Sir Robert Burdett, 3rd Baronet

[3] He was oldest son of Sir Francis Burdett, 2nd Baronet and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Walter, some time a Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer.

[4] In 1659, he went to Queen's College, Oxford and then was called to the bar by Gray's Inn in 1662.

[4] Burdett entered the English House of Commons in 1679, sitting for Warwickshire in the next both years.

[2] In Parliament he spoke unsuccessfully against the attainder of Sir John Fenwick, 3rd Baronet, who was beheaded shortly afterwards.

[6] Robert, his only surviving son had predeceased him for two week and so the title was claimed by the former baronet's younger brother Walter.
