Robin Russell, 14th Duke of Bedford
Henry Robin Ian Russell, 14th Duke of Bedford (January 21, 1940 - June 13, 2003), known before 2002 by the courtesy title Marquess of Tavistock, became better known to the public than most of his ancestors by appearing in a television series.
The Duke of Bedford was educated at Institute Le Rosey in Switzerland. He suffered a severe stroke in his early 50's, leading to a diffident nature over his last ten years. With his wife, Henrietta, he appeared in the BBC series "Country House", detailing the life at Woburn Abbey, the Bedfords' ancestral home in Bedfordshire, England. He succeeded his father to the dukedom in 2002, but passed away after another stroke in 2003. He had already handed over control of Woburn Abbey to his son in 2001.
