not a popular decision, and on 18 February Lord Carmarthen moved to protest against it, arguing that Germain's court martialling should disqualify him from becoming a peer. In the subsequent debate Germain argued that his court martial had been politically motivated, but FitzRoy intervened to disagree, saying that it had not been "animated by a factious spirit". Carmarthen made two attempts to stop Sackville being accepted into the Lords but failed in both. In the same year FitzRoy's role in the court of Queen Charlotte came to an end. Continuing on in the Lords after this, FitzRoy stayed neutral in the debates over the 1789 Regency Bill, speaking on it on 16 February of that year. He was promoted to general on 25 October 1793 and died at his home in Stanhope Street, London, on 21 March 1797. He was buried in St James's burial ground, Hampstead Road, on 30 March.
