Wellesley, Arthur, 1st Duke of Wellington British statesman, soldier, and Tory politician in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Wellesley's extensive political and military career crossed both Asia and Europe. In India, Wellesley was governor of Seringapatam and Mysore between 1799 and 1805. His brother, Richard Wellesley (1760-1842), was Governor-General of India during the same period. In Britain, Wellesley held a number of political offices, including Chief Secretary for Ireland (1807-1809), Foreign Secretary (1834-1835), and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1828-1830; 1834). Wellesley was also twice Commander-in-Chief of the British Army (1827-1828; 1842-1852). Wellesley was also a prominent opponent of the abolitionist movement in Britain, with the historian Michael Taylor describing him as 'the most ardently pro-slavery politician of the nineteenth century'.
