William Paget, 6th Baron Paget
William Paget, 6th Baron Paget (10 February 1637 – 26 February 1713) was an English peer and ambassador.
Paget was English ambassador to Vienna between 1689 and 1692. Appointed as ambassador to the Ottoman Empire at Constantinople in June 1692. The Royal Instructions arrived on September 5th, and he left England a week later. He travelled via Vienna, which he left on December 12th, arriving at Adrianople on January 30 1693. He finally reached Constantinople in July. Paget asked to be recalled in 1697, during which time he was central to the negotiation of the Treaty of Carlowitz between the Ottomans and the Habsburgs.〔(The Peerage.com )〕 His cousin, the poet Aaron Hill, visited him in Constantinople. He was finally brought home in May 1702.
Paget owned considerable estates in Staffordshire, particularly around Burton on Trent. In 1699, he obtained an Act of Parliament to extend navigation on the River Trent from Nottingham up to Burton, but nothing was immediately done. In 1711, Lord Paget leased his rights to George Hayne, who carried out improvements, quickly opening the river to Burton and stimulating the export of Burton Ale.〔(History of Burton from 'British History Online' )〕
