			William Frederick le Poer-Trench, 5th Earl of Clancarty and
			his wife, Isabel Maude Penrice Bilton, Countess of Clancarty
			Belle, as she was always known, was born in 1866, the daughter of a recruiting sergeant in the
			British Army. At the age of 14, she first appeared on stage with her younger sister, Florence, in
			a pantomime at the Garrison Theatre, Woolwich. As luck would have it, there they were
			'discovered' by a theatrical agent who happened to be present. Within a short time, the Bilton
			Sisters were headline acts in the world of variety.
			Unfortunately for Belle, she met and became the mistress of a confidence trickster who called
			himself 'Baron de Loanda' but whose real name was Alden Weston. The law finally caught up
			with him in March 1888, when he received 18 months for conspiracy to defraud. Belle, who was
			at the time pregnant to Weston, was unable to return to the stage in her condition. Around this
			time, she met a young 24-year-old man named Isidor Wertheimer, who was the son of a well-
			known bric-a-brac dealer in Bond Street, London. The meeting ripened into a platonic friendship
			and he offered her the help she needed, housing her in his country cottage and paying for the
			doctor and nurse when her baby was born. In gratitude, and somewhat naively, she named the
			child ''Isidor.' After the birth, her doctor recommended a holiday abroad, so the faithful Isidor
			took her to Paris where they occupied separate rooms. On their return to London, Belle set her
			up in a house at St. John's Wood, and, although he stayed there only at weekends, Isidor and
			Belle always occupied separate rooms.
			When her health had improved sufficiently, Belle returned to the stage. In April 1889, at the
			Corinthian Club, she was introduced to William Frederick le Poer-Trench, Viscount Dunlo and
			heir to the Earldom of Clancarty. Dunlo was infatuated immediately and after three months'
			wooing, they were married in a secret ceremony at a Hampstead registry office on 10 July
			1889. In order to keep the marriage secret, they parted immediately after the ceremony, but
			Dunlo's ardour overcame his discretion and he booked a honeymoon suite at the Hotel Victoria.
			Inevitably, gossip came to the ears of the press and the secret marriage became known.
			Dunlo's father reacted very badly to this news, denying hotly that his son had married. When
			it became obvious that such was the case, he cut off his son's allowance. The old Earl had,
			before the wedding had taken place, arranged for Dunlo to undertake a trip around the world
			and Dunlo, who appears to have been a weak and easily dominated man, now left his wife at
			home while he undertook the planned journey.
			The Earl set a host of private detectives to spy on Belle and to gain, or manufacture, evidence
			of marital infidelity. She had to leave her lodgings because her fellow lodgers complained of
			constant interference from the detectives. Her landlady later testified that she could not have
			led a more blameless life. Even Alden Weston, by now out of prison, could not provide any
			ammunition for the detectives. Weston was soon back in custody, this time for forging cheques
			in the name of Isidor Wertheimer.
			The faithful Isidor again came to her aid and installed her in his house at St. John's Wood again,
			but he did not stay in that house.
			The Earl then began a suit for his son's divorce, which commenced in the Probate, Divorce and
			Admiralty Court on 23 July 1890. Belle denied that she had ever been Isidor's mistress and, when
			asked how her position differed from that of a mistress, she replied with dignity, 'I was living
			under his protection, but I was not living with him. That is the difference.' Not one particle of
			incriminating evidence against Belle was produced and it was shown that, at all times, she had
			conducted herself blamelessly. In defiance of his father, Dunlo testified that his love for his
			wife was as strong as ever and that he wanted her back. After six days of hearings, and after
			only 15 minutes' consideration by the jury, Belle was completely exonerated.
			The Earl suffered greatly from the contempt of the public for his actions and the press was
			bitter in its denunciation of him. He died within a year - some said as a result of his continued
			vindictiveness - having again cut off Dunlo's allowance. Belle again became the breadwinner,
			returning to the stage, but, on the death of her father-in-law, she left the stage for the final
			time and moved with her husband to the family estates at Garbally Court in county Galway. Here
			she gave birth to four children and endeared herself to the local Irish countryfolk for her works
			of charity.
			But tragedy loomed - she was diagnosed with cancer and, although she fought the disease for
			three years, she died on 31 December 1906, aged only 40, being universally mourned by the
			entire county. 'On the day of the funeral,' says a contemporary newspaper report, 'all business
			was suspended as a mark of respect and every blind was drawn along the line of route. From
			an early hour the tenantry and neighbours began to assemble before the house; and shared
			between them the sad task of carrying the coffin on their shoulders a distance of three miles
			to the family vault.'
			After his wife's death, Clancarty's luck does not appear to have changed for the better. Within
			a month of his wife's death, he was a passenger in a car which hit and killed a pedestrian (the
			driver was charged with manslaughter, but found not guilty), and within six months he had been
			declared a bankrupt by the courts in Dublin. This bankruptcy appears to have taught him no
			lessons in fiscal responsibility, for he was again bankrupted in September 1910.
