Francis
John Lascelles (29 Dec 1871-9 May 1925) and Eric James Lascelles (2

1873-24 Jun 1901), the two youngest sons of the

|

|
|
|
|

|
Francis John Lascelles |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From the "Chicago Daily Tribune" of 4 June
1901:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
Hon. Francis J. Lascelles, son of the fourth Earl of Harewood, and half
brother to the present |
|
|
|
Earl,
and also cousin of Sir Frank Lascelles, Ambassador to Germany, is the central
figure in a |
|
|
|
tragedy which has cast a gloom over the town of
Golden, B[ritish] C[olumbia]. Mr. Lascelles' |
|
|
|
servant is dead, shot by his master, and
Lascelles himself has been committed to an asylum as |
|
|
|
a raving maniac, another victim to the
loneliness and dreary monotony of an isolated existence |
|
|
|
among the mountains in the uninhabited interior
of British Columbia. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lascelles
is a tall and distinguished looking Englishman with engaging manners. He
inherited a |
|
|
|
fortune from his mother, and the present Earl,
his [half]-brother, advised him to live the life of a |
|
|
|
country gentleman in far off British Columbia.
Lascelles did not find ranching in this province the |
|
|
|
dream it was pictured to him, but being a man
of means and enterprise he established many |
|
|
|
mining and transportation companies, putting up
most of the cash to float them. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A
few months ago Lascelles was summoned by the police magistrate of Golden for
some trivial |
|
|
|
cause, and on returning expressed his extreme
annoyance at being served with a writ. He called |
|
|
|
the act of the authorities an outrage, and this
was the beginning of the end. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Always
harping on this subject the man grew morose and surly. Lascelles lived along
with two |
|
|
|
Canadian farmers and two servants, and this
little family was isolated from the world. One of his |
|
|
|
companions was Fred Kimpton, the other John
Lambert. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After
dinner last night [2 June] Lascelles spoke to his companions of the lasting
disgrace on his |
|
|
|
good name caused by his being dragged into a
police court to give evidence, and, suddenly going |
|
|
|
into his sleeping-room, he seized his rifle and
shouted to his companions: "I will count five, then I |
|
|
|
will shoot the first man I see." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lambert
and Kimpton rushed from the house, and as they fled from the room they heard
the |
|
|
|
ominous counting in a loud voice: "One,
two, three, four." The last number was lost in the report |
|
|
|
of the rifle, and Lascelles' servant dropped
dead not far from where his companions were hiding. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lambert
and Kimpton fled on their horses, followed by Lascelles' other servant, and
the three |
|
|
|
made a mad gallop for town. As they fled into
the darkness they heard Lascelles denouncing his |
|
|
|
dead servant as a traitor and shouting that all
his foes would perish thus. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At
midnight Lascelles' companions returned with a posse of police. The house was
surrounded, |
|
|
|
and
with great nerve Lambert walked unarmed to Lascelles' room, sat down beside
the maniac, |
|
|
|
and, engaging him in conversation, suddenly
seized his rifle. The rest was easy. Lascelles was at |
|
|
|
once conveyed to an asylum as a dangerous lunatic.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lascelles'
detention in the asylum on this occasion cannot have been for too lengthy a
period, |
|
|
|
since
in 1905 he was married. However, he appears to have spent many years
thereafter under |
|
|
|
the care of doctors for mental illnesses.
