Robert Myddelton Biddulph (20 June 1805 – 21 March 1872) was a British landowner and Member of Parliament for the Liberal Party. He was the elder son of Robert Biddulph of Burghill by his wife Charlotte Myddelton of Chirk Castle. He succeeded his father in 1814 and his mother in 1843. He was Member of Parliament for Denbigh Boroughs from 1830 to 1832 and for Denbighshire from 1832 to 1835 and from 1852 to 1868. He was Colonel of the Denbigh Militia from 1840, Lord Lieutenant of Denbighshire from 1841, and an aide-de-camp to Queen Victoria from 1869, holding all these offices until his death. On 31 May 1832 he married Frances, daughter of William Owen of Woodhouse in Shropshire; they had three sons (one of whom predeceased him) and three daughters. At his death his eldest son Richard succeeded to Chirk Castle, his wife inherited his London house at 35 Grosvenor Place, and his brother Thomas received a life interest in the estate at Burghill. An 1869 portrait by Henry Richard Graves was presented to Biddulph's widow in 1873. It was acquired by the National Trust in 2004 and is in the Myddelton collection at Chirk.〔(Colonel Robert Myddleton Biddulph MP (1805-1872) ), National Trust Collections.