			The faithful Isidor Wertheimer appears to have died early in 1893, aged only 29. My assumption
			is that he was part of the family of either Charles or Asher Wertheimer, who were both very
			prominent in the world of art in the early part of the 20th century.
			For further information, see 'Romances of the Peerage' by Horace Wyndham (Eveleigh Nash &
			Grayson, London, 1930) which contains a full account of the divorce proceedings.
			William Francis Brinsley le Poer-Trench, 8th Earl of Clancarty
			Clancarty was educated at the Nautical College, Pangbourne in Berkshire. He later sold
			advertising space for a gardening magazine. Clancarty claimed that he could trace his ancestors
			back to 63,000 BC, when beings from another planet had landed on Earth in spaceships. Most
			humans, he maintained, were descended from these aliens. No other theory could account for
			the variety of shapes, sizes and skin colours to be seen on the streets of South Kensington,
			where he lived. However, not all of these aliens came from space - some emerged through
			tunnels from a civilization that still existed beneath the Earth's crust. Altogether, there were six
			or seven of these tunnels, one at each of the Poles and others in places such as Tibet. The
			Earl admitted that 'I haven't been down one of these tunnels myself, but from what I gather,
			these beings are quite advanced.'
			Clancarty wrote a number of books under the name of Brinsley le Poer Trench concerning UFOs,
			including The Sky People, The Flying Saucer Story and Secrets of the Ages. From 1956 to 1959
			he edited The Flying Saucer Review and later founded the International Unidentified Object
			Observer Corps and Contact International. He served as vice-president of the British UFO
			Research Association and was an honorary life member of the Ancient Astronauts Society.
			Edward Barry Stewart Bingham VC, son of the 5th Baron Clanmorris (26 Jul 1881-
			24 Sep 1939)
			Bingham was awarded the Victoria Cross in 1916 for his actions during the naval Battle of Jutland.
			The following report appeared in 'The Weekly Irish Times' of 9 December 1916:-
			Commander the Hon. Edward Barry Stewart Bingham, R.N., when he won the Victoria Cross in the
			Battle of Jutland, was the third son of Lord and Lady Clanmorris, of Bangor Castle, Co. Down, and
			Creg Clare, Ardrahan, Co. Galway, but since then he has been bereaved by the death of his
			father, which took place on Saturday, 5th November, at Bangor Castle. Commander Bingham is
			one of the few naval officers who have gained the coveted honour during the present war. The
			official record his  gallantry is as follows:-
			"For the extremely gallant way in which he led his division in their attack first on enemy
			destroyers and then on their battle cruisers. He finally sighted the enemy battle fleet, and
			followed by the one remaining destroyer of his division (Nicator), with dauntless courage he
			closed to within 3,000 yards of the enemy in order to attain a favourable position for firing of
			torpedoes. While making the attack, Nestor [Bingham's ship] and Nicator were under concentrated
			fire of the second batteries of the High Sea Fleet. Nestor was subsequently sunk."
			It was initially thought that Bingham had gone done with his ship, but he was rescued by the
			Germans and spent the rest of the war as a POW. After his release, he continued to serve in the
			Royal Navy, retiring as a Rear Admiral in 1932.
			The special remainder to the Earldom of Clanricarde
			From the "London Gazette" of 6 January 1801 (issue 15326, page 40):-
			"His Majesty has been pleased to grant the following Dignities to the Noblemen hereafter named,
			and the Heirs Male of their respective Bodies lawfully begotten, viz.......To John Thomas Earl of
			Clanricarde, the Dignity of Earl of Clanricarde, of the County of Galway, and in Default of Issue
			Male, the Dignity of Countess of Clanricarde, of the County of Galway, to the first and every
			other Daughter of the Body of the said John Thomas Earl of Clanricarde, as they shall be in
			Priority of Birth and Seniority of Age, and the Dignity of Earl of Clanricarde, of the County of
			Galway, to the Heirs Male of [the] body of such first and every other Daughter lawfully issuing
			in the like Successions according to Priority of Birth and seniority of Age."
