Robert Peel
1788 CE–1850 CE · London
Sir Robert Peel was a British statesman who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1834 to 1835 and again from 1841 to 1846. As Home Secretary he established the Metropolitan Police Force in 1829, whose officers became known as "peelers" or "bobbies" after him. He is regarded as a founder of the modern Conservative Party, and in 1846 he repealed the protectionist Corn Laws, a step that split his party. He died in 1850 after a fall from his horse.
