Robert Adam Nisbet-Hamilton PC, FRS, JP (1804 – 9 June 1887), known as Robert Dundas until 1835 and as
Robert Christopher between 1835 and 1855, was a British Conservative Party politician. He served as Chancellor
of the Duchy of Lancaster under the Earl of Derby between March and December 1852. He married Lady Mary,
daughter of General Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin and Mary, daughter and
heiress of William Hamilton Nisbet, in 1828. He assumed the surname of
Christopher in lieu of his patronymic in 1835 when his wife Lady Mary Bruce inherited the Christopher estates
at Bloxholm and Wellvale in Lincolnshire. In 1855 he assumed the surname of Nisbet-Hamilton in lieu of Christopher
after his wife succeeded to the Nisbet-Hamilton estates in Scotland
