Albemarle Bertie (MP)

Albemarle Bertie (c. 1668–1742) was the fifth son of Robert Bertie, 3rd Earl of Lindsey and his wife Elizabeth Wharton.

Bertie successfully contested Lincolnshire for the Whigs in 1705. He represented that county until 1708, when he stood down to make way for his nephew, Lord Willoughby de Eresby. He was returned instead for Cockermouth on the interest of his uncle, the 1st Earl of Wharton, which he represented until 1710. He was probably the candidate put up by the Wharton interest at Appleby in 1710, who withdrew before the poll expressing a desire to sit no longer in Parliament.

He stood for Lincolnshire again in a 1721 by-election but was defeated. He was returned for Boston by his nephew, now the 2nd Duke of Ancaster and Kesteven, but stood down again in 1741 and died the following year.
