This thesis has examined the military career of a nineteenth century English peer, the seventh Earl of Cardigan, from his early years as a cavalry officer, moments of personal and national controversy surrounding his methods of command, and his military activities during the Crimean War of 1854-1856. A detailed study has been made of Lord Cardigan’s military service as a cavalry commander and the controversy concerning his command, especially in regard to the Crimean War, his leadership as commander of the Light Brigade, and the events that took place during the Battle of Balaclava October 25, 1854.
