Henry Brand, 1st Viscount Hampden
- Henry Brand, 1st Viscount Hampden
Henry Bouverie William Brand, 1st Viscount Hampden GCB (24 December 1814 – 14 March 1892), speaker of the House of Commons, was the second son of the Henry Otway Trevor, 21st Baron Dacre, and descended, indirectly, from John Hampden, the patriot.
He entered parliament as a Liberal in 1852, and for some time was Chief Whip of his party. He was a Lord of the Treasury during the first Palmerston ministry, and Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury during the second. In 1872 he was elected speaker, and retained this post till February 1884.
He married in 1838, Eliza (1818-8 March 1899, Pelham house, Lewes) daughter of General Robert Ellice by his wife Eliza, daughter of Charles, Earl Grey by Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire.
It fell to him to deal with the systematic obstruction of the Irish Nationalist Party, and his speakership is memorable for his action on February 2, 1881 in refusing further debate on W.E. Forster's Coercion Bill—a step which led to the formal introduction of the closure into parliamentary procedure. He received the GCB the same year, becoming Sir Henry Brand. On his retirement he was created Viscount Hampden, later still he inherited from his brother the Barony of Dacre in 1890, as 23rd in line. Lord Hampden died on the 14th of March 1892, being succeeded in the viscountcy by his eldest son Henry, who was governor of New South Wales, 1895–1899. His second son the Hon. Thomas Seymour Brand (1847-1916) was a Rear-Admiral in the Royal Navy and inherited Glynde Place, while his third son the Hon. Arthur Brand was also a Liberal politician.
