Richard Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, 1st Duke of Buckingham and Chandos KG, PC (20 March 1776 – 17 January 1839), was the son and successor of George Nugent-Temple-Grenville, 1st Marquess of Buckingham and the grandson of prime minister George Grenville. On April 16, 1796, he married Lady Anne Brydges, daughter of James Brydges, 3rd Duke of Chandos, by whom he had one son:
He was MP for Buckinghamshire 1797–1813 . He inserted "-Brydges-Chandos-" into his name by Royal Warrant in 1799. In 1806, he was made a Privy Counsellor , and in 1820, a Knight of the Garter. He was created Duke of Buckingham and Chandos in 1822, his wife being only daughter of the 3rd Duke of Chandos; he was in the same patent created Earl Temple of Stowe, with special remainder, which thus survived the extinction of the Dukedom in 1889.
