|
|
|
|
Wolfe was the son of John Wolfe, a wealthy man
from Forenaughts in county Kildare. From |
|
|
|
|
an early age, he demonstrated a hatred of
persecution and injustice. Rising through the |
|
|
|
|
legal ranks, he was appointed Solicitor General
for Ireland in 1789. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In one case, in 1795, he was called upon to
prosecute a number of young boys who were |
|
|
|
|
charged with high treason and who would be
hanged if found guilty. The presiding judge was |
|
|
|
Lord Carleton of Clare, who had the reputation
of being merciless, to the extent that he once |
|
|
|
sentenced two brothers to death, even though he
was their guardian under the will of their |
|
|
|
father. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Carleton opened the trial by asking Wolfe, 'are
you ready to go on with the trial of these |
|
|
|
|
traitors?' Wolfe was incensed that the judge
appeared to thus condemned the prisoners |
|
|
|
|
before the trial had begun, and thereupon did
everything in his power to fight against his own |
|
|
|
case, to the extent that the accused were all
pardoned on condition they left Ireland forever. |
|
|
|
One of the accused refused to give such an
undertaking and was duly hanged. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 1798, Wolfe fought what was perhaps his
greatest battle when he tried to save Theobald |
|
|
|
Wolfe Tone from being hanged for treason. Tone
had been captured aboard a French ship and, |
|
|
|
at a subsequent court-martial, was sentenced to
be hanged. Wolfe tried desparately to free |
|
|
|
Tone, arguing that, because he was not a member
of the English forces, he was not subject |
|
|
|
to court-martial. Three times he attempted to
serve a writ of habeas corpus, but each time the |
|
|
|
authorities refused to act upon it - they were
determined that Tone would hang. In the end, |
|
|
|
Tone took the matter out of their hands by
committing suicide. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding Wolfe's efforts on Tone's
behalf, Tone's death raised the anger of the rebels |
|
|
|
to a frenzy and Wolfe began to worry about
assassination. For a period he deserted his home |
|
|
|
and lived in Dublin under constant armed
protection. Eventually, he tired of this life and resumed |
|
|
|
living in his own house. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In July 1803, after failing to seize Dublin
Castle, Robert Emmet's rebels rioted in the Thomas |
|
|
|
Street area of Dublin. As the riot grew, a
coach containing Wolfe (who had now been created |
|
|
|
Viscount Kilwarden), his daughter and his
nephew, the Rev. Henry Wolfe, turned into Thomas |
|
|
|
Street. With a wild howl, the mob surged
towards it. Kilwarden was dragged from the carriage |
|
|
|
to the ground where rebels stabbed him
repeatedly with a pike. The Rev. Henry Wolfe sought to |
|
|
|
escape, but he too was piked to death.
Fortunately, one man in the mob was able to rescue |
|
|
|
Wolfe's daughter, who ran to Dublin Castle to
raise the alarm. When the soldiers arrived to |
|
|
|
|
disperse the rebels, Kilwarden was still alive,
but died soon after. He was true to his principles |
|
|
|
even in death, his dying words being, 'Murder
must be punished, but let no man suffer for my |
|
|
|
death but by the laws of his country.' |

John Wodehouse, 2nd Earl of Kimberley |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prior to his succession to the earldom in 1902,
the 2nd Earl of Kimberley was known by the |
|
|
|
courtesy title of Lord Wodehouse. Based on his
actions during the general election of 1895, |
|
|
|
he seems to have been quite a robust political
campaigner, and a rabid anti-Conservative. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
During that general election, the candidates
for the constituency of the Eastern Division of |
|
|
|
Norfolk were Robert John Price in the
Gladstonian Liberal interest and the famous author, |
|
|
|
|
Henry Rider Haggard, in the Conservative
