The viscountcy was revived in the Peerage of the United Kingdom when the Liberal politician and former Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Henry Brand, was created Viscount Hampden, of Glynde in the County of Sussex on 4 March 1884.
His son, the second Viscount, represented Hertfordshire and Stroud in Parliament and served as Governor of New South Wales.
Thomas Seymour Brand (1847–1916), second son of the first Viscount, was a rear-admiral in the Royal Navy.
Sir Hubert George Brand (1870–1955), second son of the second Viscount, was an admiral in the Royal Navy.
And also the 3rd Viscount gained rank and title in a similar fashion and was involved in the sport polo.
