Biography
Fitzmaurice was the second son of the third Marquess of Lansdowne and was educated at Westminster and Trinity College, Cambridge. After graduation, he entered the Commons as MP for Calne in 1837 and was also a Lord of the Treasury from 1847–48. In 1856, he was called up to the House of Lords in his father's barony of Wycombe and was Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs from that year until 1858. His elder brother had died in 1836 and on the death of their father in 1863, Lord Wycombe succeeded to his titles and was made a Knight of the Garter a year later.
On 18 August 1840, he had married Lady Georgiana Herbert (a daughter of the 11th Earl of Pembroke), but she died six months later. He then married Comtesse Emily de Flahault (the eldest daughter of Charles Joseph, comte de Flahaut and the 2nd Baroness Keith) on 1 November 1843 in Vienna and they had three children:
*Lady Emily Louisa Anne (d. 1939), married Col. Hon. Everard Digby, a son of the 9th Baron Digby and had issue.
*Henry Charles Keith, Earl of Shelburne (1845–1927)
*Lord Edmond George (1846–1935), later Baron Fitzmaurice.
Lord Lansdowne died in 1866 and his titles were inherited by his eldest son, Henry.
