Biography

Montagu Henry Edmund Cecil Towneley-Bertie, 13th Earl of Lindsey and 8th Earl of Abingdon (2 November 1887 – 11 September 1963), styled Lord Norreys between 1919 and 1928 and known as The 8th Earl of Abingdon from 1928 onwards, was an English peer.

Background

Towneley-Bertie was the son of Montagu Charles Francis Towneley-Bertie, Lord Norreys and the Honourable Rose Riversdale Glyn. His father died in 1919, during his grandfather's lifetime, and Towneley-Bertie was thereafter styled Lord Norreys until he succeeded his grandfather, Montagu Bertie, 7th Earl of Abingdon, as Earl of Abingdon on 10 March 1928.

Career

He was a family trustee of the British Museum, and High Steward of Abingdon. Upon the death on 2 January 1938 of his kinsman, Montague Bertie, 12th Earl of Lindsey, a fifth cousin thrice removed, he succeeded as 13th Earl of Lindsey. On his death in 1963 he was succeeded in his titles by his half-cousin, Richard Bertie, 14th Earl of Lindsey.

He was on the governing body of Abingdon School from 1928-1949 and was the Chairman of the Governors from 1935-1937.

Family

He married Elizabeth ('Bettine') Valetta Montagu-Stuart-Wortley, daughter of Major-General the Hon. Edward James Montagu-Stuart-Wortley and Violet Hunter Guthrie, on 11 August 1928. The marriage produced no children. When the Countess died in 1978, she left all her possessions- with a value of over £1.5 million- to her lifelong friend, Joyce, the wife of BBC television news editor Tahu Hole. They were later bequeathed to the Victoria and Albert Museum. The couple are buried in Brookwood Cemetery.
