  Lord William Russell - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
LORD WILLIAM RUSSELL (1639-1683), English politician, was the third son of the 1st duke of Bedford and was born on the 29th of September 1639.
Evidence was given by an informer that, while at Shaftesbury's hiding-place in Wapping, Russell had joined in the proposal to seize the king's guard, a charge indignantly denied by him in his farewell paper, and that he was one of a committee of six appointed to prepare the scheme for an insurrection.
Russell spoke with spirit and dignity in his own defence, and, in especial, vehemently denied that he had ever been party to a design so wicked and so foolish as those of the murder of the king and of rebellion.
