What is recorded here
Charles Howard-Bury was born at Charleville Castle in 1881, the only son of a captain who absorbed a new surname the moment his wife inherited ancient estates. That sudden marriage of blood and property likely explained why he spent his life crossing borders, climbing roofs of the world and forcing unknown regions to reveal themselves.
Why this person is known: British soldier, explorer, botanist and Conservative politician (1883-1963)
