The Hon. Frederic ("Fritz") Robinson (11 October 1746 – 28 December 1792) was an English MP.[1]
Robinson was the second son of Thomas Robinson, 1st Baron Grantham. His older brother Thomas Robinson, 2nd Baron Grantham was Ambassador at Madrid 1771–8; Fritz accompanied him to Spain as his Secretary, though ill-health forced him to return to England in 1777.[2]
He became Tory MP for Ripon in 1781. In 1785, he married Katherine Gertrude Harris, the eldest surviving daughter of the musician and philosopher James Harris.[3] He resigned his seat and accepted a pension in December 1787, and purchased 8 Whitehall Gardens, today Malmesbury House, in 1788; after his death his widow continued to live there until her own death in 1834.[4]
