Charles Howard, 10th Earl of Carlisle

Charles James Stanley Howard, 10th Earl of Carlisle, DL (8 March 1867 – 20 January 1912), styled Viscount Morpeth from 1889 to 1911, was a British soldier, peer, and Liberal Unionist politician.

Howard was the eldest son of George Howard, 9th Earl of Carlisle, and the Hon. Rosalind Frances, daughter of Edward Stanley, 2nd Baron Stanley of Alderley. Geoffrey William Algernon Howard was his younger brother. He was educated at Rugby and Balliol College, Oxford.

Howard joined the British Army, and achieved the rank of Captain in the 3rd Border Regiment before he retired from the regular army. He was appointed a captain in the 5th Militia Battalion of the Rifle Brigade (The Prince Consort's Own) on 7 April 1897. The battalion was embodied for active service in the Second Boer War, and he served in South Africa until September 1902, when he returned home on the SS Avondale Castle. In 1904 he was elected to the House of Commons for Birmingham South, a seat he held until 1911, when he succeeded his father in the earldom and entered the House of Lords. He was appointed a deputy lieutenant of Cumberland in 1905.
