In 1676, Lawrence Hyde was sent as ambas: ad it to See also:Poland.; he then travelled to See also:Vienna, whence he proceeded to See also:Nijmwegen to take See also:part in the See also:peace See also:congress as one of the English representatives
.
Having returned to See also:England, he entered the new parliament, which met See also:early in 1679, as member for Wootton Bassett; in See also:November 1679 he was appointed first See also:lord of the See also:treasury, and for a few years he was the See also:principal adviser of Charles II
.
In See also:April 1681 he was created See also:Viscount Hyde of See also:Kenilworth, and in November following earl of See also:Rochester
.
He was compelled to join in arranging the treaty of 1681, by which Louis XIV. agreed to pay a See also:subsidy to Charles, at the very moment when he was imploring See also:- WILLIAM

The conflict between his wishes and his interests may have tended to sour a See also:temper never very equable; at all events the earl made himself so unpleasant to his colleagues that in See also:August 1684 he was removed from the treasury to the
more dignified, but less influential, post of See also:president of the See also:council, a See also:process which: his enemy See also:Halifax described as being " kicked upstairs." Although appointed lord See also:lieutenant of See also:Ireland, Rochester did not take up this position; he was still president of the council when James II. became See also:- KING

.
But in spite of their family relationship and their See also:long friendship, James and his treasurer did not agree
.
The, king wished to surround himself with See also:Roman See also:Catholic advisers; the earl, on the other See also:hand, looked with alarm on his master's leanings to that See also:form of faith
.
In See also:January 1687 he was removed from his office of treasurer, being solaced with a See also:pension of £4000 a See also:year and a See also:gift of Irish lands
.
After the revolution of 1688 Rochester appeared as a See also:leader of the Tories, and he opposed the See also:election of William and See also:Mary as king and See also:queen, raising his See also:voice for the See also:establishment of a regency on behalf of the exiled James
.
But he soon reconciled himself to the new See also:- ORDER

order, perhaps because he could not retain his pension unless he took the oaths of See also:allegiance
.
After this he was quickly in the royal favour and again a member of the privy council

He advised the queen in ecclesiastical matters, and returned to his former position as the leader of the High See also:- CHURCH

.
In 1710 he was again made lord president of the council
.
He died on the 2nd of May 1711, and was succeeded by his only son, Henry (1672—1758), who in 1724 inherited the earldom of Clarendon

When Henry died without issue on the loth of December 1758 all his titles became See also:extinct

Lawrence Hyde had some learning and a See also:share of his father's See also:literary See also:genius

The See also:main employment of his old See also:age was the preparation for the See also:press of his father's See also:History of the See also:Rebellion, to which he wrote a See also:preface
