Frederick Conyngham, 7th Marquess Conyngham

Frederick William Henry Francis Conyngham, 7th Marquess Conyngham (13 March 1924 – 3 March 2009), known among friends and family as "Mount", was an Irish nobleman, landowner and soldier, who was styled Earl of Mount Charles until 1974.

The elder son of Frederick Conyngham, 6th Marquess Conyngham, Conyngham was educated at Eton before being commissioned in the Irish Guards. He served with distinction during World War II in Africa and Europe (mentioned in despatches). He left the British Army in 1945 with the rank of Captain.

Descended from a prominent landowning family of Co. Meath and Donegal, Conyngham built a reputation as a conservationist. A talented sportsman, golf and angling were among his favourite pursuits.

After succeeding to the family titles in 1974 he took his seat in the House of Lords.

In 1976, he left Ireland to live in the Isle of Man, although he continued to visit his son at Slane Castle. He fell ill with cancer in late 2008 and died six months later on a visit to Johannesburg.
