Description: "Robert Banks Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool, KG, PC (7 June 1770 ? 4 December 1828) was a British politician and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1812?27). He was 42 years old when he became premier in 1812, which made him younger than all of his successors. As Prime Minister, Liverpool became known for repressive measures introduced to maintain order; but he also steered the country through the period of radicalism and unrest that followed the Napoleonic Wars.[1] Important events during his tenure as Prime Minister included the War of 1812, the Sixth and Seventh Coalitions against the French Empire, the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars at the Congress of Vienna, the Corn Laws, the Peterloo Massacre, the Trinitarian Act 1812 and the emerging issue of Catholic Emancipation."--Wikipedia.
