The Right Honourable Frederick Hamilton (Шаблон:Circa – 1715) was an Irish politician who represented County Donegal in three Irish parliaments. He was also heir apparent to his father, Gustavus Hamilton, 1st Viscount Boyne. He predeceased him but his son succeeded as the 3rd viscount.

Birth and origins

Frederick was born before 1686 in Ireland.Шаблон:Efn He was the eldest son of Gustavus Hamilton and his wife Elizabeth Brooke.Шаблон:Sfn His father would in 1715 be ennobled as Baron Stackallan and in 1717 advanced to Viscount Boyne.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn His father's family was a Protestant cadet branch of the House of Hamilton.Шаблон:Sfn

Frederick's mother was the eldest daughter of Sir Henry Brooke by his second wife, Anne St George. Brooke was knight of Brookeborough, County Fermanagh, and governor of Donegal Castle.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Frederick had two brothers and one sister, who are listed in his father's article.

First term as MP

During the 1st Irish Parliament of Queen Anne (21 September 1703 – 6 May 1713), Hamilton became a member of parliament (MP) by winning the 1707 by-election for one of the two seats for County Donegal. This by-election resulted from the death of the incumbent Henry Conyngham,Шаблон:Sfn in January 1706 in the Battle of St Estevan of the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714).Шаблон:Sfn Hamilton's father already held the other of the two seats of the constituency.Шаблон:Sfn

Marriage and children

On 1 September 1707, Hamilton married Sophia Hamilton, daughter of James Hamilton of Tollymore, near Newcastle, County Down, and sister of James Hamilton, 1st Earl of Clanbrassil of the second creation.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Anchor Frederick and Sophia had two sons:

1. Gustavus (1710–1746), succeeded his grandfather as the 2nd Viscount BoyneШаблон:Sfn
2. James (died 1740), a lieutenant in the navyШаблон:Sfn

—and two daughters:

1. Anne (born 1712), died youngШаблон:Sfn
2. Elizabeth (born 1715), died youngШаблон:Sfn

Vice-admiral of Ulster

In 1710 Hamilton became vice-admiral of Ulster when his father passed this office to him. Hamilton then held it until his death in 1710 when it reverted to his father. This office was a sine cure as Ireland had no navy.

Second term as MP

Hamilton was again elected as MP for County Donegal in the Irish general elections held in 1713 for the second Irish parliament of Queen Anne (1713–1714).Шаблон:Sfn This parliament was dissolved by the queen's death.

Third term as MP

On 3 October 1715 Hamilton was sworn of the Irish Privy Council. In November 1715 he was elected for a last time as MP, again for County Donegal, in the general election for the only Irish parliament of King George I.Шаблон:Sfn That parliament lasted from 12 November 1715 to 11 June 1727, but Frederick died on 10 December 1715, after not even a month's service. He was replaced by his younger brother Gustavus.Шаблон:Sfn

Death, succession, and timeline

Hamilton died on 10 December 1715, predeceasing his father,Шаблон:Sfn who would die in 1723,Шаблон:Sfn and his mother, who would die in 1721.Шаблон:Sfn At the time of Frederick's death his father had just been ennobled as Baron Stackallan and was not yet Viscount Boyne. Hamilton therefore was an heir apparent without a courtesy title as his father had no subsidiary title. His father was succeeded by Frederick's son Gustavus as the 2nd Viscount Boyne.Шаблон:Sfn
