Biographical history
Hon. Edward Stanhope was born on September 24, 1840, in London, England.
He was a politician. He was educated at Harrow and Christ Church, Oxford, where he studied law and was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1865. In 1874, Stanhope was elected to the House of Commons for Mid Lincolnshire, a seat he held until 1885, and then represented Horncastle until his death. In 1875, he became Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade, and in 1878, he moved up to Under-Secretary of State for India. He became vice-president of the Committee of Council on Education, with a seat in the cabinet, and shortly after President of the Board of Trade. He moved up to major cabinet office, serving first as Colonial Secretary from 1886 to 1887 and then as Secretary of State for War from 1887 to 1892 in the cabinet of Lord Salisbury.
In 1870, he married Lucy Constance Egerton (1847-1907). He died of a heart attack on December 21, 1893, in Sevenoaks, Kent, England.
