Early life

Arthur Bertie was the second son of Montagu Bertie, 7th Earl of Abingdon. Richard Bertie inherited the earldoms in 1963 from a distant cousin Montague Bertie, 12th Earl of Lindsey.[3]

Bertie did his national service with the Royal Norfolk Regiment, becoming a second lieutenant on 6 February 1952 with seniority from 3 February 1951.[4] On 25 July 1952, he was given the acting rank of lieutenant,[5] and the promotion was made substantive on 28 June 1954 with seniority from the date of his acting rank.[6] Bertie was transferred to the Regular Army Reserve from the Army Emergency Reserve on 24 September 1957.[7]
Between 1958 and 1996, he was a Lloyd's broker. In 1963, he succeeded his half-cousin as Earl of Lindsey and Abingdon and hereditary High Steward of Abingdon[8] and joined the House of Lords.[1]
Personal life
In 1957, Bertie married Norah Elizabeth Farquhar-Oliver, a descendant of the Farquhar baronets and great-granddaughter of John Hely-Hutchinson, 5th Earl of Donoughmore. Together, they were the parents of two sons and a daughter:[2]
