irish House of Lords]]. He was elected Grand Master of the [[Grand Lodge of Ireland]] in 1782, a post he held for the following year.<ref>((cite book|last=Waite|first=Arthur Edward|title=A New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry|publisher=Cosimo, Inc.|year=2007|isbn=978-1-60206-641-0|volume=I|pages=400))</ref> Due to the extravagance of his father and grandfather, he found himself so indebted that he was ultimately forced to sell all the Irish estates. However, in 1781, he was appointed to the coveted position of [[Custos Rotulorum of Meath]].<ref>((cite web|title=WELLESLEY, Richard Colley, 2nd Earl of Mornington [I] (1760-1842), of Dangan Castle, co. Meath.|url=http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1790-1820/member/wellesley-richard-colley-1760-1842|access-date=18 June 2014|publisher=History of Parliament))</ref>

In 1784, he joined also the [[House of Commons of Great Britain|British House of Commons]] as member for the [[rotten borough]] of [[Bere Alston (UK Parliament constituency)|Bere Alston]] in Devon. Soon afterwards he was appointed a [[Lord of the Treasury]] by [[William Pitt the Younger]].

The 1792 Slave Trade Bill passed the House of Commons. Mangled and mutilated by the modifications and amendments of [[William Pitt the Younger|Pitt]], the Earl of Mornington, [[Edward James Eliot]] and [[Sir Archibald Macdonald, 1st Baronet|the Attorney General]], it lay for years in the House of Lords.<ref>((cite web|year=1817|title=Parliamentary History|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4wcxAQAAMAAJ|publisher=Corbett|page=1293))</ref><ref>((cite web|year=1790|title=Journal of the House of Lords|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NxtDAAAAcAAJ|publisher=H.M. Stationery Office 1790|page=391 to 738))</ref>

In 1793, he became a member of the Board of Control over Indian affairs; and, although he was best known for his speeches in defence of Pitt's foreign policy, he was gaining the acquaintance with Oriental affairs which made his rule over India so effective from the moment when, in 1797, he accepted the office of [[Governor-General of India]].

=== Voyage ===
((Moresources|section|date=January 2023))
[[File:Richard Wellesley 2.JPG|thumb|left|Wellesley in officer's uniform with star and sash of the [[Order of St Patrick]]. Portrait by [[Robert Home]]]]

Mornington seems to have caught Pitt's large political spirit in the period 1798 to 1805. That both had consciously formed the design of expanding their influence in the Indian subcontinent to compensate for the loss of the American colonies is not proven; but the rivalry with France, which in Europe placed Britain at the head of coalition after coalition against the French, made Mornington aware of the necessity of ensuring French power did not reign supreme in India.<ref>See, e.g., William McCullagh Torrens, ''The Marquess Wellesley: Architect of Empire'' (London: Chatto and Windus, 1880); P.E. Roberts, ''India Under Wellesley'' (London: G. Bell and Sons, 1929); ''M.S. Renick, Lord Wellesley and the Indian States'' (Agra: Arvind Vivek Prakashan, 1987).</ref> 

=== Governor-General ===
==== War with Mysore ====
On the voyage out, he formed the design of curbing French influence in the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]]. Soon after his arrival, in April 1798, he learned that an alliance was being negotiated between [[Tipu Sultan]] and [[First French Republic|France]]. He soon after was appointed [[Governor-General of India]] on May 12, replacing the [[Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis|Lord Cornwallis]]. Mornington resolved to anticipate the action of the Sultan and ordered preparations for war. The first step was to order the disbandment of the French troops entertained by the [[Nizam of Hyderabad]].<ref>"Hyderabad Treaty (Appendix F)", ''The Despatches, Minutes & Correspondence of the Marquess Wellesley During His Administration in India'', ed. Robert Montgomery Martin, 5 vols (London: 1836–37), 1:672–675; Roberts, ''India Under Wellesley'', chap. 4, "The Subsidiary Alliance System".</ref>

The capture of [[Mysore]] followed in February 1799, and the campaign was brought to a swift conclusion by the [[Siege of Seringapatam (1799)|capture of Seringapatam]] on 4 May 1799 and the death of Tipu Sultan, who was killed in action. In 1803, the restoration of the [[Peshwa]] proved the prelude to the [[Second Anglo-Maratha War|war]] against [[Sindhia]] and the raja of [[Berar Subah|Berar]], in which his brother [[Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington|Arthur]] took a leading role. 

