George Curzon was appointed Viceroy of India in January 1899, taking on the office that acted as the monarch's representative.
Curzon was appointed Viceroy of India in January 1899. On his appointment he was created Baron Curzon of Kedleston, in the County of Derby, in the peerage of Ireland. The title was "Curzon of Kedleston" rather than simply "Curzon" because his kinsmen the Earls Howe were already Viscounts and Barons Curzon. As Viceroy he held the office entitled "Viceroy and Governor-General of India", which from 1858 included the role of the monarch's representative.
