Background

Born at Dover Street, he was the eldest son of Montagu Bertie, 5th Earl of Abingdon and his first wife Emily Gage, fifth daughter of General Hon. Thomas Gage.[1] Bertie was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a Master of Arts in 1829.[2] In 1834, he received a Doctorate of Civil Law by the University of Oxford.[1]

Career

In 1830, he became Member of Parliament (MP) for Oxfordshire and held the seat for almost a year. In 1832, the representation for the constituency was increased to three members and Bertie was re-elected that year to complement his successors. He was then elected MP for Abingdon in 1852 and on succeeding to his father's title and leaving the British House of Commons two years later, he became Lord Lieutenant of Berkshire.

On 7 January 1835, he married Elizabeth Harcourt, the only daughter of his fellow MP, George Granville Harcourt at Nuneham Courtenay. They lived at Wytham Abbey in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire) and had nine children:[3]
