Charles Trevelyan, 1899

Sir Charles Philips Trevelyan, 3rd Baronet PC ( October 28, 1870 - January 24, 1958 ) was a British nobleman and politician.

Live and act

Trevelyan was born in 1870 as the eldest son of Sir George Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet and his wife Caroline Philipps. His youngest brother was the historian GM Trevelyan . On the death of his father in 1928 he inherited the title of nobility Baronet , of Wallington in the County of Northumberland, created in 1874 .

In 1899, Trevelyan was elected to the lower house of the British Parliament in a by-election for the constituency of Elland in Yorkshire . His seat in the House of Commons for Yorkshire he was able to hold until the general election of December 1918, in which he ran unsuccessfully for the Independent Labor Party as a result of the split in the Liberal Party in two wings around the former Prime Minister Asquith and his successor David Lloyd George .

In 1922 Trevelyan managed to return to the House of Commons as a member of the Newcastle Central constituency, now a regular candidate for the Labor Party . After his mandate was extended twice in the elections of 1924 and 1929, he left parliament in 1931.

In 1939 Trevelyan, like Stafford Cripps and Aneurin Bevan , was temporarily excluded from the Labor Party after he had campaigned publicly for the formation of a popular front including the Communists against German National Socialism .

The high offices that Trevelyan achieved included the office of Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Education (1908-1914), the Office of Education Minister in the second MacDonald government (June 1929 to March 1931) and the office of Lord Lieutenant of Northumberland 1930 to 1949.

Family and offspring

Trevelyan's marriage to Marie Katherine Bell, daughter of Sir Thomas Bell, 2nd Baronet, had six children, including the firstborn George Lowthian Trevelyan , whom he disinherited.