interest. The electors of the constituency returned |
|
|
|
Price with a majoroty of 198 votes (4606 to
4408), but not before a number of violent incidents |
|
|
|
had occurred, as is illustrated in the
following report, which appeared in the 'Manchester Times' |
|
|
|
of 2 August 1895:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A number of summonses were heard at Smallburgh
Police-court, on Tuesday, in the petty |
|
|
|
|
sessional division of Tunstead and Happing,
Norfolk, arising out of the proceedings at the East |
|
|
|
Norfolk election. The principal case was one in
which Lord Wodehouse, eldest son of the Earl of |
|
|
|
Kimberley, was charged with assaulting John
Gaymer, builder, of North Walsham, on July 17, and |
|
|
|
William Saul, a drover, was charged with aiding
and abetting him. There were also charges |
|
|
|
against 15 other persons of throwing stones and
assaulting the police at Ludham and Stalham, |
|
|
|
on July 19. There were summonses against two
other persons, who had absconded. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The prosecution against Lord Wodehouse was
conducted by Mr. Poyser, and Mr. F. Lowe |
|
|
|
|
appeared for the defendant. Mr. Poyser dwelt on
the fact that Lord Wodehouse was on the |
|
|
|
commission of the peace [i.e.he was a Justice
of the Peace], and had absolutely forgotten what |
|
|
|
was due to his position, affording an example
which had been followed, to the lasting disgrace |
|
|
|
of Norfolk. Counsel then proceeded to detail
the circumstances of the assault, and said when |
|
|
|
Mr. Gaymer was standing on a chair at North
Walsham, and speaking, Lord Wodehouse ordered |
|
|
|
him to come down, called him a liar, a hound,
and a coward, and then challenged him to fight |
|
|
|
for £50. Subsequently he pulled him off the chair. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'John Gaymer, the complainant, said he was
presiding at a meeting being held in the North |
|
|
|
|
Walsham Market-place. While he was standing on
a chair, making a speech, Lord Wodehouse, |
|
|
|
pushing himself up to the front, said,
"Come down, you miserable hound; if you don’t I will pull |
|
|
|
you down;" adding, "I never say a
thing I don’t mean." Witness
dared him to do it, and |
|
|
|
|
continued speaking. Lord Wodehouse then seized
him by the coat and pulled him down from |
|
|
|
the chair. Had it not been that he fell on the
shoulders of the man standing near he must have |
|
|
|
been hurt. On remounting the chair, witness
said, "I shall not run away, as Sir William Harcourt |
|
|
|
did from Derby, and I shall continue my
speech." Lord Wodehouse then went murmuring and |
|
|
|
growling away. After a minute or two he came
back, and offered to nfught prosecutor for £50. |
|
|
|
Having finished his address Mr. Gaymer said
that if Lord Wodehouse would get on the chair |
|
|
|
|
and apologise, nothing more would come of the
incident, but if not, there would be a |
|
|
|
|
prosecution. Defendant merely replied, "I
shall not apologise." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Several witnesses were called to corroborate
Mr. Gaymer's statement. They added that Saul |
|
|
|
was with Lord Wodehouse, and said, "Now's
the time, my lord; go in," whereupon Lord |
|
|
|
|
Wodehouse pulled Mr. Gaymer off the chair. Mr.
Lowe, in defence, said the assault, if an |
|
|
|
|
assault, was only a technical one, and not of
an aggravated nature, and ought to be buried in |
|
|
|
oblivion after the election. If an expression
of regret would end the case, he would be glad to |
|
|
|
offer it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A magistrate suggested that the case should be
sent to the Quarter Sessions. The magistrates, |
|
|
|
after consulting half-an-hour, said they had
decided to convict. The redeeming feature of the |
|
|
|
case was the fact that no actual violence was
committed, but it might have led to considerable |
|
|
|
violence. Lord Wodehouse would be fined £3 7s.
