Robert and Margaret were married at St Mary’s Church, Madras, India on 18th February 1753. Robert was the eldest son of Richard Clive, of Styche Hall, near Market Drayton, Shropshire and his wife, Rebecca Gaskell, whilst Margaret was the only daughter of Edmund Maskelyne, of Purton, Wiltshire and his wife, Elizabeth Booth. After the marriage they returned to England, and Clive was elected briefly as a Member of Parliament, but was unseated on petition by the defeated candidates. He returned to India in July 1755, working for the East India Company, and established the Company’s rule in Bengal after victory at the Battle of Plassey in 1757. He became the first British Governor of the Presidency of Fort George (otherwise known as the Bengal Presidency) in 1757, a post he held until 1760. During this time, he amassed a great fortune of £180,000 (around £25,700,000 today). On his return to England, he obtained an Irish peerage as Baron Clive of Plassey, County Clare. He was elected as the Member of Parliament for Shrewsbury in 1761, a seat he held until his death, and was also elected as the Mayor of Shrewsbury for the year 1762 – 63. He was appointed a Knight of the Bath (KB) in 1764.In 1765, Clive was asked by the East India Company to return to India to rectify the maladministration of the Company’s affairs there since his absence. He developed a strong administration led by civil servants that reduced corruption, and also set about a reorganisation of the army. At that time, the Bengal Army was a private army of the Bengal Presidency owned by the East India Company and as a result, Robert Clive became the Commander-in-Chief of all British forces in India, earning the nickname 'Clive of India'.He retired and left India in 1769, briefly settling in the South of France, before acquiring his country house and estate, Claremont, near Esher, Surrey. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society and served as the Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire (1772 –74) and Montgomeryshire (1773 -74).
