Jane Louis Reynolds married in 1887, as his
second wife, the eminent judge Sir Henry Hawkins, |
|
|
|
who was later created Baron Brampton. According
to Colin Simpson, Lewis Chester and David |
|
|
|
in their book "The Cleveland Street
Affair" [Little Brown, Boston 1976] she was very ambitious |
|
|
|
for her husband and is described in that book
as being a noted Mrs Malaprop. The authors give |
|
|
|
an amusing example of this trait - 'She is
reported to have said after being congratulated on |
|
|
|
possession of a particularly fine Persion
carpet: "You wouldn't believe how many people have |
|
|
|
copulated me on that carpet" ' |

5th Earl of Breadalbane in 1862, the |
|
|
|
|
Marquessate became extinct. The Earldom,
however, survived and the question of who was |
|
|
|
the rightful heir to both this title and the
entailed estates was fought out between two |
|
|
|
|
competitors in the Court of Session in Edinburgh. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following report is taken from the
'Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle' of 30 June |
|
|
|
1866:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Judgment was given by the Court of Session
today [26 June 1866] in the case of the |
|
|
|
|
competitors for the Breadalbane succession. The
parties were Lieutenant Charles William |
|
|
|
|
Campbell, of the 2nd Bengal Cavalry, pursuer,
and John Alexander Gavin Campbell, defender. |
|
|
|
The subject of competition was the title of
Earl of Breadalbane and Holland, Viscount of Tay, |
|
|
|
and Lord Glenurchy, in the peerage of Scotland,
and the entailed estates of Breadalbane and |
|
|
|
Inverardan, situated in the counties of Perth
and Argyll, and said to be of the annual value |
|
|
|
of above £50,000. The late Marquis of
Breadalbane, who died in 1862, left no family nor near |
|
|
|
kindred, and the succession to the marquisate,
being limited to heirs male, lapsed. The |
|
|
|
|
succession to the Scottish earldom and entailed
estates opened to a distant connection, |
|
|
|
running back about two centuries. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It was admitted that the right of possession
belonged to the representative of William |
|
|
|
|
Campbell, of Glenfalloch, who died in 1791,
leaving seven sons. Of this William the present |
|
|
|
parties were great-grandsons, the defendant
being descended from the second and the pursuer |
|
|
|
from the sixth, the other lines being extinct. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The priority of the defendant was sought to be
superseded on the ground of the illegitimacy of |
|
|
|
his father. The defendant is the grandson of
James Campbell, second son of William [Campbell] |
|
|
|
of Glenfalloch, and the same James, in 1781,
quartered in the west of England with his regiment, |
|
|
|
eloped with Eliza Maria Blanshard, wife of
Christopher Ludlow, grocer, in Chipping Sudbury, with |
|
|
|
whom to the end of his life he continued to
cohabit. There is some evidence of a marriage |
|
|
|
ceremony by the Gaelic minister in Edinburgh in
1781, but that was founded on by the pursuer |
|
|
|
rather than the defender, being, in consequence
of Ludlow's existence, an invalid or bigamous |
|
|
|
one, not followed by any lawful ceremony
constituting lawful wedlock after Ludlow's death. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'From 1793 down to James Campbell's death in
1806, the residence of the pair was almost |
|
|
|
|
continuously in Scotland, and there can be no
doubt that Eliza Maria Blanshard was, while there, |
|
|
|
presented to Campbell's friends, and received
as his wife, including the father of the late |
|
|
|
|
Marquis of Breadalbane. In 1788, they had a son
William John, who was brought up by his |
|
|
|
parents on the apparent footing of legitimacy.
In 1812, on the demise of his uncle William, this |
|
|
|
William John was served as heir to the family
estate of Glenfalloch, to which he would succeed |
|
|
|
only if legitimate, and his service was
conducted by his cousin Campbell, of Boreland, |
|
|
|
|
grandfather of [the] pursuer, who should
himself have succeeded if William John was |
|
|
|
|
illegitimate.
