His subsequent career included a spell as governor of Tangier and general of the royal forces in Africa (1665-6). A Catholic, he was impeached during the Titus Oates 'Popish Plot' of 1678-81, accused of being the Commander-in-Chief of the "Popish army". It is said that Charles II burst out laughing at the idea that this infirm old man, who could hardly stand on his feet due to gout, would be able even to hold a pistol.
