  Hercules Robinson, 1st Baron Rosmead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During this time, Robinson was involved in the successful efforts to annex the Fiji Islands to the British Empire, and his services were rewarded in 1875 by promotion to G.C.M.G. In 1879, Robinson was transferred to New Zealand, and in 1880, he succeeded Sir Henry Bartle Frere as High Commissioner for Southern Africa.
Robinson arrived in South Africa shortly before the disaster of Majuba, and was one of the commissioners for negotiating a peace.
Robinson's declaration that the advice of his ministers to patch up a settlement with the filibustering Boers was equivalent to a condonation of crime, led to the expedition of Sir Charles Warren and the annexation of Bechuanaland early in 1885.
