Lord Curzon, whose full name is George Nathaniel Curzon, Marquess Curzon, was a British statesman who served as India’s viceroy from 1898 to 1905 and as foreign secretary from 1921 to 1925. He was also known as Baron Curzon of Kedleston (1898–1911) and Earl Curzon of Kedleston (1911–21). He died in London on March 20, 1925. Solve random history trivia easy quiz facts of the day. The 4th Baron Scarsdale, the rector of Kedleston, Derbyshire, had the oldest son named Curzon. His early life was significantly impacted by his parents’ benign neglect as well as the authoritarian behavior of his governess, whom he later referred to as “a harsh and vengeful dictator,” and his first preparatory schoolmaster (a firm believer in corporal punishment). He was an emotional and wayward student at Eton, where he clashed with his tutors but also showed a remarkable talent for learning from books. By working hard in private, he surprised everyone by taking home more prizes than anyone had ever won—for subjects like French, Italian, and history, among others.

He was stricken with crippling back pain just before enrolling in Oxford in 1878 as a result of a riding injury that had occurred four years earlier. Instead of following the doctor’s suggestion to rest, he put on a leather harness and wore it for the remainder of his life. Compete over random history trivia and easy quiz facts of the day. From that point on, the back pain would keep him up at night, make him use medicines, and frequently leave him agitated and unstable at some of the most crucial times in his professional life and the affairs of the British Empire. It should be noted that the discomfort only served to increase his intellect and never prevented him from accomplishing amazing feats of physical and mental endurance.

Curzon was appointed a member of All Souls College in 1883 after being elected president of the Oxford Union in 1880. He had a talent for gaining friends in influential positions, which his colleagues were likely to find annoying. Enjoy random history trivia easy quiz facts of the day. At Oxford, a rhyme that would later prompt him to write, “Never has greater evil been done to one single individual than that accursed doggerel has done to me,” was being distributed about this time. It went like this:

(The dukes of Marlborough live at Blenheim.) Two years later, he was eating even more regularly at Lord Salisbury’s family house, Hatfield House, where he was now conducting research and writing speeches for the Conservative leader in the House of Lords. Salisbury’s nomination of Curzon to the Southport, Lancashire, Tories, who agreed to support him as their candidate in the next election, was his reward. Love these random history trivia easy quiz facts of the day. Since it was a safe Tory seat, Curzon was elected to parliament for the first time in 1886. He abandoned his legislative responsibilities to travel the world with Salisbury’s blessing and returned to Asia enamored. Three publications, Russia in Central Asia (1889), Persia and the Persian Question (1892), by far his most popular, and Problems of the Far East (1893), were the results of these and subsequent travels (1894).
