|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The second Duke of Richmond is best remembered
today as the greatest patron of cricket in its |
|
|
|
early days. He is also, however, a central
character in one of the most romantic marriages of |
|
|
|
the 18th century. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 4 December 1719, at The Hague, in the
Netherlands, Lennox married, at the age of 18, Lady |
|
|
|
Sarah Cadogan, daughter of the 1st Baron (and
later 1st Earl) Cadogan. She was only 14 at the |
|
|
|
time of the marriage. At the time of this
marriage, Lennox was known by the courtesy title of |
|
|
|
Earl of March. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to the story "the second Duke
was carried off to church by his parents and married, |
|
|
|
much against his will, to Lady Sarah Cadogan,
the eldest daughter of William, Earl Cadogan. |
|
|
|
Lady Sarah was taken out of the nursery to be
married to a boy whom she hardly knew by sight, |
|
|
|
and when the ceremony was over they parted with
mutual satisfaction at the church door, the |
|
|
|
bridegroom even bursting into bitter tears at
being 'tied up for life to such a horrible fright.' |
|
|
|
Years flew by, most of which he passed upon the
Continent in completing his education, and |
|
|
|
making what was then called 'the grand tour.'
After an absence of seven or eight years, during |
|
|
|
which not a line had been exchanged between the
young couple, the husband came back to |
|
|
|
England without his wife knowing anything about
it. A night or two after his return he found |
|
|
|
his way to the opera to while away a dull
evening, and on entering the house he found every |
|
|
|
eye fixed upon a sanguinary beautiful and
elegant woman who was seated in a box immediately |
|
|
|
opposite him. Upon enquiring her name he
received the answer, 'That is the lovely Countess of |
|
|
|
March, the greatest beauty in London, and the
universal toast of the day.' The result will be |
|
|
|
easily foreseen. The fortunate owner of such a
prize was not slow in making himself known to |
|
|
|
his wife, and they fell in love with each other
at first sight." |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Charles Lennox, 4th Duke of Richmond |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lennox was one of the few people who, when
asked "Were you born in a barn?" could answer |
|
|
|
yes. Apparently, his mother, heavily pregnant
during a fishing trip, did not have time to |
|
|
|
|
reach a more orthodox birthplace. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He was one of the great benefactors of the game
of cricket, being, together with the 9th Earl |
|
|
|
of Winchilsea, the guarantors of Thomas Lord's
Cricket Ground when it opened in 1787 and thus |
|
|
|
providing the genesis of the world's best known
cricket ground. According to the Cricinfo |
|
|
|
|
website, Lennox was an accomplished cricketer
as a right-hand batsman and wicketkeeper. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 1787, Lennox was commissioned as a Captain
in the 35th Regiment of Foot, later exchanging |
|
|
|
in 1789 to a captaincy in the Coldstream
Guards. The commander of the Coldstream Guards at |
|
|
|
the time was the Duke of York, the second son
of King George III. When the Duke expressed his |
|
|
|
dissatisfaction with Lennox's appointment and
made disparaging remarks about the courage of |
|
|
|
the Lennox family (who were his political
enemies), Lennox challenged the Duke to a duel, which |
|
|
|
took place on 26 May 1789. Lennox's shot grazed
the Duke's head, whereupon the Duke fired |
|
|
|
into the air, declaring that he bore Lennox no
animosity. Notwithstanding this outcome, Lennox |
|
|
|
shortly after transferred to another regiment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lennox sat in the House of Commons for Sussex
from 1790 until he succeeded as Duke of |
|
|
|
Richmond in 1806. He was then appointed Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland in 1807, a position he |
|
|
|
retained until 1813. In 1818, he was appointed
Governor General of British North America, |
|
|
|
whence he proceeded. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main purpose of this note, however, is to
describe the Duke's horrible death from rabies. |
|
|
|
The following article is taken from 'The Times'
of 30 October 1819, being a reprint of a private |
|
|
|
letter received by that paper from Quebec:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His Grace having left this place [Quebec]
about June 24, on an extensive tour through the |
|
|
|
Canadas, after his arrival at William Henry,
135 miles up the river, whilst walking about the |
|
|
|
village with his little dog, Blucher, met a fox
about the place, with which the dog appeared |
|
|
|
sociable, and they entered into play together.
