 | | Born in Bury, Lancashire to an industrialist and British Member of Parliament also named Robert Peel, and educated at Christ Church, Oxford, the younger Peel entered politics at the young age of 21 as MP for the Irish rotten borough of Cashel City, Tipperary. |
 | | Peel felt compelled to resign his seat at Oxford, as what had made him attractive to that constituency in the first place was his opposition to it (in 1815 he had, in fact, challenged to a duel the man most associated with emancipation, Daniel O'Connell). |
 | | Peel was thrown from his horse while riding up Constitution Hill in London on June 29, 1850, and died three days later at the age of 62. |
