Military career
FitzClarence was commissioned as an officer in the British Army in 1814.[1] While a captain in the Coldstream Guards, FitzClarence commanded a small detachment of Guards to act in support of the police with the arrest of the Cato Street conspirators in 1820.[1] The arrest was not straightforward, and a scuffle ensued.[2]
Frederick FitzClarence gained the rank of Colonel in the service of the
Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth and General Officer Commanding South-West District in 1847,[3] and then Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay Army in 1852.[4] He died in office in October 1854.[1]
