Travers Twiss lived from March 19, 1809 to January 14, 1897 and was an English jurist with a distinguished academic and legal career that culminated in his appointment as Queen's Advocate-General. He was particularly noted for his contribution to the theory of international law, was widely consulted, and was asked to draw up the constitution of the Congo Free State. A prolific author, he wrote many influential textbooks on legal matters, though his public career ended abruptly in 1872 after a scandal involving his wife Marie; he continued to research and publish on international law afterward.
