Richard Seymour-Conway, 4th Marquess of Hertford
- Richard Seymour-Conway, 4th Marquess of Hertford
Captain Richard Seymour-Conway, 4th Marquess of Hertford KG (22 February 1800 – 25 August 1870) was the son of Francis Seymour-Conway, 3rd Marquess of Hertford.
Lord Hertford lived mostly in Paris, in a large apartment in the city and the Château de Bagatelle, a small country house in the Bois de Boulogne on the outskirts. His English houses were "Manchester House" in Manchester Square, London, now home to the Wallace Collection, and Ragley Hall, which still belongs to the family. He was an extremely important art collector, the founder of the Wallace Collection, named after his illegitimate son, Sir Richard Wallace, 1st Baronet to whom he left it and as much property as was not entailed.
He died in 1870, aged 70 in Paris, unmarried and without legitimate issue, and his titles passed to his distant cousin Francis Seymour.
