When we watch a movie, we can't help but want to understand the history behind the film. Today, I watched the video of the movie Victoria in Love and became interested in one of the characters, Lord Melbourne.
The Lord of Melbourne is actually the Viscount of Melbourne. In England, they liked to refer to nobles below the duke, including marquises, earls, viscounts and barons, as Lord XX, and in Scotland they did not use the word baron at all, and all barons used lord instead. Regarding the specific use of Lord Lord, I have written a special topic manuscript before, and those who are interested can go to it.

In British history, there are also some famous viscounts with great titles, and the Viscount of Melbourne is one of them. Lord Melbourne in the film Victoria in Love is William Lamb, the 2nd Viscount of Melbourne, and his father, Peniston Of Broctwick Church, Hertfordshire, 2nd Generation, Peniston was a member of parliament in Luthershare, Malmesbury and Newport on the Isle of Wight, and in 1770 was crowned Baron Kilmore and Lord Melbourne of the Noble County of Cavan, Ireland. In 1781 he was made the Viscount of Melbourne in Kilmore, County Cavan, Ireland, and in 1815 he was made a Baron of Melbourne, Derbyshire, United Kingdom. The fourth and youngest son of the Viscount 1, His Excellency George Lamb, was also a politician.

William Lamb was a prominent Whig politician who served as Prime Minister of England in 1834 and from 1835 to 1841, the first Prime Minister of Queen Victoria, and she relied so much on his wisdom and experience in the early days of her reign that political enemies in Melbourne complained that he had confused the Queen. Because the mother of the 2nd Viscount melbourne had many lovers, some people doubted whether he was really the son of the 1st Viscount.

After the death of the 2nd Viscount of Melbourne, his younger brother Frederick James Lamb became the 3rd Viscount of Melbourne, a distinguished diplomat who, in 1839, nine years before he succeeded to his brother's title, was made the Baron of Boville, The NobleMan of Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. After his death in January 1853, all five titles were extinct due to the lack of descendants, and no titles of the same name have been created again. The Lamb family's ancestral home at Melbourne Hall passed down to his sister Emily. His widow remarried John Wilder Forrest, the 2nd Baron of Forrest, in 1856, widowed again in 1873 and died in 1894. There is a monument to St. Paul's Cathedral in his memory.
The Viscount of Melbourne resigned from the post of private secretary to Victoria
Known as the "Master of Victoria", the Viscount of Melbourne had been the Queen's personal secretary for the first four years of Victoria's reign, responsible for teaching her the art of politics, and the two later became friends, and Victoria once said that she regarded Lord Melbourne as a father. Some people must be curious about whether the Melbourne Lord in the movie is related to Melbourne in Australia, which is where the Australian Open is held. The answer is yes. The Australian city of Melbourne was named after william Lamb, who happened to be prime minister when the city was named.

The original English name of the movie "Victoria in Love" was The Young Victoria, in fact, the translation into "Young Victoria" is more appropriate, and it may be more gimmicky to use the word "love" in China, they translated it as it is now. In fact, this is a historical theme movie, and no matter how "love" is in the name, it cannot become a theme movie, and it cannot stimulate much hormones.
