Charles Lennox, 5th Duke of Richmond

Charles Lennox, 5th Duke of Richmond and Lennox (3 August 1791 - 21 October 1860) was an English politician and a prominent Conservative. He served on Wellington's staff in the Peninsular War (styled as the Earl of March), being at the same time Member of Parliament for Chichester. He was afterwards a vehement opponent in the House of Lords of Roman Catholic emancipation, and at a later date a leader of the opposition to Peel's free trade policy. In 1836, on inheriting the estates of his maternal uncle , the fifth and last Duke of Gordon, he assumed the name of Gordon before that of Lennox.
