Rowland Edmund Prothero, 1st Baron Ernle, MVO, PC (6 September 1851 – 1 July 1937) was a British agricultural expert, administrator, journalist, author and Conservative politician.

Background and education

Prothero was the son of the Reverend Canon George Prothero, Rector of St. Mildred's Church, Whippingham, Isle of Wight, Hampshire, and his wife, Emma, only daughter of the Reverend William Money-Kyrle, of Homme House, Herefordshire. He was the brother of Sir George Prothero and Admiral Arthur Prothero. He was educated at Marlborough College and Balliol College, Oxford,[1] where he gained a 1st class honours degree in Modern History in 1875.{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}} In 1878 he was called to the Bar, Inner Temple.[1]

Academic and literary career

Prothero was a Fellow of All Souls' College, Oxford between 1875 and 1891,{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}} during which time he played first-class cricket with Hampshire,[2] and was also Proctor between 1883 and 1884.{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}} He edited the Quarterly Review between 1893 and 1899. From 1898 to 1918, he was chief agent for the 11th Duke of Bedford.[1]

Writings

Prothero published The Pioneers and Progress of English Farming in 1888. His other works include, English Farming Past and Present, The Psalms in Human Life,[1] Life and Correspondence of Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, published in 1893, and Letters and Journals of Lord Byron (1898–1901). His autobiography was entitled From Whippingham to Westminster. In 1901 he was appointed a Member of the Royal Victorian Order (MVO).[3]

Political career

Prothero unsuccessfully contested Biggleswade in 1910{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}} but was elected as Conservative Member of Parliament for Oxford University at a by-election in 1914, holding the seat until 1919.[1][4] He held office under David Lloyd George as President of the Board of Agriculture, with a seat in the cabinet, between December 1916 and 1919,[1][5] in which role he introduced a guaranteed price for wheat.{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}} He was sworn of the Privy Council in 1916[5] and in 1919 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Ernle, of Chelsea in the County of London,[1] a title chosen in reflection of his pride in his own matrilineal descent from the Ernle family, one of the historic landed families of Sussex and Wiltshire.{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}}
