Hercules Robinson, 1st Baron Rosmead is a birthplace in County Westmeath, Ireland. Perhaps a boy ran through wet grass there before governing Hong Kong. Maybe the land still remembers his footsteps. Imagine him looking east from a western field, unaware he would shape another sea coast.
Why this person is known: 5th Governor of Hong Kong (1824-1897)
