  Earls and dukes of Bedford - LoveToKnow 1911
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 Mary's reign.
Bedford was hostile to John Wilkes, and narrowly escaped from a mob favourable to the agitator at Honiton in July 1769.

This sudden death made Lord John Russell the 6th Duke of Bedford; the sudden responsibilities only six months after his wife's death caused an instability in which he refuted the Duchess of Gordon's announcement that there had been a private engagement between Georgiana and his deceased brother.
Duchess Georgiana was a kind and attentive stepmother to John's three sons, but the devious traits in her character, no doubt inherited from her own mother, made them mistrust her once they had grown up.