In 1852 William John Lamb Campbell died, and was succeeded in the
estate of |
|
|
|
Glenfalloch by the defender. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It was pleaded on the one hand that the
service to Glenfalloch ruled the present case, and, on |
|
|
|
the other, that Boreland was then in ignorance
of facts since come to light regarding James |
|
|
|
Campbell's relations with his wife which have
enabled him to claim that succession. The pleas |
|
|
|
for the pursuer were that James Campbell's
connection with Eliza Maria Blanshard was at the |
|
|
|
beginning an adulterous one and to the end an
illicit one; that the passing her off as his wife |
|
|
|
was illusory, and that a connection so
beginning cannot by mere continuance constitute a |
|
|
|
marriage by habit and repute, as the Scotch law
allows in other cases. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The defendant on the other hand contended
that, although previous to 1784, when Ludlow |
|
|
|
died, the connection was illicit, it became a
matrimonial connection by consent, by |
|
|
|
|
cohabitation and repute; that after 1784 the
parties were quite free to enter into an |
|
|
|
|
irregular marriage by the Scotch law, and that
in point of fact they did so. Mr. Campbell |
|
|
|
|
recognised Blanshard, treated her as his wife,
left her on one occasion a power of attorney |
|
|
|
to act as his wife, and even inhibited her at
the time, and that William John, if born a |
|
|
|
|
bastard, was at least legitimatised per subsequens matrimonium.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The case originally came before Lord Barcaple,
who found in favour of John Campbell, but |
|
|
|
|
Charles Campbell appealed his finding. As a
result, the other judges in the Court of Session |
|
|
|
were called in to consider the matter. After
one of the judges had excused himself due to his |
|
|
|
relationship to Charles Campbell, the judges
voted 10 to 2 in favour of John Campbell, who |
|
|
|
was found to be the rightful Earl of Breadalbane. |

On the death of the 10th Earl in 1995, the
peerage became dormant. Two claimants have |
|
|
|
|
emerged since that time. The first claimant is
a third cousin, once removed from the 10th Earl, |
|
|
|
and a member of the branch of the Campbell
family that currently live in Hungary. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following article on the first claimant
appeared in the London 'Telegraph' of 3 |
|
|
|
|
October 2000:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A Hungarian former taxi driver brought up in a
hovel is the heir presumptive to a Scottish |
|
|
|
earldom. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Huba Andras Campbell, 55, now a Budapest
businessman, is claiming the earldom of Breadalbane |
|
|
|
and Holland. The title was declared dormant
after John Romer Boreland Campbell, the 10th earl |
|
|
|
and 14th baronet, died in a nursing home in
1995. But Robert Noble, a genealogist, discovered |
|
|
|
Huba Campbell's claim after researching the
Hungarian branch of the Campbells of Breadalbane |
|
|
|
for eight years. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He said yesterday: "The family knew of
the Scottish connection, but had no idea that they |
|
|
|
were now the most senior line." The
Campbells' Hungarian connection dates from the 1870s |
|
|
|
when John Breadalbane Campbell, Huba's
great-grandfather, was one of many Scottish |
|
|
|
|
engineers employed to build bridges over the
Danube. He married Katherine Gordon, a |
|
|
|
|
descendant of the Marquess of Huntly, in
Budapest in 1873. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Huba Campbell suffered greatly for his noble
ancestry in communist Hungary. In the Fifties his |
|
|
|
family was sent to the countryside for
're-education.' His parents worked as vegetable-pickers |
|
|
|
and he was denied a university education
because of his origins. At 17 he became a mechanic |
|
|
|
and later a taxi driver. Since the fall of
communism he and his brother Nicholas have run a |
|
|
|
haulage and car import business and now live in
one of Budapest's smartest quarters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr Noble said: "In communist Hungary it
was bad enough to be a member of the nobility, but to |
|
|
|
be from the British nobility was
unforgivable." The earldom was created in 1681 for Sir John |
|
|
|
Campbell, the 11th Earl of Glenorchy [sic], to
whom popular myth has attributed the massacre |
|
|
|
of the MacDonald clan in Glencoe. The last earl
suffered a severe head wound as an officer with |
|
|
|
the Black Watch in the Second World War. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He subsequently worked as a gardener, on
building sites and as a barman. He was a keen |
|
|
|
|
bagpipe player, whose favourite tune was said
to be "The Campbells are Coming." In 1994 he |
|
|
|
was taken into a nursing home in Taunton,
Somerset, after the owner found him wandering the |
|
|
|
streets barefoot, wearing a poncho. George Way,
a Scottish solicitor specialising in peerage |
|
|
|
law, is preparing Huba Campbell's case for a
ruling by the Lord Lyon King of Arms. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'However, the only reward will be the title.
