In 1797, Fancourt took command of HMS Agamemnon and became involved in the fleet mutinies when his ship was taken by the crew that May. He was still in command of Agamemnon in 1800, when he was sent to the Baltic to pressure Denmark into withdrawing from the League of Armed Neutrality. Although present at the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801, Fancourt took no active role; Agamemnon running aground in the very early stages. Fancourt advanced to the rank of rear-admiral on 28 April 1808 and vice-admiral on 12 August 1812, but he never went to sea again and died on 7 June 1826. (en)
