High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! General Sir Robert Brownrigg, 1st Baronet GCB (1759 27 April 1833) was a British statesman and soldier. Brownrigg was commissioned as an ensign in 1775. After service with the 9th Foot, he was appointed Military Secretary to the Duke of York in 1795, and accompanied him to The Helder in Holland in 1799. In 1803 he was appointed Quartermaster-General to the Forces. In July 1809, he joined the expedition to the Schelt. He left his post as Quartermaster-General to the Forces in 1811, and then, in 1813, he was appointed Governor of Ceylon. In 1815, he conquered the kingdom of Kandy, in the interior of the island, and annexed it to the British crown. In recognition of his conquest, Brownrigg was created a baronet in 1816. There was a major rebellion in October 1817 but Brownrigg also managed to put this down. He attained the rank of full General in 1819 and left Ceylon the following year. He died near Monmouth in 1833.