The result of these wars and of the treaties which followed them was that French influence in India was reduced to [[Puducherry (union territory)|Pondicherry]], and that Britain acquired increased influence in the heartlands of central India. He proved to be a skilled administrator, and picked two of his talented brothers for his staff: Arthur was his military adviser, and [[Henry Wellesley, 1st Baron Cowley|Henry]] was his personal secretary. He founded [[Fort William College]], a training centre intended for those who would be involved in governing India. In connection with this college, he established the governor-general's office, to which civilians who had shown talent at the college were transferred, in order that they might learn something of the highest statesmanship in the immediate service of their chief. He endeavoured to remove some of the restrictions on the trade between Europe and Asia.<ref>C.H. Phillips, ''The East India Company, 1784–1834'', 2nd. ed., (Manchester: Manchester UP, 1961), 107–108; "Notice of the Board of Trade, 5 October 1798 (Appendix M)," ''Wellesley Despatches'', 2:736–738.</ref> He took the time to publish an appreciation of British composer [[Harriet Wainwright]]'s opera ''Comala'' in the ''Calcutta Post'' on 27 April 1804.

=== Policies ===

Both the commercial policy of Wellesley and his educational projects brought him into hostility with the court of directors, and he more than once tendered his resignation, which, however, public necessities led him to postpone till the autumn of 1805. He reached England just in time to see Pitt before his death. 

He had been created a Peer of Great Britain in 1797 as '''Baron Wellesley''', and in 1799 became '''Marquess Wellesley''' in the [[Peerage of Ireland]].((Efn|Having hoped to receive the [[Order of the Garter]], Wellesley was much disappointed by an Irish peerage, which he contemptuously referred to as a "double-gilt potato."))<ref>Mornington to Pitt, April 1800, ''The Wellesley Papers: The Life and Correspondence of Richard Colley Wellesley'', 2 vols (London: Herbert Jenkins, 1914), p. 121.</ref> He formed an enormous collection of over 2,500 painted miniatures in the [[Company style]] of Indian natural history.

He founded short-lived 'The Institution for Promoting the Natural History' in 1801 at Barrackpore near Calcutta. The institution was supervised by [[Francis Buchanan-Hamilton]]. As a part of this endeavor 'Barrackpore Menagerie' was founded which survived till 1878 when animals and birds were transferred to Alipore which later became  Calcutta Zoo. <ref>((Cite web |title=Notes on the Birds of Barrackpore Menagerie |url=https://blogs.bl.uk/untoldlives/2023/06/notes-on-the-birds-of-barrackpore-menagerie.html |access-date=2023-06-14 |website=blogs.bl.uk |language=en))</ref>

A motion by [[James Paull (MP)]] to [[impeachment in the United Kingdom|impeach]] Wellesley due to his expulsion of British traders from [[Oudh]] was defeated in the House of Commons by 182 votes to 31 in 1808.<ref name="Impeachment">((cite web|date=3 April 2015|title=10 March 1806.

==Britain==
=== Re-entering Parliament ===
After his governorship ended in 1808, he returned to [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|Britain]] and began to join British politics yet again. The few years back in Parliament were quite uneventful, despite the overwhelming crisis the British government faced with the war in Europe and the domination of Europe by [[Napoleon Bonaparte]]. The growing French influence threatened Britain and its [[British Empire|empire]] to the extent of causing high tensions in the country. While the crisis abroad wasn’t enough, the British government had been led by weak and unsuited men from 1806-1809 with two short-lived ministries under [[William Wyndham Grenville, 1st Baron Grenville|Lord Grenville]] and the [[William Henry Cavendish-Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland|Duke of Portland]] respectively. 
((Unsourced|section|date=January 2023))
But when on the fall of the coalition ministry in 1807, Wellesley was invited by [[George III of the United Kingdom|George III]] to join the [[William Henry Cavendish-Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland|Duke of Portland's]] cabinet, he declined, pending the discussion in parliament of certain charges brought against him in respect of his tenure as governor-general and because of criticism of his administration. Resolutions condemning him for the abuse of power were moved in both the Lords and Commons but defeated by large majorities.

=== Ambassador to Spain ===
In 1809, Wellesley was soon appointed as the British ambassador to Spain by Perceval. He landed at [[Cádiz]] just after the Allies victory at the [[Battle of Talavera]], and he tried to bring the exiled Spanish government into an effective co-operative agreement to support the campaign against the French in country with his brother, [[Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington|Duke of Wellington]] who was commander-in-chief of the British Forces, through the failure of his allies failed to cooperate with the Spanish unsuccessfully. Soon the British and Spanish forces had been forced to retreat into [[Portugal]] after French counter-attacks. 

=== Foreign Secretary ===
A few months later, after a dispute between [[George Canning]] and [[Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh]] led to a duel and soon led to the resignation of both ministers, Perceval offered a new position in the cabinet and Wellesley accepted the post of [[Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (UK)|Foreign Secretary]] in [[Spencer Perceval]]'s cabinet. Unlike his brother Arthur, he was an eloquent speaker, but was subject to inexplicable "black-outs" when he was apparently unaware of his surroundings. 

