From 1711 to 1714 he was British ambassador at The Hague, and in 1711 he was created Earl of Strafford. The Earl was one of the British representatives at the congress of Utrecht, and in 1715 he was impeached for his share in concluding this treaty, but the charges against him were not pressed to a conclusion.
