Bertrand Russell: Difference between revisions

* [[Raised by Grandparents]]: His father and mother died young, leaving him to be raised by his grandfather--the aforementioned [[Earl Russell]] (whom Bertrand remembered as "a kindly old man in a wheelchair")--and grandmother Frances, Countess Russell at the age of four. The Earl died two years later--leaving the title to Bertrand's older brother Frank--and his grandmother took charge of the boys. The Countess was substantially more conservative than his parents--but given that his parents were very radical for their time, this merely meant that the same dose of freethought would be allowed in secular affairs, while still being indoctrinated as Presbyterians.
