About Francis Rawdon-Hastings, 1st Marquess of Hastings

General Francis Edward Rawdon-Hastings, 1st Marquess of Hastings, styled The Honourable Francis Rawdon from birth until 1762, Lord Rawdon between 1762 and 1783, The Lord Rawdon from 1783 to 1793 and The Earl of Moira between 1793 and 1816, was a British Army officer, politician and colonial administrator who served as Governor-General of Fort William from 1813 to 1823. He had also served with British forces for years during the American War of Independence and in 1794 during the War of the First Coalition. In Ireland, he was critical of the policy of coercion used to break the United Irish movement for representative government and national independence. He took the additional surname "Hastings" in 1790 in compliance with the will of his maternal uncle, Francis Hastings, 10th Earl of Huntingdon.
