Nodyn | Note

Robert Clive, governor of Bengal, was the eldest son of Richard and Rebecca Clive (nee Maskell)ofStyche, Shropshire. He was born on 29 September 1725. In 1743 he was appointed a writer with theEast India Company at Madras. He proved to be a quarrelsome colleague and suffered from 'melancholy'which was to plague him for most of his life. During his early years in Madras he twice attempted suicideand fought a duel. The outbreak of hostilities between Britain and France in southern India enabled himto reveal hitherto unsuspected military talent. By the end of his first period in India he had proved himselfa guerrilla commander of genius: he had also amassed a considerable fortune, having been appointed acommissary for the supply of provisions to the troops in 1749. During his first stay in India he marriedMargaret Maskeleyne, daughter of Edmund Maskeleyne of Purton in Wiltshire.After unsuccessfully standing for Parliament he was sent out again to India in 1755 as governor of FortSt. David with the reversion of the governorship of Madras. On his arrival in 1756 he almost immediatelybecame involved with the affairs of Bengal which was ruled by the Mogul viceroys, and under whoseprotection the East India Company carried on its trade. The new nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-Daula, tookCalcutta and Clive set out to relieve the city in October 1756, which he took in January 1757. Insteadof returning to Madras he eliminated the French settlement of Chandernagore and installed Mir Jafar asnawab in place of the hostile Siraj-ud-Daula who was decisively defeated at the battle of Plessey in June1757.His first governorship of Bengal lasted until February 1760 by which time Mir Jafar's authority wasunchallenged in Bengal and Bihar. Clive had also became a very wealthy man. He had received £234,000,a Mogul title and an estate or jagir worth about £30,000 a year. On his return to Britain he was createdBaron Clive of Plessey in 1762, knighted in 1764 and also entered parliament as MP for Shrewsbury in1760, a seat he held until his death in 1774. He also purchased extensive estates mainly in Shropshire,including Montford near Shrewsbury, in 1761, Walcot, near Bishop's Castle, in 1763, and Oakly Park in1771.Clive returned for his third and last stay in India in 1765 and became governor of Bengal for the secondtime. His services in Bengal were required because Mir Jafar had been ousted by Mir Kasim who in turnhad been deposed in 1763. Shah Alam, the Mogul emperor, attacked again and the East India Companyseemed to be on the verge of extinction. It was during this, his second governorship of Bengal, thathis claim as a statesman rests. The Mogul emperor was pacified; Bengal was settled with a grant bythe Mogul of the revenue administration or dewanee of Bengal to the East India Company which gavethe company legal authority to collect the revenues of Bengal and Bihar; the East India Company wasreformed and the instincts of its officers for plunder curtailed, if only for a while; and military disciplinerestored.Clive left India for the last time in February 1767. Soon after his return his enemies, returned nabobs andpoliticians, attacked him and tried to blame him as the instigator of corruption amongst the servants of theEast India Company. He defended himself vigorously and successfully in parliament in 1772. However,the strain on his health proved too much. Already addicted to opium, he committed suicide at his house inLondon on 22 November 1774. He had several children. His eldest son and successor, Edward Clive, wascreated earl of Powis in 1804.



Hanes Gwarchodol | Custodial history

Clive's papers were originally held in their entirety at Powis Castle together with the records of thePowis estate, (presumably the papers were brought from Clive's various houses and estates to PowisCastle during the late eighteenth century). Part of his archive was loaned by his son Edward to Clive'sbiographer, Sir John Malcolm, who made extensive transcripts during his governorship of Bombay,1827-1830. How much of Clive's papers Malcolm took with him is unclear, though a list of letters andpapers taken by him from Walcot in 1825 is NLW, Powis Castle 12196. The papers loaned to Malcolmwere returned sometime after the biography was completed in 1836 (by an anonymous author, Malcolmhaving died in 1833). Thereafter the transcripts became so inextricably confused with Clive's own papersthat it was not until 1985 that the historian Huw Bowen realised that earlier researchers had used thetranscripts in the mistaken belief that they were originals. Malcolm's transcripts were removed fromClive's papers by NLW in 1999 and are now listed as a separate archive. Most of Clive's incoming letterswere transferred from Powis Castle to the British Library, whilst NLW acquired his copy outgoing letters,Indian financial papers and some estate and personal papers as part of a much larger archive of the Powisestate. Most of Clive's papers were separated from the Powis estate archive at NLW in 1954.

Natur a chynnwys | Scope and content

Nodyn | Note:

The fact that Clive had resigned the Company’s service and left for England in January 1767 whenthe first of the copies were made, possibly suggests that they were compiled or used as evidence to theparliamentary enquiry of 1772-1773 which looked into Clive’s management of affairs in Bengal.