Eventually, such illness culminated in his suicide in May |
|
|
|
1925, as reported in "The Scotsman"
of 12 May 1925:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A
verdict of "suicide while of unsound mind" was recorded by the
Coroner at the inquest yester- |
|
|
|
day on the Hon. Francis John Lascelles,
half-brother to Lord Harewood, and uncle of Princess |
|
|
|
Mary's husband, Viscount Lascelles, who was
found shot at his residence, Lee House, Romsey, |
|
|
|
Hampshire, on Friday. The brief proceedings
were conducted in the dining room of Lee House. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
Coroner, who had not a jury to assist him, sat an antique mahogany table, on
which were |
|
|
|
arranged bunches of narcissi. Had it not been
for the presence of the police and the fact that |
|
|
|
the
double barrel gun which figured in the tragedy was noticed in the room, it
would have hard |
|
|
|
to believe that an inquest was taking place in
the heavily carpeted room. The widow was in the |
|
|
|
house but was not called. |
|
|
|
|

'The
Hon. William Horace Lascelles, a brother, identified the body. His brother,
he said, was 54 |
|
|
|
years of age in December 1924, and the witness
last saw him alive about ten years ago. His |
|
|
|
brother had suffered mentally for years, and
had been in a mental home. Aqs far as witness knew |
|
|
|
he had not threatened to commit suicide
recently. The witness added that his brother was of no |
|
|
|
occupation, being a man of independent means. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr
A.G. van Someren, of Romsey, said he had known the deceased about six years,
and had |
|
|
|
attended him in 1922 for a mental breakdown. He
was removed to an asylum and came out appar- |
|
|
|
ently cured. Since then the witness had not
attended him, though he had seen him from time |
|
|
|
to time. He seemed to be well and to be able to
take an interest in things, but he was very shy |
|
|
|
and retiring. Witness saw the body on Friday
morning about eight o'clock. There was a gunshot |
|
|
|
wound over the right eye. The gun was fixed on
the table, and witness said from the position of it |
|
|
|
that the would was self-inflicted. Witness
added that he had never known any suicidal tendencies |
|
|
|
in the deceased. The method of arranging the
gun showed a certain amount of premeditation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Are
you satisfied his mind was unsound at the time? - Yes. He probably felt his
mind was going |
|
|
|
again. He probably felt he was going to have
more mental trouble, and knowing him as IU do, I |
|
|
|
think he committed suicide to avoid it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Annie
Keamish deposed to finding the body. Deceased was lying on the floor. There
was a pool |
|
|
|
of blood on the floor. She informed the other
servants and went for assistance. There was no |
|
|
|
difficulty in opening the door. None of them
heard any noise on the night before the body was |
|
|
|
found. Witness waited on the deceased at
dinner. He dined alone. He then appeared in his usual |
|
|
|
health, and she did not see him again that evening. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
Coroner - What was his usual health? - He was always very quiet and, I think,
nervous. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sergeant
Daw, of the Hampshire police, said he found the gun fixed to the leaf of a
table. The |
|
|
|
barrels were resting on a wooden mallet and a
piece of cloth. Tied to the right trigger was a rod. |
|
|
|
One barrel contained an empty cartridge case.
It was quite possible for anyone seated in the |
|
|
|
chair to discharge the gun by pushing the rod.
Witness searched the house, but could find no |
|
|
|
letter or message. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
Coroner said there was sufficient evidence of insanity to return a verdict
that the deceased |
|
|
|
committed suicide while of unsound mind. He had
no doubt that deceased felt the onset of |
|
|
|
|
further symptoms, but he (the Coroner) was sure
that his mind must have been in such a state |
|
|
|
that he could not have been really responsible.' |

Eric James Lascelles |

From the "Cheltenham Chronicle and
Gloucestershire Graphic" of 29 June 1901 [edited]:- |

|
|
|
|
|
|
'On
Wednesday was reported the death of a showman known as Eric Leith under such
circum- |
|
|
|
stances as to necessitate a coroner's inquiry,
and inquiries which we at once made led us to |
|
|
|
believe
that he was none other that the Hon. Eric James Lascelles, son of the late
Earl of |
|
|
|
|
Harewood, a surmise which has since been proved
correct. Deceased was extremely well |
|
|
|
|
connected, having as blood relations members of
very many leaders in society. He was the young- |
|
|
|
est son of the late Earl by a second marriage,
so that he is half-brother to the present Earl of |
|
|
|
Harewood. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Deceased
was of aristocratic appearance, and could not hide from his youthful
companion who |
|
|
|
drove the horses in his caravan that fact that
"Eric Leith" was an assumed name, and that he was |
|
|
|
not a showman of the usual type. It now
transpires that he only adopted this nomadic life as a |
|
|
|
hobby, for he was a man of independent means,
receiving an allowance through the family |
|
|
|
|
solicitors
of something like £25 a week, and with his two-horse van journeyed from
village to |
|
|
|
village, giving picture exhibitions on village
feast-days and at country fetes, with but occasional |
|
|
|
visits to his friends. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'About
this time deceased took once more to intemperate habits, with the result that
after the |
|
|
|
van reached Willersey on Sunday, he became ill
and called in medical advice. Dr. Standring found |
|
|
|
him suffering from the after-effects of drink
and prescribed for him, but before the doctor could |
|
|
|
reach him after being sent for again death had
taken place. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
inquest was held at Willersey on Thursday afternoon. Evidence of
identification was given |
|
|
|
by a gentleman names Mr. Henry Stephens, who
said the body was that of the Hon. Eric James |
|
|
|
Lascelles.
