"Neville Temple"
The Honourable Julian Henry Charles Fane (10 October 1827 – 19 April 1870) was a British diplomat and poet. He was a Cambridge Apostle.
.
"Edward Trevor"
Lytton, Edward Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl (1831–91). Son of the historical novelist, Lytton was educated at Harrow and privately on the continent. He enjoyed a successful career in the diplomatic service and became attached to the Conservative Party interest. He was also a poet and friend of the Brownings. He was appointed viceroy of India in 1875 by Disraeli and organized the great ‘durbah’ proclaiming Victoria queen-empress in 1877. His administration was principally distinguished for its aggressive external policies which, in 1878, brought about the second Afghan war. His army set off for Kabul. However, a change of government at home saw him recalled and Lord Ripon, his Liberal successor, sued for peace. In 1887 Lytton was appointed ambassador to Paris by Lord Salisbury.