6d. and costs (£1 12s. 6d.) and Saul was fined |
|
|
|
1 and costs (£1 12s. 6d.). On hearing the
decision Saul said, "I will do time." Lord Wodehouse: |
|
|
|
"No; I will pay for you." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not surprisingly, the 'Pall Mall Gazette'
reported on 9 September 1895 that Lord Wodehouse had |
|
|
|
been "removed from the bench, which, as he
has so lately shown so marked a preference for the |
|
|
|
dock, appears a very natural and considerate
attention." |

John Wodehouse, 4th Earl of Kimberley |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kimberley was very proud of his title as
Britain's "most married peer." He commenced his |
|
|
|
|
campaign in October 1945 when he married Diana
Legh, whose father, Sir Piers Legh, was |
|
|
|
|
Master of the Household to King George VI. They
were divorced in 1949. Next, he married |
|
|
|
|
in February 1949, Carmel June Dunnett (nee
Maguire), but they were divorced in 1952. |
|
|
|
|
In September 1953, there followed Cynthia Abdy
Collins; this marriage lasted until they |
|
|
|
|
were divorced in 1961. He married his fourth
wife, Margaret Simons in July 1961, the marriage |
|
|
|
ending in divorce in 1965. He then waited a
further five years before marrying again, this time |
|
|
|
to Gillian Ireland-Smith, in August 1970. Once
again, this marriage ended in divorce in 1982. |
|
|
|
As his sixth, and last, wife he married Sarah
Consett in August 1982. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He had children by his second, third and fourth
wives. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
His wife count enabled to him to stay in front
of his close rivals for the title, the 7th Baron |
|
|
|
|
Lilford and the 6th Baron Waterpark, both of
whom had a mere five wives. |

The Barony of Kingsale and their privilege of
leaving on their hats in the presence of |
|
|
|
the sovereign |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to tradition, the Barons of Kingsale
have the right to remain covered in the presence |
|
|
|
of the sovereign - i.e. they are allowed to
wear their hats when everyone else has to remove |
|
|
|
theirs. Some sources treat this story as being
apochryphal, but it appears that the right was |
|
|
|
exercised until at least the time of George
III. There are a number of versions of the story as to |
|
|
|
how the family earned this prerogative, and the
stories also differ as to when it was first |
|
|
|
|
granted, although all of the stories place the
event either in the reigns of Henry II or John. The |
|
|
|
following version of the story appeared in 'The
Royal Cornwall Gazette' on 11 December 1890:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'During the reign of Henry II, tradition says
that on some difference breaking out between the |
|
|
|
courts of England and France, a French champion
arrived in London to demand satisfaction. The |
|
|
|
far-famed prowess of this hero of the lance and
plume spread an unusual terror; the English |
|
|
|
people were panic-stricken, and the alarm of
the court was not only increased by this panic, but |
|
|
|
by the difficulty of providing a knight to
accept the challenge. England had no St. George to |
|
|
|
encounter this Hector of France. The dilemma in
which the court found itself having transpired, |
|
|
|
the challenger lost all respect for the
country, and the heart of Henry II was agonised at the |
|
|
|
insolence of his exultation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'While France and her champion chuckled at
England's embarrassment, one of the nobles of Henry |
|
|
|
recollected that a knight named De Courcy, who
resided in Ireland, was reputed of amazing |
|
|
|
courage and strength, and of infinite skill
both at the lance and sword. He hastened to his royal |
|
|
|
master with the information; the matter was
proposed and discussed in council, and, more from |
|
|
|
curiosity than from expectation, De Courcy was
sent for. Shortly after, without knowing for what |
|
|
|
he was summoned, he arrived at the palace of
Henry II in his native habiliments, without heraldic |
|
|
|
bearings or retunue, John De Courcy, of
Kingsale, a man endowed by nature with a fine athletic |
|
|
|
person, and a noble and commanding countenance.
When he was told what was expected of |
|
|
|
him, with a modest cautiousness, he requested
to see the hero of France, who was accordingly |
|
|
|
introduced to him bedecked with all the
splendour of his court, thus forming a singular contrast |
|
|
|
to the plainness of his proposed antagonist.
The Frenchman conducted himself with an insulting |
|
|
|
hauteur, the Irishman himself with the greatest
indifference. Each took the other's dimensions |
|
|
|
and the parties adjourned "for further
consultation." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'When De Courcy was asked in confidence if he
would accept the challenge, he declined giving |
|
|
|
an answer until he should procure from home a
certain sword. The King sent for it forthwith, |
|
|
|
De Courcy remaining at the palace of Henry,
being entertained with all due respect. At length |
|
|
|
arrived this sword of expectation; it was to
all appearance no more than the unornamental, |
