Question

What title was Francis Bacon given in 1618?

• A. Viscount of Cambridge
• B. Baron Bacon
• C. Viscount St. Alban
• D. Lord Chancellor of Oxford

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Viscount St. Alban

• He had already been made Baron Verulam in 1618.

• Later that same year, he was elevated to Viscount St. Alban.

• These honors marked the peak of his political success under King James I — though things would take a downturn soon after due to charges of corruption.
