Lord Frederick Charles Cavendish[1]PC (30 November 1836 – 6 May 1882) was an English Liberal politician and protégé of the Prime Minister, William Ewart Gladstone. Cavendish was appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland in May 1882 but was killed along with Thomas Henry Burke in what came to be known as the Phoenix Park Murders only hours after his arrival in Dublin, a victim of the Irish National Invincibles organisation.
^As the son of an earl whom he predeceased, Cavendish did not himself hold a noble title, but was entitled to the style of "Lord" as a courtesy.
