First Stanhope/Sunderland Ministry
Robert Walpole and Charles Townshend, 2nd Viscount Townshend were removed from their positions in the government (the latter was demoted to Lord Lieutenant of Ireland), and were replaced by James Stanhope, 1st Viscount Stanhope of Mahon and Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland, who cooperatively led the First Stanhope/Sunderland Ministry. The two Whigs remained in power from 1717 to 1721, although in 1718, Lord Stanhope exchanged positions with Lord Sunderland to form the Second Stanhope/Sunderland Ministry.
