Richard Lumley, 2nd Earl of Scarbrough

[4] He wished to serve in the army, and though not given a commission, he joined the Duke of Marlborough for the campaign in the spring and summer of 1709.

He succeeded his recently deceased, elder brother as MP for Arundel at the 1710 British general election.

He told against a Court amendment to the Address on 10 April 1713, and voted on against the French commerce bill on 18 June 1713.

He remained a Whig supporter in the House of Lords, but in 1717 he was forced to sell his regiment for his adherence to the Prince of Wales.

At the time of his death it was rumoured to have been brought on by a mental disorder he developed from a knock on the head when he had an accident in his carriage a few days before.

[5] Lord Scarbrough was buried on 4 February 1740 in the Grosvenor Chapel in South Audley Street, Mayfair.
