        History

        Lord Gerald Strickland was born in Valletta on 24 May 1861, son of naval officer Commander Walter Strickland, and Maria Aloysia Bonici-Mompalao. Strickland was educated at St. Mary's College, Oscat and Trinity College, Cambridge. Upon graduating, he was admitted to Inner Temple in 1887 entitled to practice as a barrister-at-law. He was elected in 1886 to the council of the government of Malta. After the grant of self-government to Malta he formed the Anglo-Maltese Party in 1921 and after a few months, merged it with the Maltese Constitutional Party forming the Constitutional Party under his leadership. Clashes with the local authorities led to the suspension of the Constitution. He died on 22 August 1940.
