Historia
Lord John Russell was the third son of Lord John Russell (afterwards 6th Duke of Bedford) and his first wife Georgiana (nee Byng). He was born in Westminster and educated at Westminster School and the University of Edinburgh. In 1813 he entered Parliament as a Whig and was instrumental in carrying through the Reform Act (1832). He served in several cabinet posts and was Prime Minister twice (1846-1852, 1865-1866), the second time from the House of Lords, having been granted a peerage as Earl Russell in 1861. The philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) was his grandson.
