Charles Bertie (died 1730)

Charles Bertie (c.1678 – 12 April 1730) of Uffington, near Stamford, Lincolnshire was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1711 to 1727.

[1] Bertie became a freeholder of Northamptonshire in 1702 and took part in political activities supporting the county Tories under the guidance of his father.

His father died in 1711 and in the ensuing by-election on 2 April 1711 Bertie succeeded him as Member of Parliament for Stamford on the family interest.

He generally supported the Tories, but voted with his cousin, Lord Abingdon, against the French commerce bill in 1713.

At the 1727 election, his rival for political influence at Stamford, Lord Exeter, successfully ousted Bertie and returned his own candidates for both seats.
