(Henry) Robin Ian Russell, 14th Duke of Bedford DL (21 January 1940 – 13 June 2003) was a British peer, stockbroker and animal conservationist. He became well known to the public by appearing in three series of the BBC reality television programme Country House.^[1] During his childhood he was styled by the courtesy title Lord Howland, one of his grandfather's lesser titles, and from 1953 (following his father's inheritance of the dukedom) and for most of his adult life was styled by the courtesy title Marquess of Tavistock, his father's senior subsidiary title, and as he survived his father by only 7+1⁄2 months, he himself held the dukedom for that short period during 2002–2003.
