Thomas Carte (1686–1754) was a British historian and antiquary best known for his comprehensive work on the life of James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde, titled "The Life of James, Duke of Ormond." The Duke of Ormonde, James Butler, was a significant figure in 17th-century Irish and English politics. He was a leading statesman and military commander during the tumultuous period of the English Civil War, the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, and the Glorious Revolution.Carte's biography of the Duke of Ormonde, published in 1736, is considered one of the most authoritative works on Ormonde's life and career. It provides a detailed account of Ormonde's political maneuvers, military campaigns, and personal life, drawing upon extensive archival research and contemporary sources.Carte's work is highly regarded for its thoroughness and attention to detail, offering valuable insights into the political and military history of England and Ireland during the 17th century. While Carte's biography of Ormonde remains a significant scholarly resource, it's worth noting that his work reflects the perspectives and biases common to historical writing of his time.
