Clifford, Thomas, 1st Baron Clifford of Chudleigh

    0.46 sec.

Clifford, Thomas, 1st Baron Clifford of Chudleigh (1630–1673)

English statesman. He was a member of the Cabal ministry of King Charles II. As a Roman Catholic, he supported the Declaration of Indulgence issued by Charles in 1672; he resigned when the Test Act was introduced in 1673.

Clifford was instrumental in arranging the secret Treaty of Dover in 1670, whereby Charles II promised Louis XIV of France that he would restore Catholicism in England and support France against the Dutch, and Louis agreed to finance Charles and supply him with troops if necessary.
