Historique
Francis Burdett was born Derbyshire in 1770. He was educated at Westminster School and at Christ Church Oxford. He married Sophia Coutts, daughter of the banker Thomas Coutts, in 1793 and succeeded to the baronetcy in 1797. Burdett entered parliament as MP for Boroughbridge, Yorkshire, in 1796 and later served as MP for Westminster. As a serving politician he was committed to parliamentary reform and radical causes and was once briefly imprisoned for breach of parliamentary privilege.
