    He was a government minister in the United Kingdom at various levels in the 18th century, including brief service as Prime Minister.
    .
    He had served in the House of Commons and then succeeded his father as a member of both the Irish and the British peerage.
    .
    Biographical information is here. Given conflicts between Ireland and the U.K. as a whole, that he served in government at the time of the American Revolution, and the simple fact that he worked in politics, I'm sure there were ample opportunities for people to describe his either of those two things.
