He was also known as the Travelling Earl, a notable Grand Tourist and filled his family home, Burghley House, with treasures purchased on his travels in 1679, 1681 and 1699. Supposedly a lay nonjuror; following the Glorious Revolution of 1688, refused to take oaths of allegiance to the new monarchs, William III and Mary II, believing the deposed James II was still the rightful king. Dutch propaganda lists Chesterfield, Clarendon and Exeter as being in arms for the Prince of Orange in 1688, which is untrue.

He did however remain in Oxford and spent his time editing the English chroniclers.

Engraving. Sheet 260 x 170mm (15 x 10½"). Trimmed into image, losing part of title, laid on album paper at edges.
Sir Roger L'Estrange (1616-1704), a Royalist pamphleteer, best known for 'An Account of the Growth of Knavery', which ruthlessly attacked the parliamentary opposition, placing them as "dissenting fanatics". During the Civil War he was sentenced to death as a spy, but after four years' imprisonment in Newgate he escaped to Holland. Pardoned by Cromwell in 1653 he returned to England, and, after a few years of living quietly, he started printed pamphlets calling for the return of Charles II. After the Restoration he turned from poacher to gamekeeper: as 'Surveyor of the Imprimery' he was tasked with the prevention of the publication of dissenting writings, with the right to search the premises of printers and booksellers on the mere suspicion. In the 1660s he returned to journalism; he wrote questioning the truthfulness of Titus Oates during the Popish Plot of 1678; and in 1681 he started the 'Observator', a paper written in the form of a dialogue between a Whig and a Tory (biased to Toryism), which lasted six years. Knighted by James II in 1685, he served as MP for Winchester 1685-89); however he lost all his offices with the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and, having been arrested for suspected plots, turned to more academic writing, including acclaimed translations of Æsop's Fables and the works of Flavius Josephus.

The accession of James II brought him back into royal favour, and he was by the king's side until he fled London in 1688. Although he soon switched allegiance to William and Mary, he joined other Tory peers in refusing to sign a 1696 agreement to support William III as their "rightful and lawful king" against Jacobite attempts, again losing his offices. He became a favourite of Queen Anne, who gave his the title Duke of Buckingham and Normanby the year after her accession.

In 1692 an attempt was made to frame the bishop as a Jacobite, the so-called 'flowerpot plot', with his signature (and Marlborough's) forged on a document detailing a plot against William III, hidden under a flowerpot in Bromley Palace. He and the Duke were arrested for high treason but soon released.
