Henry Bouverie William Brand, 1st

Viscount Hampden GCB PC (24

December 1814 – 14 March 1892), was a British Liberal politician.

He served as Speaker of

the House of Commons from 1872 to 1884. Brand was the second

son of General Henry Trevor, 21st Baron

Dacre, who inherited the barony in 1851, second son of Thomas Brand

and Gertrude Roper, 19th Baroness Dacre. His mother was Pyne, daughter of the

Very Reverend the Hon. Maurice Crosbie, Dean of Limerick, son of the 1st Lord Brandon (Brandon's

wife was a granddaughter of Sir William Petty, FRS). He descended, almost directly, from

Colonel John Hampden, "the

Patriot"; his forebear, Sir John Trevor III (1624–72) of Plas Teg, son of Sir John Trevor II of Plas Teg and Trevalun, by Anne daughter of Sir Edmund Hampden of Wendover,

had married John Hampden's daughter Ruth, who was his first cousin. That is to

say the 19th Baron Dacre (aka Gertrude Roper (d.1819) wife to Thomas Brand V

(1749–94)) was the great-great-granddaughter of The Patriot. He was educated

at Eton and was a member

of Brook's, Reform and Athenaeum clubs.

Brand was in the Coldstream Guards for

12 years, from 20 April 1832 until 6 September 1844. He was their 963rd

officer. His father, the General, had been their 690th officer serving 28 years

between 1793 and 1821. Brand entered parliament as a Liberal in 1852, sat

for Cambridgeshire, and for some time was Chief Whip of his party. He was a Lord of the Treasury during

the first Palmerston to the Treasury during the second. At some

point he was Keeper of the Privy Seal to the Prince of Wales. In 1872 he was

elected speaker, and retained this post till February 1884. It fell to him to

deal with the systematic obstruction of the Irish Nationalist Party,

and his speakership is memorable for his action on 2 February 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.[1] He was appointed a GCB in 1881 and on his retirement he was created Viscount

Hampden, of Glynde in the County of Sussex. In 1890 he also succeeded in

the barony of Dacre on the death of his brother.
