Charles Manners-Sutton (17 February 1755 – 21 July 1828; called Charles Manners before 1762) was a bishop in the Church of England who served as Archbishop of Canterbury from 1805 to 1828.

Life

Manners-Sutton was the fourth son of Lord George Manners-Sutton (third son of John Manners, 3rd Duke of Rutland) and his wife Diana Chaplin, daughter of Thomas Chaplin. His younger brother was Thomas Manners-Sutton, 1st Baron Manners, Lord Chancellor of Ireland. His father, Lord George, had assumed the additional surname of Sutton in 1762 on inheriting – from his elder brother Lord Robert – the estates of their maternal grandfather Robert Sutton, 2nd Baron Lexinton.

Manners-Sutton was educated at Charterhouse School and Emmanuel College, Cambridge (matriculated 1773, graduated B.A. as 15th wrangler 1777, M.A. 1780, D.D. 1792).

He married at age 23, and probably eloped with, his cousin Mary Thoroton, daughter of Thomas Thoroton and his wife Mary (Levett) Thoroton of Screveton Hall, Nottinghamshire, in 1778. (Col. Thomas Blackborne Thoroton later moved to Flintham Hall, Flintham, near Screveton, Nottinghamshire. He was later known as Thomas Thoroton Hildyard. Both Thoroton and his stepbrother Levett Blackborne, Esq., a Lincoln’s Inn barrister, had long acted as advisers to John Manners, 3rd Duke of Rutland, and Col. Thoroton was often resided at Belvoir Castle, the ancestral seat of the Dukes of Rutland.)

In 1785, Manners-Sutton was appointed to the family living at Averham with Kelham, in Nottinghamshire, and in 1791, became Dean of Peterborough. He was consecrated Bishop of Norwich in 1792, and two years later received the appointment of Dean of Windsor in commendam.

Archbishop of Canterbury

In 1805 he was chosen to succeed John Moore as Archbishop of Canterbury. During his primacy the old archiepiscopal palace at Croydon was sold and the country palace of Addington bought with the proceeds. He presided over the first meeting which issued in the foundation of the National Society, and subsequently lent the scheme his strong support. He also exerted himself to promote the establishment of the Indian episcopate. As Archbishop of Canterbury, Manners-Sutton appointed his cousin, Evelyn Levett Sutton, a chaplain to Lord Manners, as one of six preachers of Canterbury Cathedral in 1811.

In 1819, he presided over the christening of the future Queen Victoria at Kensington Palace.

He died at Lambeth on 21 July 1828, and was buried 29 July at Addington, in a family vault.

Works

His only published works are two sermons, one preached before the Lords (London, 1794), the other before the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (London, 1797).

Family

In 1778 he married Mary, daughter of Thomas Thoroton of Screveton, Nottinghamshire, by whom he had a family of two sons and ten daughters.

His son Charles Manners-Sutton served as Speaker of the House of Commons and was created Viscount Canterbury in 1835.
His grandson Henry Manners Chichester by his daughter Isabella was a prolific contributor to the Dictionary of National Biography.

The very first wrestling match he ever saw was in 1974 and featured Chief Jay Strongbow. He played baseball and basketball at Nashua South High School.

He graduated from high school in 1987 and continued entering bodybuilding competitions. In 1988 he won the Mr. Teenage New Hampshire competition. He was 19. He worked as the manager of a gym in Nashua where he met world champion Ted Arcidid who was, as it turned out, working for the WWE at the time. Triple H convinced him to introduce him to Killer Kowalski, a former wrestler who was at that time running a pro wrestling school in Massachusetts. In 1992, Levesque moved to Malden, Massachusetts to enroll at Killer Kowalski’s school. His classmates included future WWF legend, Chyna. Career: Triple H made his professional in the ring debut in 1992 against Flying Tony Roy, under the name Terra Ryzing.

He was asked to speak with a French accent as part of his character’s schtick. Levesque met with Vince McMahon to discuss jumping to his league, but McMahon wasn’t interested in Levesque at that time. However, not long after McMahon watched Levesque’s match at Starrcade, he was suitably impressed to make him an offer and Levesque left for the WWE in January 1995. Triple H made his WWE debut as Hunter Hearst Helmsley. He appeared in taped vignettes, talking about how to use proper etiquette. Helmsley made his WWF pay-per-view debut at SummerSlam, where he defeated Bob Holly.

Triple H has headlined several major WWE pay-per-view events, including closing the company’s flagship annual event, WrestleMania, seven times (tied for the most with Hulk Hogan).

The group was pushed on Raw from 2003 to 2004 and the height of their dominance occurred after Armageddon, where every member of Evolution left the pay-per-view holding a title. Triple H held the World Heavyweight Championship for most of 2003, successfully defending against Booker T at WrestleMania XIX in an angle with racist undertones.
