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.