He had no fixed place of abode, but during the winter he stayed at witness's
house at |
|
|
|
Woking. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For
the last two years he had been carrying on the business of a travelling
showman, and was |
|
|
|
proprietor
of a van and two horses, with which he went about the county. He was 28 years
of |
|
|
|
age, and witness last saw him alive three weeks
ago at Woking. He was then in his usual health, |
|
|
|
which
was fairly good, but at times he gave way to intemperance. He had independent
means, and |
|
|
|
travelled
more a s a hobby than of necessity. The last time witness saw him, deceased
said he |
|
|
|
was staying at Kineton, in Warwickshire, under
the assumed name of Eric Leith. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Harry
Belcher, a youthful labourer, whose home is at Kidlington, an Oxfordshire
village, said |
|
|
|
deceased came to the village while on tour with
his show about six weeks ago and engaged him |
|
|
|
as
driver. They journeyed together to Banbury and thence to Kineton, where they
remained about |
|
|
|
a fortnight. They next went to Fenny Compton,
and then returned to Kineton for three or four |
|
|
|
days, afterwards leaving for Shipston-on-Stour
and went to Willersey to attend a village wake on |
|
|
|
the following day. Deceased seemed all right up
to Monday morning, but he then complained of |
|
|
|
cramp in his legs, and vomited. He remained in
the van all day and was attended by Dr. Standring, |
|
|
|
afterwards taking two doses of the medicine
prescribed for him. He got worse during the day, |
|
|
|
and had several fits, so that in the evening
Dr. Standring was again summoned, but before |
|
|
|
|
the following day. Deceased seemed all right up
to Monday morning, but he then complained of |
|
|
|
doctor's arrival death had taken place. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr.
Charles James Standring, a surgeon, said when he first saw the deceased on
Monday morning |
|
|
|
he was vomiting, his eyes were bloodshot, his
pulse was weak, and the skin cold and clammy. |
|
|
|
Deceased told him he had been drinking too much
for about six weeks. Witness prescribed for him, |
|
|
|
and gave directions as to his treatment, and
arranged to see ham again in the evening. Between |
|
|
|
seven and eight o'clock a messenger arrived
from deceased with an urgent summons, and witness |
|
|
|
at
once went to Willersey, but found death had just taken place. On Wednesday
witness made a |
|
|
|
post-mortem examination of the body, which bore
no signs of violence and was free from any |
|
|
|
symptom of poisoning, but the stomach and liver
were diseased and the brain was softening. The |
|
|
|
cause of death was a succession of epileptic
fits, accelerated by alcoholic intemperance. There |
|
|
|
was cirrhosis of the liver and gastritis, which
accounted for the vomiting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Police-Supt.
Frederick Jones spoke of the steps he had taken to establish the identity of
the |
|
|
|
deceased, which was done by means of letters
found upon the body. The sum of £2 12s 3d was |
|
|
|
found in a drawer in the van. |

One of the great Regency dandies and an
intimate of the Prince Regent, Harrington [who was |
|
|
|
known under the courtesy title of Viscount
Petersham until 1829] was in a position and of a |
|
|
|
disposition
to set fashion rather than to follow it. He had a passion for brown,
inspired, it is |
|
|
|
thought, by his love for a charming widow of
that name; his entire equipage - horses, carriage |
|
|
|
inside and out, and liveries for driver and
out-riders - was of that colour. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He lent his name to the Petersham greatcoat and
the Harrington hat, which, with its tapering |
|
|
|
crown and square brim turned up at the sides,
enjoyed a brief vogue before passing into well- |
|
|
|
deserved
obscurity. When he was a neophyte in the world of fashion, Petersham took
the |
|
|
|
|
trouble to cut out all his own clothes to
ensure a proper fit. He also made his boot blacking |
|
|
|
to a secret recipe believed to contain
champagne. As he grew older he dressed to accentuate |
|
|
|
what he thought was a strong resemblance to
Henry IV. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Petersham never went out of his house before
six in the evening. His days were occupied with |
|
|
|
his
collections of teas, snuffs and snuff boxes, of which he was a connoisseur.
