Historia
Henry George Grey was born in Northumberland and educated privately and at Trinity College, Cambridge. He first entered parliament in 1826 and was successively MP for Winchelsea (Sussex), Higham Ferrers (Northamptonshire), Northumberland, and Sunderland. On his father's death in 1845, he entered the House of Lords as Earl Grey. He served as colonial secretary from 1846 until 1852. Grey was known as a supporter of free trade and continued to take a strong interest in British and colonial public affairs after leaving office. His nephew Albert succeded him as Earl Grey on his death in 1894.
