Charles Petty-Fitzmaurice, 7. Marquess of Lansdowne

Charles Hope Petty-FitzMaurice, 7. Marquess of Lansdowne (* 9. Januar 1917; † 20. August 1944) war der 2. Sohn von Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, 6. Marquess of Lansdowne.

Leben und Karriere

Er absolvierte seine Ausbildung am Eton College und am Balliol College der Universität Oxford. Nach dem Tod seines Vaters erbte er 1936 dessen Titel Marquess of Lansdowne und zahlreiche weitere nachgeordnete Titel, darunter den eines „Baron of Kerry“.[1] Die mit dem Marquess-Titel verbundene Mitgliedschaft im House of Lords[2] konnte er erst mit Erreichen des 21. Lebensjahrs 1938 antreten. Sein Studium schloss er 1938 mit dem Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) ab.

Nach Abschluss seines Studiums trat er dem Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry-Regiment bei, in deren Reihen er am Zweiten Weltkrieg teilnahm und es bis zum Captain brachte. Er fiel am 20. August 1944 im Alter von 27 Jahren als Soldat in Italien[3] bei der Explosion seines Panzers.[4]

Lord Lansdowne war nicht verheiratet und hatte keine Kinder. Seine Titel gingen auf seinen Cousin George Petty-Fitzmaurice, 8. Marquess of Lansdowne über.
