In 1640 he was a colonel of foot, with the estates of a Prince and the habits of aProvost-Marshal. His reputation for ferocious crueltyhas survived the remembrance even of his successfulplunder of other people's property; before the campaignsof Cromwell there was no better synonym for wanton crueltythan the name of Sir Charles Coote. James Butler, Earl, Marquis, and Duke of Ormond deservedlyranks amongst the principal statesmen of his time. Duringa public career of more than half a century his ...conductin many eminent offices of trust was distinguished bysupreme ability, life-long firmness and consistency. Asa courtier of the House of Stuart, it was impossible thathe should have served and satisfied both Charleses withoutparticipating in many indefensible acts of government, and originating some of them. Yet judged, not from theIrish but the Imperial point of view, not by an abstractstandard but by the public morality of his age, he willbe found fairly deserving of the title of "the greatDuke" bestowed on him during his lifetime.
