'''Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey''' [[Knight Fever|KG PC]] was one of the main architects of the 1832 Reform Act, despite stiff opposition from [[The Duke of Wellington]]. In addition to straightening out a rather corrupt and unfair system that could in part be blamed for the American Revolution he also presided the total abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833 and gave his name to the [[Spot of Tea|aromatic blend of tea]] before retiring in 1834.
