He is the ancestor of the present Dukes of Northumberland.
Background and education
Born Algernon Smithson in Mayfair, London,[2] he was the second son of Hugh Percy, 1st Duke of Northumberland, and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Seymour, only daughter of Algernon Seymour, 7th Duke of Somerset, whose mother was the heiress of the old Earls of Northumberland. He was the brother of prominent military officer Hugh Percy, 2nd Duke of Northumberland. He was educated at Eton College.[2]
Public life
In 1774, Percy was elected Member of Parliament for Northumberland. He was elected MP for both Northumberland and Bere Alston in 1780, and chose to continue sitting for Northumberland. In 1786, he left the Commons when he inherited his father's barony of Lovaine (a title which was created for his father with a special remainder to pass to Algernon as a second son). He was created Earl of Beverley, in the County of York, in 1790.[3][4]
He died on 21 October 1830, aged 80, at Le Mans, and was buried at St Marylebone Parish Church, Marylebone, London.[2]
