Lord Bullingdon (born 1762) was an English aristocrat. The son of Sir Charles Reginald Lyndon and Honoria Lyndon, he lost his father in 1772 and came to despise his Irish stepfather Barry Lyndon, whom he immediately saw as a social climber who was only after his mother's money. Bullingdon enlisted in the company his father had raised for the British Army in 1778 during the American Revolutionary War, and he went missing before returning by 1782. After being caned by his stepfather for attacking his half-brother Bryan Patrick Lyndon during a study session, Bullingdon interrupted a party his father was holding and publicly accused him of infidelities, cruelty, and social climbing and stated his intention to leave the estate and not return as long as Lyndon was there. Lyndon responded by physically assaulting Bullingdom, embarrassing himself and causing the nobles in attendance to cut their ties with him. In 1789, Bullingdon challenged Lyndon to a duel after his mother nearly killed herself, and he shot Lyndon in the leg and reduced him to an amputee. Though Bullingdon consented to his mother providing Lyndon with an annuity, he cut off the annuity after his mother's death, resulting in Lyndon dying in a debtors' prison in 1795.