The huge estates have gone. Alastair Campbell of |
|
|
|
Airds, the author of the history of Clan
Campbell, said: "At one time they were nearly the largest |
|
|
|
landownders in Scotland and their lands
exceeded those of the clan chief, the Duke of Argyll. As |
|
|
|
recently as the beginning of the 20th century
they were supposed to be able to ride for 100 |
|
|
|
across Scotland without leaving the family's lands. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'But a series of distantly related heirs and
indifferent management brought about a rapid decline. |
|
|
|
"They badly overspent when Queen Victoria
came to stay at Taymouth Palace in Perthshire in |
|
|
|
the 1840s and the last property, Kilchurn
Castle on Loch Awe in Argyllshire, was sold off some |
|
|
|
dozen years ago." |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The second claimant is Sir Lachlan Campbell,
6th baronet, who is descended from a son of the |
|
|
|
first Earl by his second marriage. However, as
it appears that one of this claimant's ancestors |
|
|
|
was illegitimate, his ability to succeed is
severely compromised. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have been unable to find to what extent this
claim has progressed, if at all. It may well be that |
|
|
|
the lack of the necessary funds has caused the
claim to grind to a halt. |

Francis Henry Egerton, 8th Earl of Bridgewater |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following is extracted from "The
Emperor of the United States of America and Other |
|
|
|
|
Magnificent British Eccentrics" by
Catherine Caufield (Routledge & Kegan Paul, London 1981) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Egerton, the 8th Earl of Bridgewater, spent
most of his life as the Rev. Mr Egerton, but his |
|
|
|
interests were more academic than spiritual and
his career in the Church owed much to the |
|
|
|
influence of his father, the Bishop of Durham.
In 1796 he left England for France, possibly to |
|
|
|
avoid scandal about one or more illegitimate
children, but also partly for the sake of his health. |
|
|
|
He quarrelled with his brother, eventually the
7th Earl, and he was disappointed in the legacy |
|
|
|
left to him by his uncle, the Duke of
Bridgewater, but his pride in his family name was |
|
|
|
|
unqualified. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Egerton's succession in 1823 to the Earldom and
£40,000 a year allowed him to indulge his pride |
|
|
|
and his fancies. Everything that could be
embossed with the Bridgewater arms and crest, |
|
|
|
|
including the silver collars worn by his large
assortment of dogs and cats. He styled himself a |
|
|
|
Prince of the Holy Roman Empire, a claim
difficult to prove or disprove since the Empire, long a |
|
|
|
meaningless entity, had been formally dissolved
in 1806. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Earl was not much of a socialiser and often
his only companions at dinner were two of his |
|
|
|
dogs - usually his favourites, Bijou and Biche.
They, like all his other dogs, were dressed in the |
|
|
|
height of Parisian fashion right down to their
handmade boots. Linen napkins around their necks |
|
|
|
protected their clothes and a footman behind
each chair made sure their wants were attended |
|
|
|
to. Of course the dogs were expected to display
good manners, which is more than can be |
|
|
|
said of the Earl, who was something of a slob
at table. Any of the 'guests' who failed to live up |
|
|
|
to the honour of dining with their master were
condemned to the humiliation of wearing the |
|
|
|
yellow servants' livery and eating in the
servants' hall for a week. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
His carriage, emblazoned with the Bridgewater
crest, pulled by four horses, and attended by |
|
|
|
liveried footmen, was often seen driving
through Paris with half a dozen dogs reclining on silk |
|
|
|
cushions on their way to the Bois de Boulogne
for a walk. If it rained a servant was on hand |
|
|
|
especially to shield them with an umbrella.
