ActivityGeorge Montagu, 6th Earl of Sandwich (1773-1818) was a Tory MP representing the Huntingdonshire seat his family controlled for two decades, however unlike his father and to a much greater extent his grandfather, he never made enough of an impression to be promoted to any national offices. This may be in part because of his premature death and the fact that his father was not as powerful an advocate on his behalf as the 4th Earl had been for him. His somewhat unimpressive record of attendance in the House of Commons likely also had an impact on his limited advancement, though the fact that he took offices in Huntingdonshire may also indicate that his political interests were closer to home. His visits to France in 1802 and Italy in 1818 suggest that travel was an interest of his. Henrietta Ponsonby, Countess of Bessborough (1761-1821) remarked of him in 1798 that: ‘He is what is generally reckoned remarkably clever—very reserved, and seldom speaking but en epigramme, and then sparing neither friend nor foe in the severe but certainly clever sarcasms he deals about him’.
