Disraeli

Coningsby Ralph Disraeli (25 February 1867 – 30 September 1936), was a British Conservative politician.

Life[]

Born in Kensington, London, Disraeli was the son of Ralph Disraeli (1809–1898), third (and second surviving) son of the writer Isaac D'Israeli). He was educated at Charterhouse School and New College, Oxford. The Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli was his uncle, whose Hughenden Manor estate he inherited on his death in 1881.[1]

Disraeli was an officer in the Buckinghamshire Yeomanry, where he was commissioned a Second lieutenant on 18 April 1900, and promoted to Lieutenant on 11 June 1902.[2]

He entered Parliament for Altrincham in the 1892 general election, a seat he held until 1906, when he was defeated in the general election of that year.[3]

He died without issue in Hove, East Sussex, in September 1936, aged 69. Hughenden was sold, and eventually acquired by the National Trust in 1949.[4]
