Alexander Wedderburn, 1st Earl of Rosslyn (Lord Loughborough)

(1733-1805), Lord Chancellor

Regency Portraits Catalogue Entry

Sitter associated with 33 portraits
Alexander Wedderburn came from a distinguished Scottish legal family; educated at Edinburgh, he practiced law there until he entered Parliament in 1761, sitting for the Scottish seat of Ayr Burghs. An ambitious lawyer, Wedderburn viewed his parliamentary interests as subservient to his advancement in the legal profession. He served as Solicitor General and Attorney General before receiving a peerage and an appointment as Chief Justice of Common Pleas. He was Lord Chancellor from 1793 to 1801.
