William Stephen Raikes Hodson (19 March 1821 – 11 March 1858) was a British leader of irregular light cavalry during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, commonly referred to as the Indian Mutiny or the Sepoy Mutiny. He was known as "Hodson of Hodson's Horse". His most celebrated action was to apprehend Bahadur Shah II, the Mughal king of Delhi (also referred to as emperor of India). The following day Hodson rode to the enemy camp, heavily outnumbered by the rebels, and demanded the surrender of the Mughal princes who were leading the rebellion around Delhi and subsequently shot his prisoners.

  • William Stephen Raikes Hodson (* 10. März 1821; † 11. März 1858) war einer der britischen Offiziere, die maßgeblich an der Niederschlagung des Indischen Aufstands von 1857 beteiligt waren. Er galt seinen Zeitgenossen als hervorragender Reiter und herausragender Kämpfer. Er war jedoch nach der Rückeroberung Delhis maßgeblich an den grausamen Vergeltungsmaßnahmen der Briten an der indischen Bevölkerung beteiligt. Bekannt ist William Hodson, weil er den letzten Großmogul Indiens, Bahadur Shah Zafar II., nach dem Verrat durch seinen Schwiegersohn gefangen nahm. Zwei seiner Söhne sowie einer seiner Enkel wurden nach ihrer Gefangennahme von William Hodson sofort erschossen. (de)
