Edward Hussey-Montagu, 1st Earl Beaulieu

Edward Hussey-Montagu, 1st Earl Beaulieu, KB (1721 – 25 November 1802) was a British peer and politician.

Born Edward Hussey, he was the son of Irish parents, James Hussey and Catherine "née" Parsons (a daughter of the 1st Viscount Rosse). In 1743 he married Lady Isabella Montagu, a daughter of the 2nd Duke of Montagu and Lady Mary "née" Churchill (a daughter of the 1st Duke of Marlborough). In 1749 he legally changed his surname to Hussey-Montagu and was made a Knight Companion of the Bath in 1753.

From 1758 to 1762, he was Whig Member of Parliament for Tiverton and on his retirement was raised to the Peerage as Baron Beaulieu, of Beaulieu in the County of Southampton, and later Earl Beaulieu, of Beaulieu in the County of Southampton, in 1784. Upon his death in Dover Street (off Piccadilly) in 1802, his titles became extinct as his only son, John, Lord Montagu had died in 1787. He was buried on 14 December that year at Warkton, Northamptonshire.