			John Charles Henry FitzGibbon, styled Viscount FitzGibbon, son of the 3rd Earl of Clare
			(2 May 1829-25 October 1854)
			There appears to be absolutely no doubt that Viscount FitzGibbon, son and heir of the 3rd Earl of
			Clare, was killed in the Charge of the Light Brigade on 25 October 1854. However, in 1877, a
			number of newspaper reports suggested that a claimant had appeared who stated that he was
			the missing man. The following report appeared in the "Lancaster Gazette" of 21 November 1877,
			reprinted from the "Yorkshire Times" :-
			'One or two reports have gained currency to the effect that Lord FitzGibbon, who was supposed
			to have been killed in the Balaklava Charge, had returned to England, he not having been shot
			dead, but taken prisoner, and, for an insult to a Russian officer, sent to Siberia. It has also been
			stated that since his return he had paid a visit to the Hounslow Barracks, where his regiment,
			the 8th Hussars, is stationed, and that Colonel Mussenden and Quartermaster-Sergeant-Major
			Hefferon (formerly Lord FitzGibbon's servant) had identified him. Enquiries have been made as to
			the truth of the statement relating to the visit to the barracks, and the reply was that no
			person representing himself as heir to the title of Lord Clare had been there. Moreover,
			Quartermaster-Sergeant-Major Hefferon and the late Trumpet-Major Grey, who were in the C
			Troop of the 8th Hussars when Lord FitzGibbon took the place of Lord Cardigan's Aide-de-Camp
			(Captain Lockwood), and led the troop down to the ever-memorial charge, say they were close
			to him when, not long after the commencement of the charge, they saw him struck in the
			chest almost at the same moment by two bullets: and they distinctly recollect his losing hold
			of his sword (which was prevented from falling to the ground by a strap which secured it to
			his arm), violently clasping his arms on his breast, and crying out, "Oh, my God, my God, I'm
			shot." With what they believe to have been his dying breath, he exhorted his men not to linger,
			saying to them, "Go on." Thus every one believed him to have died the death of a hero. He was
			shot directly after the death of Captain Nolan. He had £25 in cash, which was part of £50 served
			out on the morning of the charge for the C Troop. It may be added that when the soldiers came
			back, Trumpet-Major Grey and several others searched for the body, but it was never found.
			If Lord FitzGibbon is really in this country, as alleged, the officers and men of the 8th Hussars,
			who knew him, wish to know why he has been so backward in calling upon them. The officers
			who would readily recognise him and receive him with open arms are - General de Salis, Colonel
			Mussenden, and Lieutenant Harrison (late of the 8th Hussars). For the information of those who
			may come in contact with the new claimant, it can be stated that Lord FitzGibbon was tall -
			5ft 10in in height - of fair complexion, and slim stature. He had a cast in the left eye, and was
			in the habit of wearing a glass. If alive now, he would be upwards of forty years of age.'
			Apart from a letter from Lord FitzGibbon's surviving family members published in a number of
			papers which vehemently denied the rumours of Lord FitzGibbon's return, no more appears to
			have been published in relation to this claim.
			Edward Hyde, 3rd Earl of Clarendon (known as Viscount Cornbury until 1709)
			After graduating from Oxford University, Cornbury entered the Royal Regiment of Dragoons. He
			was one of the first commanders to desert King James II in 1688. He sat in the House of
			Commons for Wiltshire between 1685 and 1687 and again between 1689 and 1695, and for
			Christchurch between 1695 and 1701. In 1688, he married, in a secret ceremony, Katherine
			O'Brien, daughter of Baroness Clifton of Leighton Bromswold. Katherine became Baroness Clifton
			in her own right on the death of her mother in 1702. She died in New York in 1706 and is buried
			at Trinity Church, NY.
			Cornbury was appointed Governor of New York and New Jersey in 1701 and served until 1708.
			History has certainly not been kind to him; he has been described as a moral profligate, sunk in
			corruption and probably the worst Governor ever imposed on an American colony. He was
			accused of taking bribes and plundering the public treasury. The historian Bancroft described
			him as illustrating the worst form of English aristocracy's "arrogance, joined to intellectual
			imbecility." Later historians describe him as a degenerate and pervert who spent half his time
			dressed in women's clothes, in keeping with his role as the Queen's representative.
			However, modern scholarship suggests that Cornbury has been unjustly condemned. In her
			book "The Lord Cornbury Scandal; The Politics of Reputation in British America" (University of
			North Carolina Press, 1998), author Patricia Bonomi re-examined the allegations against Lord
			Cornbury and found them to be questionable and based on very little evidence. Much of the
			evidence upon which the allegations were made was supplied by Cornbury's enemies. She
			concludes that most of the stories surrounding Cornbury, and in particular his taste for
			cross-dressing, were written after the event and are likely to be untrue.

			The special remainder to the Barony of Clermont
			From the "Edinburgh Gazette" of 17 February 1852 (issue 6152, page 129):-
			'Her Majesty's Letters-Patent have passed the Great Seal, granting the dignity of Baron of this
			part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to Thomas Fortescue, Esquire, and the
			heirs-male of his body lawfully begotten, by the name, style, and title of Baron Clermont, of
			Clermont and Dromiskin, in the County of Louth, and on failure thereof, to his brother, Chichester
			Samuel Fortescue, Esquire, and the heirs-male of his body lawfully begotten.'