He held this office until February 1812, when he retired, partly from dissatisfaction at the inadequate support given to Wellington by the ministry, but also because he had become convinced that the question of [[Catholic emancipation]] could no longer be kept in the background. From early life, Wellesley had, like his brother Arthur, been an advocate of Catholic emancipation, and with the claim of the Irish Catholics to justice, he henceforward identified himself. 

Twice Viceroy of Ireland, and one of the original Knights of St Patrick, he surrendered that order on being made a [[Knight of the Garter]] on 31 March 1812.

Upon [[Assassination of Spencer Perceval|Perceval's assassination]] he, along with Canning, refused to join [[Robert Banks Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool|Lord Liverpool's]] administration, and he remained out of office until 1821, criticising with severity the proceedings of the [[Congress of Vienna]] and the European settlement of 1814, which, while it reduced France to its ancient limits, left to the other great powers the territory that they had acquired by the [[Partitions of Poland]] and the destruction of the [[Republic of Venice]]. 

He was one of the peers who signed the protest against the enactment of the [[Corn Laws]] in 1815. His reputation never fully recovered from a fiasco in 1812 when he was expected to make a crucial speech denouncing the new Government, but suffered one of his notorious "black-outs" and sat motionless in his place.

==Family life==
[[File:Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun - Portrait of Hyacinthe Gabrielle Roland.jpg|thumb|[[Hyacinthe-Gabrielle Roland]], as painted by [[Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun]] in 1791.]]
Wellesley lived together for many years with [[Hyacinthe-Gabrielle Roland]], an actress at the [[Palais Royal]]. She had three sons and two daughters with Wellesley before he married her on 29 November 1794. He moved her to London, where Hyacinthe was generally miserable, as she never learned English and she was scorned by high society: [[Lady Caroline Lamb]] was warned by her mother-in-law, [[Elizabeth Milbanke]], a noted judge of what was socially acceptable,  that no respectable woman could afford to be seen in Hyacinthe's company.

Their children were:
* [[Richard Wellesley (1787–1831)|Richard Wellesley]] (1787–1831), a member of parliament
* [[Lady Charles Bentinck|Anne Wellesley]] (1788–1875), who married firstly [[Sir William Abdy, 7th Baronet]], and secondly Lieutenant-Colonel [[Lord Charles Bentinck]]. She and her second husband are ancestors of [[King Charles III]])
* Hyacinthe Mary Wellesley (1789–1849), who married [[Edward Littleton, 1st Baron Hatherton]]
* Gerald Wellesley (1792–1833), who served as the East India Company's resident at [[Indore State|Indore]].<ref>((cite web|author=Margaret Makepeace|title=British Library Untold Lives blog - Gerald Wellesley's secret family|url=http://blogs.bl.uk/untoldlives/2017/04/gerald-wellesleys-secret-family.html|access-date=25 April 2017))</ref>
* The Rev. [[Henry Wellesley (1794–1866)]], Principal of [[New Inn Hall]], Oxford.<ref>((Cite ODNB|last=Bayly|first=C. A.|author-link=Christopher Alan Bayly|id=29008|title=Wellesley [formerly Wesley], Richard))</ref>

Through his eldest daughter Lady Charles Bentinck, Wellesley was a great-great-great-grandfather to [[Queen Elizabeth II]].

Wellesley also had at least two other illegitimate sons by his teenage mistress, Elizabeth Johnston, including Edward (later his father's secretary), born in Middlesex (1796-1877). Wellesley's children were seen by Richard's other relatives, including his brother Arthur, as greedy, unattractive and cunning, and as exercising an unhealthy influence over their father; in the family circle they were nicknamed "The Parasites".<ref>((cite book|author=Joanne Major, Sarah Murden|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=p4SbDQAAQBAJ&q=richard+wellesley+children+parasites&pg=PA17|title=A Right Royal Scandal: Two Marriages That Changed History|date=30 November 2016| publisher=Pen and Sword |isbn=9781473863422|access-date=25 April 2017))</ref>

Following his first wife's death in 1816, he married, on 29 October 1825, the widowed [[Marianne Wellesley, Marchioness Wellesley|Marianne (Caton) Patterson]] (died 1853), whose mother Mary was the daughter of [[Charles Carroll of Carrollton]], the last surviving signatory of the [[United States Declaration of Independence]]; her former sister-in-law was [[Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte]]. Wellington, who was very fond of Marianne (rumour had it that they were lovers)  and was then on rather bad terms with his brother, pleaded with her not to marry him, warning her in particular that  "The Parasites", (Richard's children by Hyacinthe)  would see her as an enemy.<ref>((harv|Longford|1972|pp=113–4))</ref> The Duke's concern seems to have been misplaced; they had no children, but the marriage was a relatively happy one - "much of the calm and sunshine of his old age can be attributed to Marianne".<ref>((cite book|last1=Butler|first1=Iris|title=The Eldest Brother - the Marquess Wellesley 1760-1842|date=1973|publisher=Hodder and Stoughton|location=London|page=561))</ref>

