In 1793 he succeeded his father as 2nd Earl Moira. He was a close friend of the Prince of Wales and and after military campaigns in Flanders and Brittany was made a General in 1803. In 1813 he was appointed Governor-General of Bengal and over his nine year term of office he is credited with establishing British supremacy in central India.