Sometimes Egerton sent his carriage, fully |
|
|
|
|
attended, merely to convey a borrowed book back
to a neighbour in proper Bridgewater style. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Earl was a bit of a dandy. He suffered from
a tremendous underbite and a very upturned |
|
|
|
chin, so his clothes had to be remarkable to
distract attention from his physiognomy. The |
|
|
|
|
same bootmaker who shod Egerton's pets had a
standing order for a new pair of boots for the |
|
|
|
Earl himself. He wore each pair once only and
employed a valet to keep the cast-offs |
|
|
|
|
arranged in the order in which they had been
worn. That way a glance at any pair told him |
|
|
|
when, where and, as they were left uncleaned,
in what weather he had worn them; his boots |
|
|
|
served him as a sort of diary. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although he lived in France for over 30 years,
Egerton never mastered French, which meant he |
|
|
|
had to converse with his scholarly friends in
Latin. Even that was preferable to his later habit |
|
|
|
of ordering his secretary to entertain them by
reading extracts from his long and ever changing |
|
|
|
will. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the rare occasions when Egerton had friends
to dine, they could reasonably expect a good |
|
|
|
meal since he employed, at no mean expense, the
great chef, Viard. Egerton's favourite menu, |
|
|
|
however, was boiled beef and potatoes which he
presented to his less than thrilled guests as a |
|
|
|
great English delicacy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He missed English hunting and shooting even
more than English boiled beef. With a few select |
|
|
|
friends, mounted on spirited horses, and
dressed in pink coats, and with an imported fox, |
|
|
|
|
proper hounds, and a professional huntsman to
sound the horn, Bridgewater gave miniature |
|
|
|
hunts in his Paris gardens. He also kept 300
each of rabbits, pigeons and partridges so that |
|
|
|
he could totter out into the grounds on the arm
of a servant and bag his dinner. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
His whims, which he always indulged, were often
on a grand scale. Having once decided to |
|
|
|
remove for a season to the country, Egerton
oversaw the ordeal of packing which went on for |
|
|
|
months. On the great day, the party set off in
sixteen luggage-laden carriages led by one |
|
|
|
|
containing himself and his pets. Along with
this came thirty servants on horseback. Only a few |
|
|
|
hours after this procession had left the Earl's
house, neighbours saw it wearily returning. The |
|
|
|
change of plans had been occasioned by a
substandard lunch which awakened the Earl to the |
|
|
|
hazards of travel. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In his will, Egerton left most of his estate to
academic or charitable concerns and he directed |
|
|
|
that his house should be run for two months
after his death as if he were still alive. Each |
|
|
|
|
servant received a mourning suit, a cocked hat
and three pairs of worsted stockings. The dogs |
|
|
|
and cats were not mentioned. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Egerton is buried at Little Gaddesden Church in
Hertfordshire. A monument designed to his |
|
|
|
instructions depicts a woman with a dolphin at
her feet, a stork behind her and an elephant |
|
|
|
at her side. |

Frederick Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol - Frederick was better known as the Earl-Bishop of |
|
|
|
Derry. In an incident in Siena, Italy, he was
forced to run for his life after he had seized a |
|
|
|
tureen of pasta and dropped it out of a window
onto a Corpus Christi procession. He was later |
|
|
|
imprisoned in a castle in Milan, upon which the
British Ambassador in Naples reported that |
|
|
|
"his lordship's freedom in conversation,
particularly after dinner, is such as to make him liable |
|
|
|
to accidents of this nature." After his
release from prison, a young Irish girl spotted the |
|
|
|
|
Bishop out on the town. "He was sitting in
his carriage", she wrote, "between two Italian |
|
|
|
|
women, dressed in a white bed-gown and
night-cap like a witch and giving himself the airs |
|
|
|
of an Adonis." After he died in Italy, the
crew of the ship hired to return his body to England |
|
|
|
refused to allow the corpse on board. He had to
be smuggled back to England in a packing |
|
|
|
case labelled as an antique statue. |

His daughter, Lady
Elizabeth Foster (1759-1824) combined charm
and a formidable sex drive, |
|
|
|
the latter embracing bisexual tastes. As a
young widow, Lady Elizabeth's relationship with the |
|
|
|
5th Duke of Devonshire and his gambling-mad
wife, Georgiana, evolved into a notorious |
|
|
|
|
menage-a-trois. Elizabeth's
perserverance was rewarded and, after bearing two illegitimate |
|
|
|
children by the duke, she became his second
wife in 1809. |

Lord John William Nicholas Hervey (1841-1902) -
in December 1865, Lord John, together |
|
|
|
with the Hon. Henry Strutt and Mr. Coore were
cruising around Greece when they encountered |
|
|
|
an unlooked-for adventure. According to the
Athens correspondent of 'The Times.' …….'On the |
|
|
|
4th inst. [i.e. 4 December 1865], these
gentlemen left Ithaca for a week's shooting in Acarnania. |
|
|
|
Dragomans, guides, and Ionians all assured them
that there was no danger. On reaching |
|
|
|
|
Acarnania they touched at Askatos to exhibit
the papers of the yacht and take on board a few |
|
|
|
beaters selected by their guide, Photé. I
believe they did not find so much game as they |
|
|
|
|
expected, killing only a single deer on
Thursday. On Friday they changed their position, going up |
|
|
|
the gulf of Dragomestre and nearer Askatos, in
order the beat the woods at a place called |
|
|
|
Maratha, and in the afternoon of the 8th inst.
