Clive's uncertain reputation was neatly encapsulated in Thomas Macaulay's famous description of him: “Clive, like most men who are born with strong passions and tried by strong temptations, committed great faults, but every person who takes a fair and enlightened view of his whole career must admit that our island, so fertile in heroes and statesmen, has scarcely ever produced a man more truly great either in arms or in council.”Given Clive of India's inclination for political machination, his ownership of this first-hand account by the Catholic perjuror Miles Prance, who became embroiled in the infamous but fictitious Popish Plot conspiracy to assassinate King Charles II, is unsurprising. On the news of the death of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey in 1678, Miles Prance became an object of suspicion. Imprisoned in Newgate, Prance confessed and recanted several times, resulting in the execution of Henry Berry, Robert Green, and Lawrence Hill for the murder. It is likely the three men executed were innocent.
