After an eventful ten-year tenure in which he greatly extended and regularised the nascent [[British Raj|Raj]] created by [[Robert Clive|Clive of India]], Hastings resigned in [[1784]]. On his return to England he was charged with high crimes and misdemeanours by [[Edmund Burke]], encouraged by Sir [[Philip Francis (English politician)|Philip Francis]] whom he had wounded in a duel in India. He was impeached in [[1787]] but the trial, which began in [[1788]], ended with his acquittal in [[1795]]. Hastings spent most of his fortune on his defence, although towards the end of the trial the East India Company did provide financial support.
