William Paget, 6th Baron Paget

[1] Following the accession of William and Mary in 1688 he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Staffordshire in March 1689.

Paget was joint chairman at the congress of Karlowitz from 2 November 1698 to 26 January 1699 which resulted in the Treaty of Karlowitz between the Ottomans and the Holy League, ending the 15 year Great Turkish War.

Arriving back in London in April 1703 he was reappointed Lord Lieutenant of Staffordshire on 24 June 1703.

In 1699, he obtained an Act of Parliament to extend navigation on the River Trent from Nottingham up to Burton, but nothing was immediately done.

William Paget died at his London home on 26 February 1713 and was buried in the church of St Giles in the Fields on 20 March 1713.
