Baron Ampthill

Baron Ampthill

Baron Ampthill, of Ampthill in the County of Bedford, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 11 March 1881 for the diplomat Sir Odo Russell. He was the third son of Major-General Lord George Russell, second son of John Russell, 6th Duke of Bedford. His son, the second Baron, served as Governor of Madras from 1899 to 1906 and was interim Viceroy of India in 1904. As of 2007 the title is held by the latter's grandson, the fourth Baron, who succeeded his father in 1973. He is one of the ninety elected hereditary peers that remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999, and sits as a cross-bencher. As a descendant of the sixth Duke of Bedford he is also in remainder to this peerage and its subsidiary titles.
