Historian Hugh Trevor-Roper said in 1977 that More was " the first great Englishman whom we feel that we know, the most saintly of humanists, the most human of saints, the universal man of our cool northern renaissance.

As the American historian Gerhard Weinberg noted, German demands for territorial revision went beyond merely regaining land lost under the Treaty of Versailles, and instead embraced calls for the German conquest and colonization of all Eastern Europe, regardless of whether the land in question had belonged to Germany before 1918 or not Likewise, the British historian Hugh Trevor-Roper argued that the goal of overthrowing Versailles was only a prelude to seizing Lebensraum in Eastern Europe for Germany with no regard as to where Germany's 1914 frontiers had been.

Irving was an early proponent of the argument that the diaries were a forgery, and went so far as to crash the press conference held by Hugh Trevor-Roper at the Hamburg offices of Der Stern magazine on 25 April 1983 to denounce the diaries as a forgery and Trevor-Roper for endorsing the diaries as genuine ( Trevor-Roper had called the press conference to announce his withdrawal of his endorsement ).

Irving was proud of the " trail of chaos " he had created at the Hamburg press conference and the attendant publicity it had brought him, and in particular took a great deal of pride in his humiliation of Trevor-Roper, whom Irving strongly disliked for his criticism of Irving's methods and conclusions.

Getting gay men to give evidence was of considerable difficulty for the committee: Wolfenden considered placing an advert in a newspaper or magazine, but the committee instead decided to locate three men willing to give evidence: Peter Wildeblood, Carl Winter and Patrick Trevor-Roper.

Wildeblood had been convicted and sent to prison, while Winter and Trevor-Roper were more respectable: Winter was director of the Fitzwilliam Museum and Trevor-Roper was a distinguished eye surgeon and brother of the famous historian Hugh Trevor-Roper.

In order to protect their identities, Trevor-Roper was referred to as the " Doctor " while Winter was referred to as " Mr White ".

In private, he was furious with Trevor-Roper for holding an honour that Taylor considered rightfully his.

Adding to Taylor's rancour was the fact that he had arrived at Oxford a decade before Trevor-Roper.

Beyond that, it was fashionable to portray the dispute between Taylor and Trevor-Roper as a battle between generations.

Taylor, with his populist, irreverent style, was nearly a decade older than Trevor-Roper, but was represented by the media as a symbol of the younger generation that was coming of age in the 1950s – 1960s.

Trevor-Roper, who was unabashedly old-fashioned ( he was one of the last Oxford dons to lecture wearing his professor's robes ) and inclined to behave in a manner that the media portrayed as pompous and conceited, was seen as a symbol of the older generation.

A subtle but important difference in the style between the two historians was their manner of addressing each other during their TV debates: Trevor-Roper always addressed Taylor as " Mr. Taylor " or just " Taylor ", while Taylor always addressed Trevor-Roper as " Hugh ".

Hugh Trevor-Roper was awarded a life peerage in 1979 and chose the title Baron Dacre of Glanton, of Glanton in the County of Northumberland.

Richard Henry Roper, was the great-great-great-grandfather of the historian Hugh Trevor-Roper, Baron Dacre of Glanton.

The British historian Hugh Trevor-Roper, one of Carr's leading critics, summarized Carr's argument as: " George Grote, the 19th-century historian of Greece, was an enlightened radical banker ; therefore, his picture of Periclean Athens is merely an allegory of 19th century England as seen by an enlightened banker.

However, even before publication, Clark's work was coming under attack from supporters of Haig, including his son and historians John Terraine, Robert Blake and Hugh Trevor-Roper, former tutor to Clark, who was married to Haig's daughter.

His brother, Patrick Trevor-Roper, was a leading eye surgeon and prominent gay rights campaigner, one of only three gay individuals willing to testify before the Wolfenden Committee, which was investigating whether British law on this should be changed.

He consulted eye specialist Patrick Trevor-Roper, who diagnosed a latent squint and recommended that Chatwin take a six-month break from his work at Sotheby's.

Patrick Trevor-Roper ( 7 June 1916-22 April 2004 ), British eye surgeon and pioneer gay rights activist, was one of the first people in the United Kingdom to " come out " as openly gay, and played a leading role in the campaign to repeal the UK's anti-gay laws.