Captain Gronow, |
|
|
|
that marvellous Regency gossip, described
Petersham's sitting room as "more like a shop than a |
|
|
|
gentleman's sitting room. All around the walls
were shelves, upon which were placed the |
|
|
|
|
canisters containing congou, pekoe, souchong,
bohea, gunpowder, Russian, and many other |
|
|
|
teas, all the best of their kind; on the other
side of the room were beautiful jars; with names in |
|
|
|
gilt letters, of innumerable kinds of snuff,
and all the necessary apparatus for moistening and |
|
|
|
mixing." Petersham had a snuff box for
every day of the year and firm ideas about how they |
|
|
|
ought to be used. Of one, a light-blue box of
Sevres porcelain, he said, "Yes, it is a nice summer |
|
|
|
box, but it would not do for winter wear." |

Maria Foote, Countess of Harrington, wife of
Charles Stanhope, 4th Earl of Harrington |
|
|

|
|
|
|

The following biography of the Countess of
Harrington appeared in the December 1968 issue |
|
|
|
of the Australian monthly magazine "Parade":- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In May 1814 Miss Maria Foote made her first
stage appearance at London's Covent Garden. It |
|
|
|
was a triumph, with the audience rising to its
feet at the performance's end and cheering the |
|
|
|
lovely 17-year-old until the theatre shook.
Next day one enraptured critic described her as a |
|
|
|
"a pure and innocent beauty, the most
delicate hand-maiden of our comedy, the loveliest of |
|
|
|
sufferers in our tragedies." Having thus
overnight fame the beautiful Maria went on a titled- |
|
|
|
husband safari with no holds barred. One lover
followed another as she sought the man of her |
|
|
|
dreams. The result was that 10 years later the
"pure and innocent beauty" had become the |
|
|
|
subject of pamphlets that besmirched her moral
character and accused her of all kinds of sordid |
|
|
|
relationships. Most of the accusations were
true and for that reason her reputation remained in |
|
|
|
tatters for years to come. Yet this notoriety
did not stop her achieving the childhood ambition - |
|
|
|
the acquisition of a noble husband - and when
she died at the age of 70, her contemporaries |
|
|
|
remembered the Countess of Harrington only as a
woman of charming graciousness and dignity. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Maria Foote, the actress in search of a title,
was born at Plymouth on July 24, 1797, the |
|
|
|
|
daughter of a spendthrift who had been an army
officer but was then manager of a travelling |
|
|
|
theatre. At 13 the child possessed such
precocious beauty and charm that at the end of each |
|
|
|
stage performance under her father's management
she stayed in her dressing-room until Captain |
|
|
|
Foote
had chased the stage-door-johnnies from outside the theatre. By 1814 the girl
had |
|
|
|
|
gravitated to London consumed by the desire to
first make her mark in the theatre, then use her |
|
|
|
fame and other obvious assets to catch a
nobleman in marriage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A year after her triumph at Covent Garden and
when her name was on the lips of every London |
|
|
|
theatregoer she travelled to Cheltenham where
she met Colonel William Berkeley, central figure |
|
|
|
in a long and sensational lawsuit. [For further
information on this case, see the note under the |
|
|
|
Berkeley peerage]. When Maria learned that the
colonel would probably inherit the earldom of |
|
|
|
his dead father despite a claim by his younger
brother Thomas that he was illegitimate, the young |
|
|
|
actress
at once smelt a title. She went into the affair enthusiastically and within
days of her |
|
|
|
first meeting with Colonel Berkeley they had
become lovers. Now all she had to do was await |
|
|
|
settlement of the title dispute and lead
Berkeley to the altar. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'But it did not turn out that way, for although
the case had been going on for several years when |
|
|
|
Maria
and Berkeley became lovers, it was destined to continue on for many years
before the |
|
|
|
aging colonel abandoned his claim. Meanwhile,
passionately in love with the fascinating actress, |
|
|
|
Berkeley organised a benefit performance for
her in Cheltenham and insisted on playing one of the |
|
|
|
leading roles himself. After that Berkeley
installed Maria in a villa on the Thames at Richmond and |
|
|
|
spent
his time between the arms of his youthful lover and the London lawyers who
were looking |
|
|
|
after his title claim interests. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Maria bore the colonel two children. She
continually broached the matter of marriage but seemed |
|
|
|
to accept his excuse that wedding was out of
the question until the earldom was his. By 1821 |
|
|
|
when
Maria Foote was 24 it was obvious to her that she would never be the Countess
of |
|
|
|
|
Berkeley. Already the House of Lords had
decreed that William had been born illegitimately and |
|
|
|
