Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Refimprove Denis Anthony Brian Butler, 9th Earl of Lanesborough (28 October 1918 – 21 December 1998), was an Anglo-Irish soldier, peer, and landowner. As well as Earl of Lanesborough, he was also 10th Viscount Lanesborough and 12th Baron Newtown-Butler.
Life
At the time of Lanesborough's birth, the family's Irish seat was Lanesborough Lodge, located on the Lanesborough estate at Quivvy, a townland just outside Belturbet, in County Cavan. The lodge and demesne were located on a small peninsula on the shores of Upper Lough Erne, directly opposite County Fermanagh. Lanesborough Lodge was burned to the ground in the early 1920s, and the Butler family sold the estate shortly afterwards.
The young Lanesborough was educated at Stowe School.[1]
He was commissioned into the Leicestershire Yeomanry and saw active service in the Second World War, rising to the rank of major.[2]
In 1950, Lanesborough inherited from his father, the 8th Earl, Swithland Hall and an estate of Шаблон:Convert. However, the death duties owed on the inheritance resulted in the sale of most of the estate.
He was appointed as a Justice of the Peace for Leicestershire and in 1962 as a Deputy Lieutenant of the county.[2]
Lord Lanesborough's hobby was 600-foot model railways, a replica of the Fort William-to-Carlisle line, with 300 pieces of rolling stocks which had to be dismantled with to reduce death duties.[1] Lanesborough eventually applied to British Rail for employment driving trains, which was declined; however, he was successful with his application to sell cars. After the death of his mother, The Dowager Countess of Lanesborough, he sold Swithland Hall and moved to Kegworth Lodge before health reasons resulted in his moving to Scotland.Шаблон:Citation needed

In 1950, Lanesborough divorced his first wife,[2] and in 1951 he organised a ball for the Canadian actress Yvonne de Carlo. In 1995, he married Patricia Julia Meston, daughter of F. W. Meston M.C., who had been his secretary for forty-five years.[1]
Lanesborough died on 27 December 1998 and his wife Patrica, Countess of Lanesborough, died on 5 March 2015.[3]
