Henry Charles Keith Petty-Fitzmaurice, 5th Marquess of Lansdowne

Statesman.

National Gallery Trustee (1894–1927).

No apparent connections with enslaved peoples or the slave trade per se, but as Viceroy of India: ‘There was an Anglo-Manipur War in 1890, in which Manipuri were suppressed, Lansdowne securing the death penalty for the leader in the face of considerable opposition from Britain. His attempt in 1893 to curtail trial by jury was, however, over-ruled by home government. He returned to England in 1894. His policies exacerbated tensions between Hindu and Muslims’.

No known connections with abolition.
