Edit Profile
Career
He served in the Army, transferring from the 87th Foot to the 58th Foot as a Captain in 1795, and being promoted to Major the next month and Lieutenant-Colonel later the same year. He also represented Cardigan in the House of Commons from 1796 to 1818. In 1820 he succeeded his half-brother in the earldom, but as this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords.
Lord Lisburne married Lucy, daughter of William Courtenay, 2nd Viscount Courtenay, in 1798.
