Biography

Edward Henry Rich was born in 1698. He was baptised on 6th February 1698 at St. James Church, Westminster, London. On his father's death in 1701 when he was only 3 years of age, he became the 7th Earl of Warwick and 4th Earl of Holland. His mother, Charlotte Dowager-Countess of Warwick engaged Joseph Addison, the famous playwright and author as his tutor. Charlotte subsequently married Joseph Addison making him Edward's step-father. Writers argue whether Edward and his step-father liked or loathed one another.

Edward died at the tragically young age of 23 and was buried on 27th August 1721 in Kensington, London. Having had no children, his titles passed to his cousin,
