LYONS, EDMUND LYONS, BARON (1790-1858)

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 174 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
LYONS, EDMUND LYONS, BARON (1790-1858) , British
admiral
 , was born at Burton, near Christchurch,
Hampshire
 , on the 21st of November 1790. He entered the navy, and served in the Mediterranean, and afterwards in the
East
  Indies, where in 1810 he won promotion by distinguished bravery. He became post-captain in 1814, and in 1826 commanded the "Blonde" frigate at the
blockade
  of Navarino, and took part with the French in the capture of Kasteo Morea. Shortly before his ship was paid off in 1835 he was knighted. From 1840 till 1853 Lyons was employed on the diplomatic service, being successively minister to
Greece
 , Switzerland and Sweden. On the outbreak of the war with Russia he was appointed second in command of the British
fleet
  in the Black Sea under
Admiral
  Dundas, whom he succeeded in the
chief
  command in 1854. As admiral of the inshore
squadron
  he had the direction of the landing of the troops in the Crimea, which he conducted with marvellous energy and despatch. According to Kinglake, Lyons shared the " intimate counsels " of Lord Raglan in regard to the most momentous questions of the war, and toiled, with a " painful consuming passion," to achieve the object of the campaign. His
principal
  actual achievements in battle were twothe support he rendered with his guns to the French at the Alma in attacking the left flank of the Russians, and the bold and brilliant part he took with his ship the " Agamemnon " in the first bombardment of the forts of Sebastopol; but his constant vigilance, his multifarious activity, and his suggestions and counsels were much more advantageous to the allied cause than his specific exploits. In 1855 he was created vice-admiral; in June 1856 he was raised to the peerage with the title of Baron Lyons of Christchurch. He died on the 23rd of November 1858.
