Nawab Sayyid Mansur Ali Khan (29 October 1830 – 4 November 1884) was Nawab of Bengal until his abdication in 1880, whereupon he renounced his titles and position as Nawab of Bengal. Bengal had been under occupation of the British East India Company since 1773 when Warren Hastings was appointed by the East India Company as the first Governor-General of Bengal. By 1793 British East India company took complete control of Bengal (former Mughal province), making Mansur Khan just a titular ruler under the British Raj. Item #18-3347
