Godfrey Charles Morgan, 1st Viscount Tredegar (28 April 1831 – 11 March 1913) was a Welsh officer, a General in the British Army, and a peer in the House of Lords.

[1] When the Crimean War broke out in 1854, Tredegar, aged 22, held the rank of captain in the 17th Lancers and accompanied his famous regiment to the scene of the great struggle.

He was buried in the Cedar Garden at Tredegar House (though not with full military honours as is frequently believed).

He never married and on his death the viscountcy became extinct and his barony and baronetcy and the Tredegar estate passed to his nephew Courtenay Morgan, who spent little time in Wales.

[1] A statue of Viscount Tredegar riding Sir Briggs was unveiled in 1909 in Gorsedd Gardens, Cathays Park, Cardiff.
