Grey of Fallodon, Edward Grey, 1st Viscount (1862-1933), British statesman, better known as Sir Edward Grey. He had a tenure of the Foreign Office which lasted exactly 11 years, from Dec. 1905 to Dec. 1916, the longest continuous of any person in that office. He was Ambassador to the United States between 1919 and 1920 and Leader of the Liberal Party in the House of Lords between 1923 and 1924.

He showed a keen interest in the League of Nations; and he took a leading part at the foundation, in July 1920, of a British Institute of International Affairs in order to promote among Englishmen international thinking.