|
|
|
simple sword of a warrior. But the moment this
talismanic weapon was presented to its owner, |
|
|
|
he requested that an immense block of wood
sould be placed in the tilt yard, and that the |
|
|
|
|
champion of France should be summoned
forthwith. As before, the knight of Gaul could scarcely |
|
|
|
forbear rudeness and ridicule; the Hibernian
was polite, reserved, and composed. Expectation |
|
|
|
was now excited to see the mystical
preparations of De Courcy unriddled. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Whan all was arranged and silent he drew forth
his sword from the scabbard, and with one |
|
|
|
tremendous blow he wedged it into the block
like a thunderbolt. "The man," said he - looking |
|
|
|
significantly on the King - "The man who
shall with one hand draw out that sword I will |
|
|
|
|
acknowledge as conqueror." Then, turning
to the champion of France, politely requested him |
|
|
|
to hand him his sword. The boaster was
confounded - stammered, stepped forward towards |
|
|
|
the block - and retreated. A laugh broke forth
from the spectators. All cried, "Draw forth the |
|
|
|
sword." Overwhlemed with shame and
confusion, the glittering knight not only refused to do so, |
|
|
|
but declined a single combat with John De
Courcy. An universal shout of joy and exultation rent |
|
|
|
the square. John De Courcy was declared to be
champion of England. When the submission of |
|
|
|
the foreigner was complete, for the
gratification of his curiosity he did attempt with one hand |
|
|
|
to extricate the blade from the block. He might
as easily have drawn the poles through the |
|
|
|
earth, but to the consternation and amazement,
and to the delight of Henry and his nobles, |
|
|
|
De Courcy drew it out with the greatest ease. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The grateful monarch instantly conferred upon
this champion of England he title of Baron of |
|
|
|
Kingsale, and bid him name the reward that
should be appended to his dignity; when this |
|
|
|
|
extraordinary man, with romantic
disinterestedness, claimed, instead of a pecumiary |
|
|
|
|
compensation, to be distinguished above other
noblemen. He requested permission that the |
|
|
|
De Courcys should wear their hats in the King's
presence. The privilege was granted and it is |
|
|
|
enjoyed by the family to this day. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In proportion as this noble-minded man was
proud, generous, Henry was liberal and |
|
|
|
|
condescending. His munificence was not to be
counteracted by the delicate pride of his subject. |
|
|
|
On the departure of Lord Kingsale, his Majesty,
in private conference, commanded him, when he |
|
|
|
should arrive at his home, to mount his horse
some morning at sunrise and to take possession |
|
|
|
of so much land as he could ride round before
sunset. When the Baron returned, comformably |
|
|
|
to the King's command, he did mount his horse
at sunrise, on a certain day, for the purpose of |
|
|
|
measuring an estate, but too convivial to be
provident, he stopped at the house of a friend, |
|
|
|
staying to dine, and, insteaf of thinking of
acres and of watching the sand of time, chatted over |
|
|
|
the bottle till darkness told him that the sun
and the fortune of De Courcy had set together.' |

Edward King, Viscount Kingsborough (courtesy
title of the Earldom of Kingston) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Edward King was the son of George King, 3rd
Earl of Kingston. He was born 16 November 1795 |
|
|
|
and, after a boyhood spent in Ireland, was
educated at Exeter College, where he gained a |
|
|
|
|
degree in classics. He immediately entered
Parliament as MP for county Cork, serving between |
|
|
|
1818 and 1826. He then gave up politics and
every sort of pleasure and pastime, including |
|
|
|
|
marriage, in order to devote himself to the
proposition that the lost tribes of Israel were to be |
|
|
|
found in Mexico. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
His interest had been aroused in Oxford when he
came across a manuscript called the Mendoza |
|
|
|
Codex. Not long after the Spanish conquest of
Mexico, this manuscript had been captured at |
|
|
|
sea by the French and had found found its way
to Paris, where it had been purchased by the |
|
|
|
chaplain to the English embassy. Two hundred
years later, it turned up in the Bodleian Library |
|
|
|
in Oxford, where the sight of it fired
Kingsborough with enthusiasm for Mexico and its past. |
|
|
|
|
Although he never visited the country, he was
inspired to undertake the colossal task which |
|
|
|
was to last his lifetime. He decided that he
would trace other Mexican documents that had |
|
|
|
found their way to Europe, and to assemble them
in a self-published series of volumes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thereafter, his researches turned up material
in the royal libraries of Paris, Berlin and Dresden, |
|
|
|
in the Imperial Library in Vienna, in the
Borgia museums and in the Vatican. However, his |
|
|
|
|
compilation was always going to be sadly
incomplete, since he never went to the country that |
|
|
|
would have been his richest source - Spain.
