George Walter Prothero

Sir George Walter Prothero, KBE (October 14, 1848 in Wiltshire - July 10, 1922) was an English historian, writer, and academic, and served as the president of the Royal Historical Society from 1901 to 1905.
==Life and writings==
Prothero was born in Wiltshire, and was educated at Eton, studying Classics at King's College at the University of Cambridge, and at the University of Bonn. He went on to become a Fellow of King's College, working as a history lecturer there from 1876. In 1894, he became the first Professor of Modern History at the University of Edinburgh. He held this position for five years before moving to London to take the place of his brother, Lord Ernle, as the editor of the ''Quarterly Review'', a political periodical. He also acted as editor of the ''Cambridge Historical Series'', a set of historical books detailing the history of several European nations and other parts of the world which were published by Cambridge University Press from 1894 onwards. With A. W. Ward and Stanley Mordaunt Leathes he edited the ''Cambridge Modern History'' between 1901 and 1912.
In 1903 he was invited to give the Rede Lecture, on which occasion he spoke on the topic of Napoleon III and the Second French Empire. In 1904-1906 he was a member of the Royal Commission for Ecclesiastical Discipline. Following the outbreak of World War I, Prothero worked as Historical Advisor to the Foreign Office, and in this capacity attended the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. For his services to the war effort, he was created Knight Commander of the British Empire in 1920.
He died in 1922.
He was married to Mary Butcher, one of the 12 members of the Ladies' Dining Society.