suddenly found themselves as completely at the |
|
|
|
mercy of Spiro Deli as the five officers who
went out to capture Kitzos were at his mercy when |
|
|
|
he murdered the priest of Marathon before their
eyes on the 23rd of October. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'One of the sailors of the yacht called out
that they had fallen among brigands, and on Lord |
|
|
|
John, Strutt, and Coore looking around each saw
a gun pointed at him within 40 yards, while he |
|
|
|
who held the gun contrived to conceal
everything but a very small angle of his person. They |
|
|
|
could see four enemies in ambush, and while
they paused to consider the means of escape, their |
|
|
|
interpreter, whom the brigands had already
secured, called out to them not to fire, as the |
|
|
|
robbers were many, and on turning to gain the
shore where their boat was waiting by some open |
|
|
|
ground they encountered five more guns pointed
at them, the owners of which contrived with |
|
|
|
admirable ingenuity to conceal their persons.
In the meantime, their guide, Photé, disappeared |
|
|
|
with the beaters. They stood still, and the
chief of the brigands came forward and politely |
|
|
|
requested them to make him a present of their
rifles and revolvers, which, as nine muzzles were |
|
|
|
still pointed at them, they did with as much
good will as they could command. They were now |
|
|
|
prisoners, and the brigands had a council to
settle the manner in which their capture might be |
|
|
|
turned to the best account. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

'In order to lose as little time as possible a
party was sent off to plunder the yacht, but returned |
|
|
|
extremely dissatisfied with the small sum found
in gold. This induced the brigands to declare that |
|
|
|
they would carry all three to the mountains,
but Mr. Strutt said that if they would allow him to |
|
|
|
go on board he would give them 20 napoleons,
which they had not found. This put them in a |
|
|
|
better humour, and on receiving the 20
napoleons they agreed to keep only one hostage and the |
|
|
|
interpreter, and to allow the other two to go
to Patras for the ransom. Lots were cast, and Mr. |
|
|
|
Coore had the misfortune to remain in the hands
of the brigands for a week. Lord John Hervey |
|
|
|
and Mr. Strutt are said to have received each a
bank-note for 100 drachmas to pay their |
|
|
|
passage to Patras, and they were the bearers of
a letter to Mr. Wood, the managing partner |
|
|
|
of the house of Barff and Co., of which this is
a translation:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Mr. Wood - you must send us 3,000 lirais sterlinais [i.e.