had awarded the title to Thomas. But Thomas
regarding the finding as a slight on his mother's |
|
|
|
honour and had refused the title. So the case
had gone back to the Lords for more years of |
|
|
|
wrangling. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The loss of the title was only one reason why
Maria decided to abandon Berkeley. Another was |
|
|
|
that the colonel was spending less time with
his lawyers in London and more with the courtesans |
|
|
|
of the theatre. The end came finally when the
pair fought bitterly over the colonel's unfaithful- |
|
|
|
ness and Maria's almost irrational desire for
social prestige. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
''In mid-1821 the dazzling beauty returned to
the London stage where packed houses at Covent |
|
|
|
Garden and Drury Lane received her with
thunderous applause. She was back in her element with |
|
|
|
a constant round of social activities and the
ever present queues of young blades begging for the |
|
|
|
honour of escorting her to yet another wild
function. But as far as Maria was concerned it was |
|
|
|
always the same - the blue-blooded admirers had
no money while the wealthy had no titles. After |
|
|
|
a season in London she toured Edinburgh and
Dublin giving her favours in return for gifts of money |
|
|
|
and jewellery. But none seemed willing to pay
his debt by conferring a title on the lovely actress |
|
|
|
through marriage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It was about this time that Maria fell head
over heels in love with the notorious Joseph Haynes, |
|
|
|
who was known as Pea Green from the vivid
colour of his splendid coat. Apart from being a rake |
|
|
|
Haynes was London's leader of fashion, an
amateur poet and a man of great personal attraction. |
|
|
|
And if he had no title at least he had a
personal income of about £100,000 a year. In quick time |
|
|
|
Haynes had installed Maria Foote as his
mistress and was boasting that he was "lord of the angel |
|
|
|
of the British
stage." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'By now Maria had decided to forgo a title in
exchange for a husband with £100,000 a year. But |
|
|
|
when
she put the proposal she got the shock of her life. Haynes was not
interested. Apart from |
|
|
|
that he point blank refused to allow Maria's
two children by Colonel Berkeley to visit them at his |
|
|
|
ancestral estate in Wiltshire. Realising that
Haynes was treating her as little more than a common |
|
|
|
harlot, Maria flew into a rage and issued a
writ for £10,000 against her former lover for breach of |
|
|
|
promise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'But Haynes was far from beaten. Calling all
his male friends to his aid, Pea Green contacted |
|
|
|
pamphleteers and had them prepare booklets
which his friends would distribute in London. The |
|
|
|
little publications shocked even the city which
was accustomed to such literary outrages, for in |
|
|
|
them the writers accused the famous actress of
all kinds of unsavoury indiscretions. Meantime, |
|
|
|
Maria Foote had not been inactive for she too
had rallied her friends who also began distributing |
|
|
|
pamphlets
listing many of Pea Green's moral failings. Most were hair-raising. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Now the battle intensified when the warring
parties hired choirs of ballad singers to chant the |
|
|
|
indecent allegations outside the stage door
where Maria was appearing and at the entrance to |
|
|
|
the West End club where Haynes was tippling. It
was no wonder then that when the breach of |
|
|
|
promise suit came to court half of London
(split into partisan groups) surrounded Westminster Hall |
|
|
|
cheering or jeering according to their
inclinations. At one stage the Lord Chief Justice was on the |
|
|
|
point of sending for a company of Dragoons when
Bow Street officials charged into the brawling |
|
|
|
mob
with batons and drove it off the streets. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After a two-day hearing Maria was awarded
£3000, but it did her little good for Haynes was a |
|
|
|
bitter
man dedicated to vengeance. During her first reappearance at Drury Lane
Hayne's |
|
|
|
|
supporters filled the pit and boxes spent the
entire performance hissing and booing her. Following |
|
|
|
that fiasco Maria travelled to Bath to escape
her former lover's hatred. Her premiere performance |
|
|
|
in that city was on the night of January 14,
1826, as was to develop into the most terrifying |
|
|
|
experience of her theatrical life. From the
start to the end of the first act not a word could be |
|
|
|
heard from the stage as the Haynes group booed,
shouted obscenities, stamped their feet and |
|
|
|
waved canes and hats in the air. Finally the
lovely Maria broke down. She burst into tears and |
|
|
|
fled the stage leaving Pea Green to march in
triumph from his box to his waiting carriage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Nevertheless
