After Fox’s death in 1806, the legacy of Foxite radicalism continued to shape the political landscape, although without Fox himself, the future of the Foxites was uncertain. The radical strains of plebeian and popular support, long associated with Fox’s leadership, resurfaced strongly, particularly in Westminster, where Fox had held significant popular appeal. The Foxites’ challenge in the aftermath of Fox’s death was not just about replacing a leader; it was about preserving the identity and unity of a faction that had been defined by Fox's personality and politics (The strains of revolutionary and republican radicalismradicalism were also still prevalent). Fox’s death left a void that few were equipped to fill.
