Charles Stuart, 1st Baron Stuart de Rothesay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Stuart, 1st Baron Stuart de Rothesay (2 January 1779–6 November 1845) was a British diplomat, the son of Lt.-Gen. Hon. Sir Charles Crichton-Stuart (himself a son of the 3rd Earl of Bute).

On 6 February 1818 he married Elizabeth Margaret Yorke, a daughter of the 3rd Earl of Hardwicke and they had two children:

• Charlotte Stuart (1817–1861)
• Louisa Stuart (d. 1891)

Stuart served twice as British Ambassador to France in the years after the Napoleonic Wars. He was created Baron Stuart de Rothesay on 22 January 1828, at the time of his second appointment to Paris. He did not have any male heirs, however, and the title became extinct upon his death.