she still had her supporters who admired her courage if not her morals
and |
|
|
|
|
accepted her as the most gifted Shakespearian
actress in Britain. Apart from that she had an |
|
|
|
exceptionally fine singing voice, was a
talented dancer and played the piano, harp and guitar |
|
|
|
with professional skill. When, she first
appeared in Paris she became the city's idol overnight. |
|
|
|
From 1826 to 1830 Maria Foote travelled
thousands of miles in Britain performing before admiring |
|
|
|
audiences. Suitors still begged for her favours
but there remained a scarcity of titled lovers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In 1830 she was 33 but perhaps more beautiful
than ever. It was then that Charles Stanhope, |
|
|
|
Earl of Harrington, chanced to attend one of
the notorious Miss Foote's Nottingham perform- |
|
|
|
ances. One look at the ravishing creature on
the stage and the earl was hopelessly in love. For |
|
|
|
six months he followed her from one British
town to another as she continued her tour. Maria |
|
|
|
was
in Birmingham when at last she won the earl's promise to marry her. Only then
did she |
|
|
|
become his mistress. On March 11, 1831, she
made her farewell stage appearance. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Just three weeks later she achieved her
lifelong ambition - she became, as the Countess of |
|
|
|
Harrington, a member of the British nobility.
Nor was the countess unduly concerned when she |
|
|
|
discovered her husband was a man of strange
eccentricities. For instance in memory of Mary |
|
|
|
Browne,
the mistress he had discarded to marry Maria, he insisted all his servants
should wear |
|
|
|
brown livery. Even his coaches and the horses'
harnesses were varnished brown, while the |
|
|
|
|
coachmen's top hats were glazed with the same
colour. [For more information about his eccent- |
|
|
|
ricities, see the preceding note]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Then in 1837 Queen Victoria ascended the
throne. The gay, abandoned Regency era was over. |
|
|
|
Dissoluteness was no longer the mark of good
breeding. For people with a past like the Countess |
|
|
|
of Harrington the royal court was closed.
Almost overnight Maria found herself an outcast |
|
|
|
|
condemned to the isolation of her husband's
estate while the rest of the nobility strutted like |
|
|
|
dignified peacocks before the Queen. Inwardly
the Earl of Harrington seethed at this treatment |
|
|
|
of his countess and it was obvious to Victoria
that the nobleman resented her sanctimonious |
|
|
|
attitude. He got the opportunity to express his
feelings when the Queen once told him that she |
|
|
|
would like to visit his ancestral castle at
Elvaston. Harrington did not mince words. He said the |
|
|
|
castle was closed to the public but if the
Queen wished to put her request as a command he |
|
|
|
would have no alternative but to obey. Victoria
had to accept the snub and she never did visit |
|
|
|
Elvaston. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Earl of Harrington died in 1851 leaving
his wife to survive him for 16 years. She died on |
|
|
|
December 27, 1867, a still-lovely and gracious
old lady. Only a few of her contemporaries |
|
|
|
|
remembered her scandalous past. And those who
could not remember revered her.' |

Charles Joseph Leicester Stanhope, 10th Earl of
Harrington |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Earl died as a result of injuries received
in a hunting accident. The inquest into his death |
|
|
|
was reported in the London "Daily
Telegraph" of 19 November 1929:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A
verdict of death by misadventure was returned at the inquest yesterday on the
Earl of |
|
|
|
|
Harrington,
who met his death while hunting on Saturday with his own pack of hounds
at |
|
|
|
|
Holbrook. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
inquest was conducted by Mr. A.N. Whiston in the library of Elvaston Castle. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'William
Bridges, licensee of the Cross Keys Inn, Turnditch, said that about 12.45
p.m. on |
|
|
|
|
Saturday he was near Holbrook Park, watching
the hounds. They lost the scent, and then |
|
|
|
|
picked it up, and went on into another field
near Holbrook Park Hall. As they did so a wall and |
|
|
|
gate separated Lord Harrington from the other
members of the hunt. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Then his lordship jumped the wall,"
said Bridges, "but his horse struck the top of the gate, |
|
|
|
|
which was seven yards beyond. The horse turned
a somersault, and all three, rider, horse, and |
|
|
|
gate came down together. I rushed up to Lord
Harrington. He recognised me, and said, "Oh, |
|
|
|
my God!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Bridges
added that the horse was not out of hand. "It took the wall
splendidly," he said. "If |
|
|
|
he had not got too close to the gate he would
have jumped it." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr.
