The title of earl of Derwentwater was originally created for Sir Francis Radclyffe in 1688. Sir Francis was made Baron Tyndale, of Tynedale in Northumberland, as well as Viscount Radclyffe and Langley.
Francis Radcliffe was subsequently raised to the Peerage as the 1st Earl of Derwentwater on 7 March 1687/8. In the same year, same anti-Catholic phobia that had led earlier to the Popish Plot resulted in an invasion of English by forces supporting the protestant William of Orange.
Derwentwater refused to take the oaths to the new monarchs, and as a Catholic he was excluded from taking his seat in the House in William III’s Parliaments. After the Revolution he was seen as the leading Jacobite in the north.
