The British official who ruled in India was known as the Viceroy. The position was established in 1858 after the British Crown took direct control over India from the East India Company. Notable Viceroys include Lord Curzon and Lord Mountbatten, the latter being the last Viceroy who oversaw the transition to Indian independence in 1947.