Robert Gordon Morrison, of Duffield, stated that he was following the
Harrington hounds |
|
|
|
on foot, and saw the fall. "The horse and
the rider crashed down, and the man was dragged |
|
|
|
about ten yards. His left foot was caught in
the stirrup." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
coroner pointed out that a previous witness had said that Lord Harrington
cleared the wall, |
|
|
|
but not the gate. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I heard him," said Dr. Morrison,
"but I thought his lordship came through the gate. I am certain |
|
|
|
about it." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lady
Harrington and others came up. Lord Harrington was unconscious. He was
carried on a |
|
|
|
gate to a house. Lord Harrington had fractures
of both clavicles and bruises to the front of his |
|
|
|
neck. About five minutes after he was taken to
the house his breathing became worse and he |
|
|
|
died.
The cause of death was cerebral haemorrhage, following a fracture of the base
of the |
|
|
|
skull. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr.
Morrison added, "My theory is that he was dragged along and that the
horse stood on him |
|
|
|
or kicked him. That was the cause of his
serious injuries. I do not see how they could have |
|
|
|
|
been
caused by an ordinary fall, not even by a fall on the head. His injuries were
consistent |
|
|
|
with the horse's hind foot having struck him on
the chest and possibly on the jaw." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Bridges,
recalled, said that he was on low ground when the accident happened, and
Dr. |
|
|
|
|
Morrison's version of the affair might be correct. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
coroner, recording a verdict of death by misadventure, said that it was a
very sad and |
|
|
|
distressing accident. He expressed sympathy
with Lady Harrington in her grievous loss. "Lord |
|
|
|
Harrington," said Mr. Whiston, "was
not only a great sportsman, but he was an English gentle- |
|
|
|
man in the truest sense of the word. He will be
mourned by all who had the privilege of knowing |
|
|
|
him. He was a skilful horseman, but this
accident only shows that even the best of horsemen |
|
|
|
are not immune from dangers in the hunting field." |

Henry Weysford Charles Plantagenet
Rawdon-Hastings, 4th Marquess of Hastings |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hastings was only nine when he succeeded to the
marquessate and the debt-encumbered |
|
|
|
|
estates of his ancestors. However, enough
remained to preserve the 200-room Donington |
|
|
|
|
Hall in Leicestershire in splendour and provide
a fitting education for a young aristocrat. At |
|
|
|
|
Eton, he was a wild and uncontrollable boy. At
Oxford, he blossomed into a young dandy |
|
|
|
|
whose foppish dress and zest for the pleasures
of low life created numerous scandals. His |
|
|
|
|
favourite cronies were bruisers, jockeys and
loose women, but his bravado and exquisite |
|
|
|
|
manners also won him admirers among the
university's youthful students, including one |
|
|
|
|
whose fate was to inextricably interwoven with
his own. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Henry Chaplin had no ancient name or title, but
he had just inherited 25,000 acres in |
|
|
|
|
Lincolnshire, and his boundless extravagance
had earned him the nickname of 'the Magnifico'. |
|
|
|
He had captivated the young Prince of Wales,
then a student at Oxford, and was to become |
|
|
|
a leading figure in the Prince's notorious
Marlborough House set. Chaplin in turn was fascinated |
|
|
|
by what he called Hasting's 'aristocratic
blackguardism' and by the time the pair left Oxford |
|
|
|
in 1863 they were close friends. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the summer of 1863 Hastings and Chaplin
entered London society. Also making her debut |
|
|
|
that season was Lady Florence Paget, youngest
daughter of the Marquess of Anglesey. |
|
|
|
|