== Later life==
=== Lord Lieutenant of Ireland ===
[[File:Richard Colley Wellesley, Marquess Wellesley.jpg|thumb|Lord Wellesley in Garter Robes, with the badge of the Grand Master of the [[Order of St Patrick]] around his neck and carrying the white staff of office as Lord Steward, presumably dressed for the coronation of King William IV on 8 September 1831. [[Westminster Abbey]] in the background. Portrait by Sir [[Martin Archer Shee]] and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1833]]
In 1821, he was appointed [[Lord Lieutenant of Ireland]]. Catholic emancipation had now become an open question in the cabinet, and Wellesley's acceptance of the viceroyalty was believed in Ireland to herald the immediate settlement of the Catholic claims but they would remain unfulfilled. Some efforts were made to placate Catholic opinion, notably the dismissal of the long-serving [[Attorney-General for Ireland]], [[William Saurin]], whose anti-Catholic views had made him bitterly unpopular. Lord Liverpool died without having grappled with the problem. His successor, Canning, died only a few months after taking up office as Prime Minister, to be succeeded briefly by [[F. J. Robinson, 1st Viscount Goderich|Lord Goderich]].

On the assumption of office by Wellington, his brother resigned the lord-lieutenancy. He is said to have been deeply hurt by his brother's failure to find a Cabinet position for him (Arthur made the usual excuse that one cannot give a Cabinet seat to everyone who wants one).<ref>((harv|Longford|1972|p=153))</ref> 

He had, however, the satisfaction of seeing the Catholic claims settled in the next year by the very statesmen who had declared against them. In 1833, he resumed the office of Lord Lieutenant under [[Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey|Earl Grey]], but the ministry soon fell, and, with one short exception, Wellesley did not take any further part in official life.((cn|date=January 2023))

===Death===

On his death, he had no successor in the marquessate, but the earldom of Mornington and minor honours devolved on his brother [[William Wellesley Pole, 3rd Earl of Mornington|William, Lord Maryborough]], on the failure of whose issue in 1863 they fell to the 2nd Duke of Wellington.

He and Arthur, after a long estrangement, had been once more on friendly terms for some years: Arthur wept at the funeral and said that he knew of no honour greater than being Lord Wellesley's brother.<ref>((harv|Longford|1972|p=394))</ref>

Wellesley was buried in [[Eton College Chapel]], at his old school.<ref>((cite magazine|last=Vernon|first=W. J.|date=March 1868|title=Eton and the Marquis Wellesley|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BO8IAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA363|magazine=The Gentleman's Magazine|page=363))</ref> Wellesley's library was sold at auction in London by R.

The [[Township of Wellesley]], in [[Ontario]], Canada, was named in Richard Wellesley's honour, despite the many references (e.g.: [[Waterloo, Ontario|Waterloo]], [[Wellington County, Ontario|Wellington County]]) to his brother, Arthur Wellesley in the surrounding area, as was [[Wellesley Island]], located in the St. Lawrence river at Alexandria Bay. Wellesley Island also serves as the last point exiting the United States before crossing to Hill Island, in Canada.

[[Province Wellesley]], in the state of [[Penang, Malaysia]], was named after Richard Wellesley. It was originally part of the state of [[Kedah]]. It was ceded to the [[British East India Company]] by the [[Sultan of Kedah]] in 1798, and has been part of the settlement and state of Penang ever since. It was renamed ''Seberang Perai'' ("across the [[Perai River|Perai]]" in the [[Malay language]]) not long after independence within Malaya.<ref name=":1">((Cite web|title=P 01.

The [[Wellesley Islands]] off the north coast of [[Queensland]], Australia, were named by [[Matthew Flinders]] in honour of Richard Wellesley, as was the largest island in the group, [[Mornington Island]]. Flinders is believed to have done this during his imprisonment by the French on [[Mauritius Island]] as Wellesley had tried to secure his release.<ref name=":0">((cite QPN|access-date=15 February 2017))</ref><ref>((Cite QPN|22847|Mornington Island|island in the Shire of Mornington|access-date=8 November 2020))</ref><ref>((Cite web|title=Three Letters from Matthew Flinders - No 13 March 1974|url=http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-13/t1-g-t1.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190910132414/http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-13/t1-g-t1.html|archive-date=2019-09-10|access-date=2020-11-08|website=[[State Library of Victoria]]|language=en-AU))</ref>

[[Mornington Peninsula]], south of Melbourne, was named after him.

As of the summer of 2007, a portrait of Marquess Wellesley hangs in the Throne Room at [[Buckingham Palace]]. 
A street in Mirzapur (United Provinces) was named Wellesleyganj.
