He was the father of Prime Minister John Russell, 1st Earl Russell.[1] BackgroundBedford was a younger son of Francis Russell, Marquess of Tavistock, eldest son and heir of John Russell, 4th Duke of Bedford. His mother was Lady Elizabeth, youngest child of Willem van Keppel, 2nd Earl of Albemarle and Lady Anne Lennox.[2] Political careerLike most Russells, Bedford was a Whig in politics. He sat as Member of Parliament for Tavistock from 1788 to June 1790 and from December 1790 to 1802, when he was elevated to the Upper House on the death of his brother. He served as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland during the Whig government of 1806–1807. He became, as did many of his party who were strong followers of Bonapartism, opposed to the Peninsular War, believing that it neither could nor should be won. He funded, along with his son, many anti-war publications. Bedford was sworn of the Privy Council in 1806 and appointed a Knight of the Garter in 1830. FamilyBedford married firstly the Hon. Georgiana Byng, daughter of George Byng, 4th Viscount Torrington, in 1786. The marriage lasted 15 years and they had three sons:
There is evidence to suggest that Bedford also kept a mistress named Elizabeth Charlewood and had one child by her in 1797:
After Georgiana's early death in October 1801, Bedford married secondly Lady Georgiana, daughter of Alexander Gordon, 4th Duke of Gordon, in 1803.[3] They had ten children, including:
The Duchess of Bedford was a great patroness of the arts, and had a longstanding relationship with the painter Sir Edwin Landseer, a man twenty years her junior. The Bedfords' marriage was nevertheless considered to be a very happy one.[5] Bedford was succeeded by his eldest son from his first marriage, Francis. The Duchess of Bedford died in February 1853, aged 71.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}} {{botanist|J.Russell|Russell}}References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1754-1790/member/russell-lord-john-1766-1839|title=RUSSELL, Lord John (1766-1839).|publisher= History of Parliament Online|accessdate= 3 June 2016}} 2. ^According to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Russell was born on 20 September 1766. However, the following entry in the parish registers of St Giles in the Fields, "John Russell of Francis & Elizabeth marquis & marchioness of Tavistock", dated 2 August 1766 for his baptism, would put his birth earlier. 3. ^[https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/search_the_collection_database/term_details.aspx?bioId=74535 Biographical details: Georgiana, Duchess of Bedford], BritishMuseum.org; accessed 16 June 2015. 4. ^Lotnotes for this painting 5. ^Trethewey, Rachel.
