What is recorded here

Benjamin Bloomfield died in County Offaly, Ireland, on 15 August 1846, ending a life marked by royal service and military action. He had curbed King George IV's extravagant spending as Private Secretary, an act that provoked personal retaliation from Lady Conyngham and Sir William Knighton. His departure from the King's inner circle followed a humiliating reassignment during a Scottish trip, where rivals seized his responsibilities while he was pushed to the margins.