£3,000] to ransom the Englishman |
|
|
|
within eight days, and take care that we are not molested in the
meantime, or we shall |
|
|
|
kill the men
we have. |
|

|
"The Company in the Forest." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lord John Hervey and Mr. Strutt were so
fortunate as to get on board the Greek steamer and |
|
|
|
they reached Patras on Sunday evening. They
immediately presented their letter from "The |
|
|
|
Company in the Forest," but Messrs. Barff
and Co. had not £3,000 in gold in hand. They |
|
|
|
|
therefore applied for what they wanted to the branch of the
Greek National Bank, which at |
|
|
|
other seasons of the year has often from £8,000
to £10,000 of the money of Messrs. Barff |
|
|
|
and Co. in its hands for months. But the
manager would give no gold, even to deliver English- |
|
|
|
men, without an order from Athens. A telegram
was sent off to the governor of the National |
|
|
|
Bank, who on receiving it went to bed, and
immediately afterwards to the British Minister, Mr. |
|
|
|
Erskine, who on receiving his, about midnight,
immediately went and roused the governor of |
|
|
|
the National Bank from his bed. But the
persuasion of Mr. Erskine, who offered his own private |
|
|
|
guarantee as well as the security of Her
Majesty's Minister in Greece, was unavailing to procure |
|
|
|
an order for the advance of any gold until a
council of direction approved sacrificing gold for |
|
|
|
men's lives. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Next morning, however, a telegram was sent off
in these terms:- |
|
|
|
|
|
"Give the money to Mr. Wood on receiving bills signed by Lord
John Hervey and the Hon. |
|
|
|
Henry Strutt,
but at an advantageous price." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
But only £2,400 was collected in gold, and Lord
John and Mr. Strutt sailed on Monday, at 3 p.m., |
|
|
|
with that amount in gold and the rest in Greek
bank-notes. The brigands declined receiving |
|
|
|
Greek bank-notes. In order to prevent any loss
of time, the captain of the Chanticleer went over |
|
|
|
to Ithaca, and obtained the gold from the bank
branch there on paying a premium of six per |
|
|
|
cent. This gold was in Venetian sequins, which
the brigands, after cutting in two and bending |
|
|
|
the others in true seraff style to verify the
purity of the coin, condescended to receive, and Mr. |
|
|
|
Coore was released. Mr. Coore appears to have
passed rather a hard time with the brigands. He |
|
|
|
slept in caverns and under trees, but he was
rarely allowed to enjoy uninterrupted rest, for the |
|
|
|
band usually changed its position in the middle
of the night. On one occasion the brigands came |
|
|
|
suddenly within a few hundred yards of a
detachment of gendarmes, and the chief informed Mr. |
|
|
|
Coore that he would shoot him rather than allow
him to escape. Fortunately for Mr. Coore the |
|
|
|
brigands were not pursued.' |

Victor Frederick Cochrane Hervey, 6th Marquess
of Bristol - he was known as 'Victor |
|
|
|
Hervey, Mayfair Playboy No. 1' in society
columns written by himself. On one occasion he drove |
|
|
|
his car into a taxi rank to discover whether
cars buckled like a concertina - he was able to |
|
|
|
report that they did. He later tried to relieve
his financial situation by becoming a gun runner in |
|
|
|
the Spanish Civil War, but failed through
incompetence. Soon after this disappointment, he |
|
|
|
received a three-year prison sentence on two
counts of robbery. Asked why he needed the |
|
|
|
money, he explained that he was waiting for an
unpaid commission of £83,000 on an arms |
|
|
|
|
sale to China. |

Frederick William John Augustus Hervey, 7th
Marquess of Bristol - the family decadence |
|
|
|
reached its height (or should that be depth?)
with the drug-addicted 7th Marquess. Before |
|
|
|
the death of his father, with whom he was on
poor terms, Bristol lived as a tax exile in France |
|
|
|
on the proceeds of a £4 million family trust.
On one occasion, when driving through Paris, he |
|
|
|
was shot at by a Frenchman. Happily, he was in
his six-door, armour-plated Mercedes that had |
|
|
|
been built for Pope John Paul II. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Though slightly built, Bristol never lacked
courage, and he took the incident in good part. When |
|
|
|
his father died in 1985, he moved into one wing
of the ancestral home in Ickworth, Suffolk, |
|
|
|
thereafter coping with life with copious
amounts of heroin. A favourite source of amusement |
|
|
|
was to organise midnight rabbit shoots for his
inebriated young guests, firing from limousines; |
|
|
|
another was to shoot holes in a rubber dinghy
in which a guest was fishing on the lake. A less |
|
|
|
pleasant idiosyncrasy was to feed his wolfhound
on a diet of cats culled from the estate. In all, |
|
|
|
47 cats were thought to have been eaten by the
massive 12-stone dog. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bristol was married briefly to Francesca, the
daughter of a property tycoon, but he preferred |
|
|
|
the company of young men who were delivered in
the middle of the night like pizzas. A |
|
|
|
|
helicopter, parked on the lawn, was used for
this purpose, as well as for the ferrying in of |
|
|
|
|
drugs. Targeted by the police, he was arrested
several times for dealing in heroin and cocaine, |
|
|
|
and he spent a year in prison. There is no
reason to suppose that this experience provided any |
|
|
|
sort of cure, and he continued to throw parties
until his death at the age of 44. The cause of |
