abstract
  • Innocent was born the eldest son of a noble family in London, United Kingdom, and educated at Eton College before moving on to the University of Cambridge. In 1891, he entered into politics, winning unopposed the riding his father had held until he died that year, and held that seat in the British House of Commons until he inherited his uncle's dukedom in 1908. Thereafter, he took his place in the House of Lords, while, for a period at the same time, acting as mayor of Eastbourne and Chesterfield, as well as holding various cabinet posts both prior to and after his rise to the peerage. He was, in 1916, appointed as governor general by King William IV, on the recommendation of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom John Drysdale, to replace Prince Henry, as viceroy, and occupied that post until succeeded by the Lord Gibson of Beckington in 1921. The designation was initially controversial, though by the time of his departure for the UK, Innocent had earned praise for the way in which he carried out his official duties. Following his tenure as the Canadian viceroy, Innocent returned to political and diplomatic life, serving as Secretary of State for the Colonies between 1922 and 1924, before retiring to his estate in Staffordshire.
