BiographyByng was the second son of George Byng, 2nd Earl of Strafford and his first wife, Agnes. From 1840 he was a Page of Honour to Queen Victoria and joined the Coldstream Guards in 1847 as a Lieutenant. In 1854, he was promoted to Captain, by purchase, appointed an Adjutant later that year and a Supernumerary Major in 1865. In 1872, Byng was made a Groom-in-Waiting and then an Equerry two years later. In 1895, he was appointed a CB and knighted KCVO in 1897. In 1898, he inherited his elder brother's titles. Byng was killed by an express train at Potters Bar railway station. Witnesses said he appeared to step in front of the approaching engine from the bottom of the slope at the end of the platform. His body was carried 50 yards down the track.[1] A coroner's court was later told he had the nervous condition of catalepsy. The inquest jury – after considering several verdicts including suicide – returned a finding of death by misadventure.[1] As his sons predeceased him{{efn|Eldest son George was drowned at sea in 1893 between Naples and Gibraltar from the RMS Ophir, second son John died the following year aged 23 in Paris of typhoid.}} the titles passed to his brother, Francis. FamilyOn 15 October 1863, Byng married Countess Henrietta Louisa Elizabeth Danneskiold-Samsøe (a maternal granddaughter of the 1st Marquess of Ailesbury) and they had four children:
After his wife's death in 1880, Byng married on 6 December 1898 Cora Colgate née Smith (a wealthy American widow), but they did not have any children. Byng had been buried in a family vault in the churchyard of St John's Potter's Bar with his first wife, the church had become disused and prone to vandalism so the bodies were exhumed in 1935 and moved to a mausoleum at the nearby family estate of Wrotham Park.[2] Notes{{notelist}}References1. ^1 {{Cite newspaper The Times |articlename=The Death of Lord Strafford |day_of_week=Friday |date=19 May 1899 |page_number=8 |issue=35833 |column= }} {{s-start}}{{s-court}}{{succession box | title=Page of Honour | before=George Cavendish | after=Alfred Crofton | years=1840–1847}}{{succession box | title=Groom-in-Waiting | before=Henry Gardiner | after=John Campbell | years=1872–1874}}{{succession box | title=Equerry | before=The Lord de Ros | after=John Brocklehurst | years=1874–1899}}{{s-reg|uk}}{{succession box | title=Earl of Strafford | before=George Byng | after=Francis Byng | years=1898–1899}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Strafford, Henry Byng, 4th Earl of}}2. ^{{cite news|newspaper=Dundee Courier|date=9 August 1935|page=5|title=Exhumation of Earl and Wife}} 10 : Companions of the Order of the Bath|Deaths by decapitation|Coldstream Guards officers|Earls in the Peerage of the United Kingdom|Knights Commander of the Royal Victorian Order|1831 births|1899 deaths|Railway accident deaths in England|Accidental deaths in England|Byng family |
