Coningsby

Disraeli was born in Kensington, London, in February 1867, to Ralph Disraeli (1809–1898) and Katherine (née Trevor) (1837–1930), His father was the third son of the writer Isaac D'Israeli, and his paternal uncle was future Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, whose 1844 novel, Coningsby, he was named after. Benjamin was noted to have been close to Coningsby, and named him as the heir to his estate, including Hughenden Manor, in 1875, reportedly remarking "That boy will come to the front. I will, when the time comes, give him a start". Benjamin consequently oversaw and directed his education, with Coningsby studying first at Charterhouse School and later New College, Oxford, before moving to Charsley's Hall, owing to a dispute with examiners.
