King Edward VII died on 6 May 1910 ( so heated had passions become that Asquith was accused of having " Killed the King " through stress ).

Raymond Asquith ( 6 November 1878 – 15 September 1916 ) was an English barrister and eldest son and heir of British Prime Minister H. H. Asquith by his first wife Helen Kelsall Melland ( who died 1891 ).

Asquith died from lymphoma at the age of 65.

The film was originally a project of the British director Anthony Asquith but he became ill and was replaced by Michael Anderson ( Asquith died in 1968 ).

Herbert Henry Asquith, 1st Earl of Oxford and Asquith, KG, PC, KC ( 12 September 1852 – 15 February 1928 ) served as the Liberal Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1908 to 1916.

She was married to Herbert Henry Asquith, a Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, from 1894 until his death in 1928.

In 1920 the mansion in Cavendish Square was sold and after her husband's death in 1928, Asquith slowly moved down the residential rungs to 44 Bedford Square, a beautiful house formerly occupied by saloniere Ottoline Morrell, before residing in rooms at the Savoy Hotel.

Asquith was a hate figure amongst the suffragettes, the windows of 10 Downing Street had been smashed in 1908 and in 1912 in Dublin his carriage was attacked by Mary Leigh.

This shift was best exemplified by the Liberal government of Herbert Henry Asquith and his Chancellor David Lloyd George, whose Liberal reforms in the early 1900s created a basic welfare state.

Although he presided over a large majority, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman was overshadowed by his ministers, most notably Herbert Henry Asquith at the Exchequer, Edward Grey at the Foreign Office, Richard Burdon Haldane at the War Office and David Lloyd George at the Board of Trade.

Lloyd George succeeded Asquith at the Exchequer, and was in turn succeeded at the Board of Trade by Winston Churchill, a recent defector from the Conservatives.

This coalition fell apart at the end of 1916, when the Conservatives withdrew their support from Asquith and gave it to Lloyd George instead, who became Prime Minister at the head of a coalition government largely made up of Conservatives.

Lloyd George and the Conservative leader Andrew Bonar Law wrote a joint letter of support to candidates to indicate they were considered the official Coalition candidates – this " coupon " as it became known was issued against many sitting Liberal MPs, often to devastating effect, though not against Asquith himself.

The Asquith government proved ineffective but when David Lloyd George replaced him in December 1916 Britain gained a powerful and successful wartime leader.

During the Great War the Liberal Party split into those led by former Premier Herbert Henry Asquith and the new Premier David Lloyd George.

The King was displeased at Liberal attacks on the peers, including Lloyd George's Limehouse speech and Churchill's public demand for a general election ( for which Asquith apologised to the King's adviser Lord Knollys and rebuked Churchill at a Cabinet meeting ).

During the election campaign Lloyd George talked of " guarantees " and Asquith of " safeguards " that would be necessary before forming another Liberal government, but the King informed Asquith that he would not be willing to contemplate creating peers ( to give the Liberals a majority in the Lords ) until after a second general election.

Although old-age pensions had already been introduced by Asquith as Chancellor, Lloyd George was largely responsible for the introduction of state financial support for the sick and infirm ( known colloquially as " going on the Lloyd George " for decades afterwards ) — legislation often referred to as the Liberal reforms.

Asquith was forced out in December 1916, with the war still raging and almost two years from its end, and Lloyd George became Prime Minister, with the nation demanding he take charge of the war in vigorous fashion.

In his War Memoirs 1, p. 602, Lloyd George compared himself to Asquith:

Before the 1923 election, he resolved his dispute with Asquith, allowing the Liberals to run a united ticket against Stanley Baldwin's policy of tariffs ( although there was speculation that Baldwin had adopted such a policy in order to forestall Lloyd George from doing so ).

In 1926 Lloyd George succeeded Asquith as Liberal leader.

) That failure, combined with the Shell Crisis of 1915 – amidst press publicity engineered by Sir John French – dealt Kitchener's political reputation a heavy blow ; Kitchener was popular with the public, so Asquith retained him in office in the new coalition government, but responsibility for munitions was moved to a new ministry headed by David Lloyd George.

Others stress his continued high administrative ability, and argue that many of the major reforms popularly associated with Lloyd George as " the man who won the war " as actually having been implemented by Asquith.

However, Asquith was not as successful as his successor as Chancellor David Lloyd George in getting reforms through Parliament as the House of Lords still had a veto over legislation at that stage.

The Asquith government became involved in an expensive naval arms race with the German Empire and began an extensive social welfare programme ( See Liberal reforms ), spearheaded by David Lloyd George, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and-at this stage-Winston Churchill who at the Board of Trade had passed measures against sweatshop conditions.

During the election campaign Lloyd George talked of “ guarantees ” and Asquith ( in his Albert Hall Speech, December 1909 ) of “ safeguards ” which would be necessary before forming another Liberal government, but in fact the King informed Asquith that he would not even be willing to contemplate creating peers until after a second General Election.

( The independent Liberal parliamentary leadership was briefly taken over by the unknown Donald Maclean until Asquith, who had lost his seat like other leading Liberals, returned to the House at a by-election ).

Asquith returned to the House of Commons in a 1920 by-election in Paisley.

In 1915 Selborne returned to government during the First World War when he became President of the Board of Agriculture in the war time coalition of Liberal prime minister H. H. Asquith.

In July 1916 Derby returned to the government when he was appointed Under-Secretary of State for War by H. H. Asquith, and in December 1916 he was promoted to Secretary of State for War by David Lloyd George.

Maclean therefore took on the role of Leader of the Opposition, until Asquith returned to the House after a by-election in 1920 and took over.

They returned to Asquith, where his father ran a hardware store and later a Dodge car dealership in North Battleford.
