Generalguvernören av indien gavs titeln vicekung?
Governor-General of India
Fram till 1833 var titeln på befattningen "Generalguvernör för Bengalen". Genom 1833 års lag om Indiens regering omvandlades titeln till "Indiens generalguvernör". Titeln "vicekung och generalguvernör" användes för första gången i drottningens proklamation som utnämnde Viscount Canning 1858. Den tilldelades aldrig genom en parlamentshandling, men användes i rangordningar och i riddarordnares stadgar. I bruket används "vicekung" när generalguvernörens ställning som monarkens representant är i sikte. Viceregaltiteln användes inte när suveränen var närvarande i Indien. Den var avsedd att ange nya ansvarsområden, särskilt rituella, men den gav ingen ny lagstadgad befogenhet. Generalguvernören använde regelbundet titeln i kommunikationer med det kejserliga lagstiftande rådet, men all lagstiftning skedde endast i generalguvernörens (eller Indiens regerings) namn.
Until 1833, the title of the position was "Governor-General of Bengal". The Government of India Act 1833 converted the title into "Governor-General of India." The title "Viceroy and Governor-General" was first used in the queen's proclamation appointing Viscount Canning in 1858. It was never conferred by an act of parliament, but was used in warrants of precedence and in the statutes of knightly orders. In usage, "viceroy" is employed where the governor-general's position as the monarch's representative is in view. The viceregal title was not used when the sovereign was present in India. It was meant to indicate new responsibilities, especially ritualistic ones, but it conferred no new statutory authority. The governor-general regularly used the title in communications with the Imperial Legislative Council, but all legislation was made only in the name of the Governor-General-in-Council (or the Government of India).