By the mid-1960s Sackville, who died in 1965, and Knollys had been replaced by the literary critic Raymond Mortimer and Patrick Trevor-Roper.

Leading the charge against Taylor was his arch-enemy Trevor-Roper, who contended that Taylor had wilfully and egregiously misinterpreted the evidence.

Using the alias of Major Oughton, Trevor-Roper interviewed politicians, military men, and supporting staff-which were present in the Führerbunker with Hitler, and who had been able to escape to the West, including Bernd Freytag von Loringhoven.

In 1948, a paper put forward by Stone in support of Tawney's thesis was vigorously attacked by Trevor-Roper who, in a rancorous counter-essay, showed that Stone had exaggerated the debt problems of the Tudor nobility.

Another notable feud Trevor-Roper carried on in the 1950s-60s was with the novelist and Catholic convert Evelyn Waugh, who saw Trevor-Roper as a severe critic of the Catholic Church, and was often vocal in expressing his criticism of him.

In regard to the Globalist-Continentalist debate between those who argued that Hitler had as his aim the conquest of the entire world, as against those who argued that he sought only the conquest of the continent of Europe, Trevor-Roper was one of the leading Continentalists.

The “ general crisis ” thesis generated much controversy between those, such as the Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm, who believed in the thesis, but saw the problems of 17th-century Europe as being more social and economic in origin than Trevor-Roper would allow.

Another Marxist critic of Trevor-Roper was the Soviet historian A. D. Lublinskaya, who attacked the concept of a conflict between " Court " and " Country " as fiction, and thus argued there was no " general crisis ;" instead Lublinskaya maintained that the so-called " general crisis " was merely the normal workings of the emergence of capitalism.

In 1960, Trevor-Roper waged a successful campaign against the candidacy of Sir Oliver Franks who was backed by the heads of houses marshalled by Maurice Bowra, for the Chancellorship of the University of Oxford, and had his old friend and publisher the Prime Minister Harold Macmillan elected instead.

Bullock's views led to a debate with Hugh Trevor-Roper in the 1950s who argued that Hitler did possess beliefs, albeit repulsive ones and that Hitler's actions were motivated by them.

Other possible inspirations include Lieutenant Colonel Sir Claude Dansey, deputy head of MI6 and head of the wartime Z network, who achieved different interpretations of his character from those who knew him: Malcolm Muggeridge thought him " the only professional in MI6 ", whilst Hugh Trevor-Roper considered Dansey to be " an utter shit, corrupt, incompetent, but with a certain low cunning ".

The term has since been widely used by scholars, such as Hugh Trevor-Roper, who sought to refine a typology of fascism, contrasting authoritarian-conservative ' clerical fascism ' with more radical variants.

Several experts, including British Hitler expert Hugh Trevor-Roper came forward to pronounce the diaries to be authentic ; when this was disproven Heidemann was arrested, tried, and sentenced to four and a half years in prison in 1985 for fraud, as was Konrad Kujau, who had actually done the forging of the books in Hitler's handwriting, as he had done previously with other fraudulent Hitler documents.

With regard to the Nazi foreign policy debate between “ globalists ” such as Klaus Hildebrand, Andreas Hillgruber, Jochen Thies, Gunter Moltman and Gerhard Weinberg, who argue that Germany aimed at world conquest, and the " continentalists ” such as Hugh Trevor-Roper, Eberhard Jäckel, and Axel Kuhn, who argue that Germany aimed only at the conquest of Europe, Kershaw tends towards the “ continentalist ” position.

Trevor-Roper inverted this theory, arguing that in fact the Civil War was caused in part by court gentry who had fallen on bad times.

In 1969, along with Hugh Trevor-Roper and A. J. P. Taylor, he became a member of the editorial board of Sir Winston Churchill's four volume A History of the English-Speaking Peoples.

At times, the discussion became quite heated ; the Italian Marxist historian Rosario Villari, speaking of the work of Trevor-Roper and Mousnier, claimed that: " The hypothesis of imbalance between bureaucratic expansion and the needs of the state is too vague to be plausible, and rests on inflated rhetoric, typical of a certain type of political conservative, rather than on effective analysis.
