Burdett entered the English House of Commons in 1679, sitting for Warwickshire in the next both years. In 1689 he was elected for Lichfield, which he represented until his retirement in 1698.[2] In Parliament he spoke unsuccessfully against the attainder of Sir John Fenwick, 3rd Baronet, who was beheaded shortly afterwards.[2] He was nominated a Deputy Lieutenant in 1704, serving for Warwickshire.[5]
Burdett married firstly Mary, only daughter of Gervase Pigot in 1666 and had by her a son and a daughter.[6] After her death two years later, he married again Magdalen Aston, daughter of Sir Thomas Aston, 1st Baronet in 1676.[6] By her Burdett had another four sons and as many daughters. Magdalen died in 1694.[7] His third wife was Mary, daughter of Thomas Brome.[6] Burdett died in January 1716, aged 76; he was survived by his last wife.[6] Robert, his only surviving son had predeceased him for two week and so the title was claimed by the former baronet's younger brother Walter.[8] Elizabeth, Robert's wife, however was pregnant at the time of his death and when her son Robert, named after his father, was born in May 1716, he succeeded to the baronetcy.[8]