His Grace seemed much pleased, and expressed |
|
|
|
something like a wish that the fox should be
purchased. Accordingly, the hint was attended to |
|
|
|
by a servant belonging to the suite, who
purchased the fox the same night. Next morning Sir |
|
|
|
Charles Saxton, seeing the fox tied to a tent
pitched for the accommodation of the servants, |
|
|
|
and apparently much irritated from his
restrained situation under a scorching sun, desired that |
|
|
|
the animal might be removed somewhere into the
shade. He was then fixed to a wicket-gate |
|
|
|
in front of the house. His Grace, on coming out
in the morning, observing the fox, which he |
|
|
|
knew to be the same he had seen the day before,
went up to him, saying - 'Is this you, my |
|
|
|
little fellow?' and on offering to put out his
hand to caress the fox, Sir Charles Saxton touched |
|
|
|
the Duke on the shoulder to prevent it,
apprising his Grace at the same time of the irritation of |
|
|
|
the fox, and that he might bite. 'No, no,' said
his Grace, 'the little fellow will not bite me,' and |
|
|
|
putting out his hand, the fox snapped, and made
three scratches on the back of his hand, which |
|
|
|
drew blood. His Grace, quickly drawing it back,
said - 'Indeed, my friend, you bite very hard.' |
|
|
|
The next morning his Grace found an uneasy
sensation in his shoulder; but nothing further |
|
|
|
occurred till near returning on his tour, when
at the new back settlement of Perth, on the 22nd |
|
|
|
or 23rd of August, after having returned from
walking, his Grace desired his servant to make |
|
|
|
two glasses of wine and water for himself and
Major Bowles. As soon as the Duke took the wine |
|
|
|
and water, he observed to the Major, that he
felt a strange sensation on drinking it. On the |
|
|
|
way from Perth towards the Ottawa River, some
of his servants observed his irritability and |
|
|
|
extreme aversion to water on crossing the
smallest streamlets in the woods, and they could |
|
|
|
scarcely get him along. On his approaching a
small hut on the Ottawa River, rather than go |
|
|
|
into a house close to the river, he turned
short, and ran into a barn; at another time he ran |
|
|
|
from them into the woods, as if to shun the
sight of water. His disorder was now rapidly |
|
|
|
|
increasing, and on arriving within six miles on
this side of the newly named place of Richmond, |
|
|
|
after suffering most excruciating torments, he
died, at 8 o'clock on Saturday morning, the 28th |
|
|
|
of August.' |

Roberts was a Lieutenant in the Bengal
Artillery during the Indian Mutiny, during which he |
|
|
|
|
saw action for which he was later awarded the
Victoria Cross. The citation, gazetted on |
|
|
|
|
24 December 1858, reads:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lieutenant Roberts' gallantry has on every
occasion been most marked. On following up the |
|
|
|
retreating enemy on the 2nd January, 1858, at
Khodagunge, he saw in the distance two Sepoys |
|
|
|
going away with a standard. Lieutenant Roberts
put spurs to his horse, and overtook them |
|
|
|
just as they were about to enter a village.
They immediately turned round, and presented their |
|
|
|
muskets at him, and one of the men pulled the
trigger, but fortunately the caps snapped, and |
|
|
|
the standard-bearer was cut down by this
gallant young officer, and the standard taken |
|
|
|
|
possession of by him. He also, on the same day,
cut down another Sepoy who was standing at |
|
|
|
bay, with musket and bayonet, keeping off a
Sowar [i.e. a mounted soldier]. Lieutenant Roberts |
|
|
|
rode to the assistance of the horseman, and,
rushing at the Sepoy, with one blow of his sword |
|
|
|
cut him across the face, killing him on the spot.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of all the recipients of the Victoria Cross,
Roberts probably enjoyed the greatest subsequent |
|
|
|
career, becoming a Field Marshal, Commander in
Chief of the British Army, and a member of the |
|
|
|
Knights of St. Patrick and Order of Merit. When
he died in 1914, he became the first non-royal |
|
|
|
to lie in state in Westminster Hall (Sir
Winston Churchill in 1965 was the only other occurrence.) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Roberts' son, Frederick Hugh Sherston Roberts,
also won a (posthumous) Victoria Cross for his |
|
|
|
bravery at the Battle of Colenso during the 2nd
Boer War on 15 December 1899. |
