John Hobart Caradoc, 2nd Baron Howden

John Hobart Caradoc, 2nd Baron Howden, GCB, KH (1799–1873), Minister Plenipotentiary in the British Embassy at Madrid, Spain, 1850–1858, was the son of General John Cradock, 1st Baron Howden, GCB (11 August 1759 – 26 July 1839), a British peer, (1st Baron Howden since 1819) in the Peerage of Ireland and since 1831 in the Peerage of the United Kingdom,

John Cradock, 1st Baron Howden (1759–1839), father of John Hobart Caradoc, 2nd Baron Howden

He was a politician and soldier instrumental in the 1798 battle of Vinegar Hill, Enniscorthy, County of Wexford, within what is known as the Irish Rebellion. He was, between other things, Governor of the Cape Colony, 1811–1814. He married Princess Catherine Bagration, née Countess Skavronskaya in 1830.

He had been appointed as a liaison officer of the British Army during the siege of the Belgian Antwerp citadel by the French Northern Army of Marshall Gérard end of 1832. For his services he had been made an officer in the Belgian order of Leopold on the 10th of March, 1833 and a commander in 1852.

John Hobart Caradoc was therefore, the grandson of John Cradock (1708? – 1778), alias Craddock, Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin from 1772, the Irish branch of the Protestant Church of England, nowadays. His accepted family name changed thus in two generations from Craddock to Cradock and then to Caradoc.

Commander of the Order of Leopold.[1]

gollark: Okay, I just found another way to get (very small) amounts of money which a bot could trivially do in a loop or something. If this is deemed an issue there'll inevitably be a hacky "fix" for it, but the system is fundamentally broken.

gollark: Also, bots wouldn't actually be an issue with a better designed system which requires thinking. Which, to be fair, this sort of does, except for the fact that the *only* way to get money is probably to check the prices constantly, which bots do well.

gollark: The old bot source is up. Someone could run a new subreddit with the old bot or something.

gollark: It seems a very weird system.

gollark: And generally for you to profit someone has to lose. Which is not quite the case in reality - stocks pay dividends.
