William Ewart Gladstone (29 December 1809 – 19 May 1898) was a British Liberal politician who served as Prime Minister four separate times, and was noted for his rivalry with Conservative Benjamin Disraeli.
In 1868, then Prime Minister Disraeli petitioned for the Corrupt Practices Act. The Templar Order opposed the act, planning to assassinate Disraeli and replace him with Gladstone, who they believed would be more easy to manipulate.
Sometime later, the Assassin Jacob Frye stole Gladstone and his wife's invitations for a ball in the Buckingham Palace. Afterwards, Gladstone shared a carriage ride with Duleep Singh, who was seeking sympathetic politicians to recruit to his cause of freeing India from British rule. Gladstone refused on the principle that the British Empire is more than capable of governing India than Singh and stated that once he becomes Prime Minister, their dominion will continue to endure.
