Archibald Primrose was born May 7, 1847, in London.
He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford.
In 1868, he succeeded to his grandfathers title as 5th Earl of Rosebery.
Primrose served as Prime Minister from 1894-1895.
Rosebery's government was largely unsuccessful.
His designs in foreign policy, such as expansion of the fleet, were defeated by disagreements within the Liberal Party, while the Unionist-dominated House of Lords stopped the whole of the Liberals' domestic legislation.
On June 21, 1895, Rosebery resigned after a minor defeat in the House of Commons.
Archibald Primrose died May 21, 1929.
Thoroughbred horse racing:
As a result of his marriage to Hannah de Rothschild, Rosebery acquired Mentmore Towers and Mentmore stud near Leighton Buzzard that had been built by Mayer Amschel de Rothschild.
Rosbery would build another stable and stud near Mentmore Towers at Crafton, Buckinghamshire, called Crafton Stud.
Rosebery's horses won at least one of each of the five English Classic Races.
Among the most famous were Ladas who won the 1894 Epsom Derby, Sir Visto who did it again in 1895, and Cicero in 1905.
A southern suburb of Sydney, Australia, is named Rosebery, after the Earl.
