In the summer, Nicholas married a wealthy widow, and was able to follow the dictates of his conscience by refusing the oaths to William III. For some years he lived in great style, but the marriage broke up after he had spoiled and wasted the Wootton estate, pawned the Monoux family plate and sold his wife’s jewellery, or so his step-son, Sir Philip Monoux alleged. He was at St. Germains in 1702, when he was sworn of the Old Pretender’s Household, but he must have returned to England before his death on 11 Mar. 1716, as he was buried at Aldbourne four days later. He was the only member of the family to sit in Parliament.
