简体中文 Henry Bathurst, 3rd Earl Bathurst, English politician (d. 1834)
Henry Bathurst, 3rd Earl Bathurst, (22 May 1762 – 27 July 1834) was a High Tory, High Church Pittite. He was an MP for thirty years before ennoblement. If rather dull, and an indifferent speaker in debates, he was a competent administrator, and he remained intensely loyal and at the centre of government for longer than all his contemporaries. A personal friend of William Pitt the Younger, he became a broker of deals across cabinet factions during the Napoleonic era. After the Napoleonic Wars, Bathurst was on the 'conservative' wing of the Tory party.
