*the dead*
(4th ‘earl of sandwich’)
(“John Montagu”, 4th Earl of Sandwich, PC, FRS (13 November 1718 – 30 April 1792) was a British statesman who succeeded his grandfather Edward Montagu, 3rd Earl of Sandwich as the ‘Earl of Sandwich’ in 1729, at the age of 10)
(did he require a regent?)
(what was the average age that a european king (or queen) started making decisions on their own?)
(did it vary by country?)
(aka “stopped relying on regents”)
(during his life, he held various military and political offices, including ‘Postmaster General’, ‘First Lord of the Admiralty’, and ‘Secretary of State’ for the ‘Northern Department’, but is perhaps best known for the claim that he was the eponymous inventor of the ‘sandwich’)
