George Hervey, 2nd Earl of Bristol
- George Hervey, 2nd Earl of Bristol
George William Hervey, 2nd Earl of Bristol (August 31, 1721 – March 18? or 20?, 1775), the eldest son of The Lord Hervey, by his marriage with Mary (1706-1768), daughter of Nicholas Lepell.
He served for some years in the army, and in 1755 was sent to Turin as envoy extraordinary. He was ambassador at Madrid from 1758 to 1761, filling a difficult position with credit and dignity, and ranked among the followers of Pitt.
Appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1766, he never visited that country during his short tenure of this office, and, after having served for a short time as keeper of the Privy Seal, became groom of the stole to George III in January 1770. He died unmarried, and was succeeded by his brother.
