Biographical history
David Lloyd George, 1st Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfor, was born on January 17, 1863, in Manchester, England.
He was a British Liberal politician. After the death of his father in 1864, his mother moved in with her brother Richard Lloyd (1834–1917), a shoemaker, Baptist minister, and a strong Liberal who supported them. Lloyd George's uncle had a great influence on him, encouraging him to take up a career in law and enter politics. He embarked on the career of a solicitor and became articled in 1879 to a firm at Portmadoc, passing his final examination in 1884. Lloyd George entered Parliament in 1890, winning a by-election at Caernarvon Boroughs, the seat he retained for 55 years. He became President of the Board of Trade in 1905, Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1908, First Minister of Munitions in 1915, and Secretary of State for War in 1916. In 1916, he was elected Prime Minister, a post he held until 1922. From 1926 to 1931, he served as the Leader of the Liberal Party and from 1931 to 1935, as the Leader of the Independent Liberals. Just two months before his death in 1945, he was elevated to the peerage as Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfor. He was the author of the books "War Memoirs" (1933–36) and "The Truth About the Peace Treaties" (1938).
In 1888, he married Margaret Owen (1864–1941), and in 1943, he remarried Frances Louise Stevenson (1888–1972). He died on March 26, 1945, in Llanystumdwy, Caernarvonshire, Wales.
