  BEDFORD - LoveToKnow Article on BEDFORD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Russell was lord high steward and keeper of the privy seal, and the defeat which he inflicted on the rebels at Clyst St Mary near Exeter in August 1549, was largely instrumental in suppressing the rising in Devonshire.
Russell was in sympathy with the reformers, whose opinions he shared, and was in communication with Sir Thomas Wyat; and in consequence of his religious attitude was imprisoned during the earlier part of Marys reign.
Bedford was hostile to John Wilkes, and narrowly escaped from a mob favorable to the agitator at Honiton in July 1769.

Russell's contributions to logic, epistemology, and the philosophy of mathematics established him as one of the foremost philosophers of the 20th century.
From an early date, Russell enunciated this viewpoint, finding in the techniques of symbolic logic a measure of reassurance that philosophy might be put on a new foundation.

 William RUSSELL (1° B. Russell of Thornhaugh)
Russell continued to add to his lands, the principal acquisitions being the lordships of Chenies, Buckinghamshire, and Tuddington in Northamptonshire, which passed to him upon the death of his brother Edward, and the manor of Northaw in Hertfordshire which he acquired from his sister, the Countess of Warwick.
For a younger son of the puritan 2nd Earl of Bedford, and one who later came under the influence of the Calvinist Dr. Humphrey of Magdalen, the life of a country gentleman was inadequate.
Russell took over from Sidney not only his best gilt armour, but also the governorship of Flushing, and thereafter his attention was engrossed by the task of maintaining the town and garrison in good order.

Scottish earls such as Mar and Kinloss and English advisors such as Salisbury and Northampton were the core of James's kingship and the insurers of his safety, and James appears to have treated them appropriately.
The earl's own wild personality may have plunged those around him into a confrontation that finally had to be defined as "treason," but it was personal loyalty and family ties, not a political platform, which gave coherence (such as there was) to this collection of rebellious nobles.
The earl of Southampton has written to 30 James an earnest letter for a warrant of his liberty immediately upon 24 Queen Elizabeth's death, which 30 refuses to grant without consent and authority of the Privy Council, and what they advise him to do shall be performed with diligence.
