About Nicholas Russell, 6th Earl Russell
Nicholas Lyulph Russell, 6th Earl Russell (12 September 1968 – 17 August 2014), styled Viscount Amberley between 1987 and 2004, was the elder son of Conrad Russell, 5th Earl Russell and Elizabeth Russell (formerly Elizabeth Sanders). He succeeded to the Earldom of Russell on his father's death on 14 October 2004. Like his grandfather, Bertrand Russell, he was an active member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, from his teenage years until his death. By the House of Lords Act 1999, all but 92 hereditary peers were removed from the House of Lords – the abolition of which Russell advocated so he did not sit in the Lords.
