Edward Hyde, 3rd Earl of Clarendon (28 November 1661 – 31 March 1723), styled Viscount Cornbury between 1674 and 1709, was an English aristocrat and politician. Better known by his noble title Lord Cornbury, he was propelled into the forefront of English politics when he and part of his army defected from the Catholic King James II to support the newly arrived Protestant contender, William III of Orange. These actions were part of the beginning of the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Cornbury's choice to support his cousin Anne instead of William after the rebellion cost him his military commission. However, Cornbury's support of King William's reign eventually earned him the governorship of the provinces of New York and New Jersey; he served between 1701 and 1708.

  • Edward Hyde, 3. Earl of Clarendon (* 28. November 1661 in England; † 31. Mai 1723 in London) war ein englisch-britischer Politiker und von 1702 bis 1708 Gouverneur von New York und New Jersey. (de)
  • Edward Hyde, 3rd Earl of Clarendon (28 November 1661 – 31 March 1723), styled Viscount Cornbury between 1674 and 1709, was an English aristocrat and politician. Better known by his noble title Lord Cornbury, he was propelled into the forefront of English politics when he and part of his army defected from the Catholic King James II to support the newly arrived Protestant contender, William III of Orange. These actions were part of the beginning of the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Cornbury's choice to support his cousin Anne instead of William after the rebellion cost him his military commission. However, Cornbury's support of King William's reign eventually earned him the governorship of the provinces of New York and New Jersey; he served between 1701 and 1708. As a High Tory governor, his primary mission was to protect the colonies during the War of the Spanish Succession (known in the Americas as Queen Anne's War, or the 2nd French and Indian War; 1701–1714). His administration successfully prevented French incursions into the middle colonies. However, he became mired in the region's many factional conflicts and accrued powerful political enemies such as Lewis Morris, who would go on to become Governor of New Jersey in 1738. By 1708, war-weariness led to a shift in the political tide in Great Britain. Governor Cornbury was recalled from the colonies but was soon after installed as a member of Queen Anne's privy council. Lord Cornbury's fortunes changed again when George I was crowned King of Great Britain on 1 August 1714. Out of favour, Lord Cornbury died in Chelsea, London on 31 March 1723. Lord Cornbury's conduct as governor has been generally remembered as scandalous. He was accused by his political enemies of being a cross-dresser, a moral profligate, and wildly corrupt. Few contemporary accounts exist of his conduct; and modern writers disagree as to whether or not Cornbury was actually a cross-dresser, or if Cornbury was possibly transgender. (en)
  • Edward Hyde, 3e comte de Clarendon (28 novembre 1661 - 31 mars 1723), titré vicomte Cornbury entre 1674 et 1709, est un aristocrate anglais et homme politique. Mieux connu sous son titre noble de Lord Cornbury, il est propulsé au premier plan de la politique anglaise lorsqu'il fait défection avec une partie de son armée, au roi catholique Jacques II, pour soutenir le nouveau prétendant protestant, Guillaume III d'Orange. Ces actions font partie du début de la Glorieuse Révolution de 1688. Le choix de Cornbury de soutenir sa cousine Anne au lieu de William après la rébellion lui coûte sa commission militaire. Cependant, le soutien de Cornbury au règne du roi William lui vaut finalement le poste de gouverneur des provinces de New York et du New Jersey entre 1701 et 1708. En tant que gouverneur haut-tory, sa mission principale est de protéger les colonies pendant la guerre de Succession d'Espagne (connue dans les Amériques sous le nom de guerre de la reine Anne ou la 2e guerre française et indienne ; 1701-1714). Son administration empêche avec succès les incursions françaises dans les colonies du milieu. Cependant, il s'embourbe dans les nombreux conflits de factions de la région et accumule de puissants ennemis politiques tels que Lewis Morris, qui devient gouverneur du New Jersey en 1738. En 1708, la lassitude de la guerre entraîne un changement dans la tendance politique en Grande-Bretagne. Le gouverneur Cornbury est rappelé des colonies, mais est peu après installé comme membre du conseil privé de la reine Anne. La fortune de Lord Cornbury change à nouveau lorsque George Ier est couronné roi de Grande-Bretagne le 1er août 1714. En disgrâce, Lord Cornbury meurt à Chelsea, Londres, le 31 mars 1723. La conduite de Lord Cornbury en tant que gouverneur est généralement restée dans les mémoires comme scandaleuse. Il est accusé par ses ennemis politiques d'être un travesti, un débauché moral et sauvagement corrompu. (fr)

  • Edward Hyde, III conte di Clarendon (Inghilterra, 28 novembre 1661 – Londra, 31 marzo 1723), portò anche il titolo di Visconte di Cornbury fra il 1674 e il 1709, fra il 1701 e il 1708 fu governatore del New Jersey e di New York.Salì agli onori delle cronache quando, assieme a parte del suo esercito, abbandonò il cattolico re Giacomo II per sostenere il nuovo pretendente protestante al trono inglese, Guglielmo d'Orange. Le sue azioni innescarono la Gloriosa Rivoluzione, un cambio di governi senza spargimento di sangue. Come ricompensa venne successivamente nominato governatore del New Jersey e di New York dal 1701, rimanendo in carica sino a 1708. La sua missione principale nelle colonie fu quella di proteggerle nel corso della guerra di successione spagnola (nota nelle Americhe come guerra della regina Anna 1701 – 1714). La sua amministrazione riuscì a impedire le incursioni francesi nei territori inglesi, ma ben presto dovette iniziare a fronteggiare dei contrasti interni. Nel 1708, il governatore venne richiamato dalle colonie per essere nominato membro del consiglio privato della regina Anna in Gran Bretagna. La fortuna di lord Cornbury murò drasticamente con l'incoronazione del nuovo sovrano, Giorgio I, il 1 agosto 1714. Ormai caduto in disgrazia, si ritirò a Chelsea, Londra, dove morì il 31 marzo 1723. Si crede che mentre si trovava in servizio per la corona, amasse praticare il crossdressing. (it)

  • [Lord Cornbury] was a clever man. His great insanity was dressing himself as a woman. When Governor in America he opened the Assembly dressed in that fashion. When some of those about him remonstrated, his reply was, 'You are very stupid not to see the propriety of it. In this place and particularly on this occasion I represent a woman and ought in all respects to represent her as faithfully as I can.' (en)
  • Edward Hyde, Viscount Cornbury , could very well have been known as the pre-founder of King's College. He was an advocate for the placement of a college in New York City, but somehow his suggestions were overshadowed by Colonel Lewis Morris' statements on the matter, as Morris is more famously known as the college's pre-founder. Although documents lead to evidence of Cornbury's support of the college, his involvement with the college's founding has been ignored because of his damaged reputation over the years. (en)
  • My father did business with Cornbury in woman's clothes. He used to sit at the open window so dressed, to the great amusement of the neighbours. He employed always the most fashionable milliner, shoemaker, stay maker, etc. I saw a picture of him at Sir Herbert Packington's in Worcestershire, in a gown, stays, tucker, long ruffles, and cap....

  • My Lord Cornbury hath laid the foundation of a stone fort at Albany, and hath carried it on a great way. It will be very regular and answer the end. … [The fortifications give] great satisfaction to our Indians, who lay the great stress of their security on the defence of those forts. (en)