This, however, was not a problem, since he never |
|
|
|
intended that his work should be one of
scholarship. It could not be, by definition, since he had |
|
|
|
no knowledge of the languages in which the
documents were written, nor did he have any |
|
|
|
|
knowledge of the background which the documents
described. All he cared about was to |
|
|
|
|
demonstrate his passionate belief that a colony
of Jews had been settled in America long before |
|
|
|
the age of Columbus. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first of the massive volumes entitled Antiquities of Mexico appeared
in 1830, followed by |
|
|
|
another seven equally massive volumes at yearly
intervals, concluding with two volumes |
|
|
|
|
published posthumously. The enterprise, which
cost Kingsborough £32,000, was not a |
|
|
|
|
commercial success. His obsession cost him his
fortune, and perhaps his life. After spending all |
|
|
|
his money on the project, debts began to accrue
and he was arrested for debt and thrown into |
|
|
|
the Sheriff's Prison in Dublin, where he died
of typhus. Had he lived another couple of years, he |
|
|
|
would have succeeded to the Earldom of
Kingston, with its income of £40,000 a year. |

From 'The Times' of 18 December 1797:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The conduct of Col. Fitzgerald in seducing his
relative, and the consequent duel with her |
|
|
|
|
brother, are fresh in the memory of the Public;
we shall therefore limit our observations to the |
|
|
|
circumstances which immediately preceded and
occasioned his death. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The deceased feeling no remorse for the
dishonour in which he had involved an illustrious |
|
|
|
|
family, had the hardihood to follow the young
Lady to Ireland, it is supposed with a view to |
|
|
|
wrest her by violence from her parents, and
took lodgings at an inn in Kilworth. He had been |
|
|
|
there some days before his arrival at Kilworth
was known, or the object of his expedition was |
|
|
|
discovered. He was observed to walk out in the
night, and conceal himself in the day, and the |
|
|
|
servants at length noticed him lurking about
Mitchelstown-house, at unseasonable hours. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The intelligence having reached Lord
Kingsborough [courtesy title of the Earls of Kingston - |
|
|
|
although the use of this title in The Times
report does not appear to be correct], who had had |
|
|
|
the duel with the Colonel, and resolved to
defeat his antagonist's project, he left his father's |
|
|
|
house, and repaired to Kilworth, where having
enquired for the Colonel, he was directed to the |
|
|
|
apartment in which he was lodged. Lord
Kingsborough rapped at the door, requiring admittance; |
|
|
|
the other, knowing his voice, replied that he
was locked in, and could not open the door, but if |
|
|
|
he had anything to say to him, he would receive
it in writing under the door. |

'This enraged the young Nobleman, and he forced
open the door, and running to a case of |
|
|
|
pistols in the room, desired the Colonel to
take one and defend himself, for he was resolved to |
|
|
|
have satisfaction for the scheme the deceased
had formed against his sister, and which he |
|
|
|
came to this place to put in execution. On both
seizing the pistols, they grappled with each |
|
|
|
other, and were struggling, when the Earl of
Kingston, who had been apprised of his son's |
|
|
|
|
departure in pursuit of the Colonel, and
quickly followed the young Lord, entered the room, and |
|
|
|
finding them in the contest, and that his son
must lose his life from the situation the deceased |
|
|
|
had him in, the Earl fired and the Colonel fell.' |
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Earl was later tried by his peers for the
murder of Colonel Henry Fitzgerald, but no prosec- |
|
|
|
ution witnesses took the stand. In addition, it
was clear that the Earl had the public's support |
|
|
|
and he was found not guilty on 18 May 1798. The son [the young Nobleman
referred to in The |
|
|
|
Times report], was also tried [at the Cork
Assizes, since he was a commoner at the time] and |
|
|
|
he too was found not guilty. The son was later
created Baron Erris of Boyle on 29 December |
|
|
|
1800 and Viscount Lorton on 28 May 1806, both
in the peerage of Ireland. |

A more detailed account of the affair appeared
in the Australian monthly magazine "Parade" in |
|
|
|
its issue for December 1955:- |

|
|
|
|
|
|
'Though Ireland was aflame with civil war,
Dublin society gaily put aside its troubles in May, 1798, |
|
|
|
to enjoy to the full an astounding story of
seduction and murder. Robert, Earl of Kingston, head |
|
|
|
of one of the proudest families, was on trial
for his life for slaying the man who betrayed his |
|
|
|
daughter. Claiming his right to be tried by his
peers, Lord Kingston had demanded to be arraigned |
|
|
|
before the Irish House of Lords. The trial, the
last to be heard by the Irish Lords and staged in a |
|
|
|
blaze of mediaeval pomp, climaxed the greatest
scandal of the century. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'For a year the affairs of the Earl of Kingston
had provided sensational tit-bits for gossips and |
|
|
|
scandal sheets of England and Ireland. The
Earl's trial was the cause celebre of his generation. |
|
|
|
Public opinion was overwhelmingly on his side.
