Henry Richard Vassall-Fox, 3rd Baron Holland, of Holland, and 3rd Baron Holland, of Foxley was an English politician and a major figure in Whig politics in the early 19th century.
Background
He was born at Winterslow House in Wiltshire, on the 21st of November 1773, and his father died in the following year.
He was the son of Stephen Fox, 2nd Baron Holland, his mother, Lady Mary Fitzpatrick, being the daughter of the earl of Upper Ossory.
Education
He was educated at Eton and at Christ Church, Oxford, where he became the friend of Canning, of Hookham Frere, and of other wits of the time.
Career
In 1791 he visited Paris and became acquainted with Lafayette and Talleyrand, and in 1793 he again went abroad to travel in France and Italy.
He had taken his seat in the House of Lords on the 5th of October 1796.
In 1800 he was authorized to take the name of Vassall, and after 1807 he signed himself Vassall Holland, though the name was no part of his title.
In 1800 Lord and Lady Holland went abroad and remained in France and Spain till 1805, visiting Paris during the Peace of Amiens, and being well received by Napoleon.
Lady Holland always professed a profound admiration of Napoleon, of which she made a theatrical display after his fall, and he left her a gold snuff-box by his will.
He was appointed to negotiate with the American envoys, Monroe and W. Pinkney, was admitted to the privy council on the 27th of August 1806, and on the 15th of October entered the cabinet " of all the talents " as lord privy seal, retiring with the rest of his colleagues in March 1807.
His loyalty as a Whig secured recognition when his party triumphed in the struggle for parliamentary reform, by his appointment as chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster in the cabinet of Lord Grey and Lord Melbourne, and he was still in office when he died on the 22nd of October 1840.
Achievements
He served as Lord Privy Seal between 1806 and 1807 in the Ministry of All the Talents headed by Lord Grenville and as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster between 1830 and 1834 and again between 1835 and his death in 1840 in the Whig administrations of Lord Grey and Lord Melbourne.
He was from his boyhood deeply attached to his uncle, C. J. Fox, and remained steadily loyal to the Whig party.
Personality
He was a man of leisure, a noted bon viveur, and suffered badly from gout.
Connections
After visiting Paris in 1791 Holland again went abroad to travel in France and Italy in 1793. At Florence he met Elizabeth Vassall, at that time Lady Webster, wife of Sir Godfrey Webster, 4th Baronet.
She was by birth Elizabeth Vassall (1770 - 1845), daughter of Richard Vassall, a planter in Jamaica.
She and her husband obtained a divorce, and she married Holland on 6 July 1797, becoming Elizabeth Fox, Baroness Holland.
An illegitimate son, Charles Richard Fox, was born to them. He later rose to become a General in the British Army.
Charles Richard Fox, who after some service in the navy entered the Grenadiers, and was known in later life as a collector of Greek coins.
His collection was bought for the royal museum of Berlin when he died in 1873.
They had three more children: the Hon. Stephen Fox (d. 1800), Henry Edward Fox, 4th Baron Holland, and Hon. Mary Elizabeth Fox, married to Thomas Powys, 3rd Baron Lilford.
