Disputed prime ministers
Due to the gradual evolution of the post of prime minister, the title is applied to early prime ministers only retrospectively; this has sometimes given rise to academic dispute.
William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath
William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath, (22 March 16847 July 1764) was an English Whigs (British political party), Whig politician and peer who sat in the House of Commons of Great Britain, British House of Commons from 1707 to 1742 when he was r ...
, and
James Waldegrave, 2nd Earl Waldegrave, are sometimes listed as prime ministers. Bath was invited to
form a ministry by
when
Henry Pelham resigned in 1746, as was Waldegrave in 1757 after the dismissal of
William Pitt the Elder, who dominated the affairs of government
during the Seven Years' War. Neither was able to command sufficient parliamentary support to form a government; Bath stepped down after two days and Waldegrave after four. Modern academic consensus does not consider either man to have held office as prime minister; they are therefore listed separately.