The House of Lords acquitted him after scarcely a |
|
|
|
pretence of a hearing. He died a year later
from the shock of the scandal. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Robert King, second Earl of Kingston, was born
in 1754. Until his father died late in 1797, he was |
|
|
|
known as Viscount Kingsborough. In 1769, he
increased his already vast family estates in County |
|
|
|
Cork by marrying the heiress of Richard
Fitzgerald, of Mount Offaly, County Kildare. The |
|
|
|
|
Kingsboroughs had six sons and five daughters
of their own. In an evil moment, the Viscount |
|
|
|
agreed to rear also young Henry Gerard
Fitzgerald, an illegitimate son of Lady Kingsborough's |
|
|
|
brother, who no doubt thought that but for the
stain on his name much of the vast estates |
|
|
|
would have been his. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In 1797, Henry Fitzgerald was a colonel in the
British Army, a handsome, dissolute ne'er-do-well, |
|
|
|
married but openly unfaithful. He was an
inveterate gambler, continually rescued from the threat |
|
|
|
of a debtor's prison by his adopted father,
Lord Kingsborough. Among the Kingsborough daughters |
|
|
|
Lady Mary Elizabeth King, 19-years-old,
romantically-minded and fascinated by her dashing army |
|
|
|
cousin. Fitzgerald, with an eye on part of the
family estates, paid court to her. Despite the stain |
|
|
|
on his birth and the fact that he was already
married, Mary fell passionately in love with him. |
|
|
|
Viscount Kingsborough at first suspected
nothing. Colonel Fitzgerald, gorgeous in his braided |
|
|
|
Hussar uniform, continued to be a welcome guest
at the family's London home near Richmond. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In June, 1797, Lady Mary disappeared, leaving
a note that she intended to throw herself into the |
|
|
|
Thames. Her bonnet and shawl, found on the
muddy tow-path by the river, suggested she had |
|
|
|
carried out her threat. Lord Kingsborough,
however, was suspicious. He thought it curious that |
|
|
|
the gallant colonel had also disappeared. His
doubts were strengthened when a postboy reported |
|
|
|
he had seen a young woman resembling Lady Mary
King with a military gentleman in a carriage |
|
|
|
bound for London. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Kingsborough hurried to London, Through the
newspapers, he offered a large reward for |
|
|
|
|
information about his missing daughter. The
offer quickly bore fruit. A servant from a Kennington |
|
|
|
lodging house called to say she believed Lady
Mary was staying under an assumed name at the |
|
|
|
house, where she was visited frequently by an
army officer. In the midst of this recital, |
|
|
|
|
Fitzgerald coolly walked into Kingsborough's
house to inquire solicitously about the missing girl. |
|
|
|
He was immediately recognised by the
lodging-house servant, and fled without attempting to |
|
|
|
justify himself. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Kingsborough, seething with rage, dashed in
his carriage to Kennington to recover his daughter. |
|
|
|
Despite her tearful protests, she was dragged
from the house and packed off hastily to |
|
|
|
|
Mitchelstown, the palatial Kingston family
mansion in County Cork. The scandal of the fake |
|
|
|
|
suicide and elopement was soon buzzing round
the clubs, salons and coffee houses of London. |
|
|
|
Colonel Fitzgerald, dunned by creditors and
furious at being baulked of his prey, outraged his |
|
|
|
fellow-officers by drunken threats and
bragging. He talked wildly of plots to rescue Mary from her |
|
|
|
"prison" in Ireland, and swore
vengeance on her "tyrannical" father, Lord Kingsborough. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In September,1797, Lady Mary's brother,
Captain Robert King, decided that family pride could |
|
|
|
stand no more. By his friend, Robert Wood, he
sent a challenge to Fitzgerald demanding a duel |
|
|
|
with pistols near the magazine in Hyde Park, at
dawn on October 1. When Robert King and Wood |
|
|
|
arrived at the park, they found Fitzgerald
waiting, without a second. The colonel explained angrily |
|
|
|
that he had been unable to find a friend to
accompany him "because of the odium cast on his |
|
|
|
name." Wood insisted that no duel could
take place unless each party had a second. Robert and |