Although some people felt that Lady Florence
was too small and fragile to be considered |
|
|
|
|
really beautiful, for the most part, the male
habitués of the fashionable drawing-rooms |
|
|
|
|
of London thronged about 'the Pocket Venus' as
she soon came to be called. Henry Chaplin |
|
|
|
was infatuated with her and, since Lady
Florence appeared to encourage him, a brilliant |
|
|
|
|
match between wealth and nobility was
confidently predicted. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hastings,
on the other hand, was considered to have no chance with Lady Florence,
since |
|
|
|
his reputation was one of the lowest in
society. He moved in the lowest of circles and it |
|
|
|
|
soon became common knowledge that night after
night, Hastings, with a bodyguard of thugs, |
|
|
|
presided over orgies in the lowest London
slums. One of his favourite diversions was rat-killing, |
|
|
|
when dogs were set onto hundreds of sewer-rats
collected in a wooden enclosure surrounded |
|
|
|
by seats for the spectators. Other diversions
included cock-fighting, bare-knuckle boxing and |
|
|
|
opium dens. Eventually, even the most
ill-reputed venues barred his presence. When he was |
|
|
|
banned from Mott's Dance Hall, he took his
revenge by ordering his slum cronies to round up |
|
|
|
200 sewer rats, which he then carried in sacks
to the dance hall where he disconnected the |
|
|
|
gas supply, plunging the hall into darkness,
before liberating the rats. Two elderly toffs died |
|
|
|
of heart failure in the pandemonium of
squeaking rats and screaming women that followed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How and when he won the heart of Lady Florence
Paget was a secret that both parties took |
|
|
|
to the grave. According to one rumour, Hastings
had seduced her and made her his mistress |
|
|
|
soon after first meeting her. A more romantic
story suggested that Lady Florence determined |
|
|
|
to reform the Marquess and simply drifted into
a liaison that she did not have the strength or |
|
|
|
will to break. Whatever the truth, it was
generally accepted that Lady Florence would marry |
|
|
|
Chaplin
and on 20 June 1864, their engagement was officially announced. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the morning of 16 July 1864, Chaplin drove
his fiancée to Marshall and Snelgrove's |
|
|
|
|
fashionable shop on Oxford Street. Lady
Florence entered the shop while Chaplin waited in |
|
|
|
|
his carriage. After an hour, there was no sign
of Lady Florence, so Chaplin entered the shop |
|
|
|
to look for her, but she was nowhere to be
seen. She had slipped out a side entrance and |
|
|
|
|
joined Hastings, who immediately drove her to
St. George's Church in Hanover Square where |
|
|
|
the two were married, before departing for
Donnington Hall. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Outraged society immediately closed its doors
on the couple and marvelled at the placidity |
|
|
|
|
of Chaplin, who appeared to take his
humiliation in good humour. In other times, he and |
|
|
|
|
Hastings would have fought a duel, but Chaplin
set out to destroy Hastings by other means. |
|
|
|
Both young men were members of the Jockey Club
and both had built up strings of horses. |
|
|
|
|
Chaplin now set out to ruin Hastings by means
of the turf, and during the next four years |
|
|
|
|
the
clashes between Hastings' scarlet and white colours and Chaplin's pale blue
provided |
|
|
|
|
society with wild excitement. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hastings collected £75,000 when his horse,
Ackworth, won the 1865 Cambridgeshire but |
|
|
|
|
then lost it all backing his entries against
Chaplin's during the rest of the season. It was |
|
|
|
|
Chaplin's famous black gelding, Hermit, who
finally ruined Hastings in the Epsom Derby run |
|
|
|
|
in blinding rain and sleet on 22 May 1867.
Shortly before the race, Hermit became ill and |
|
|
|
|
drifted in the betting to 66/1 while Hastings
frantically took the odds from every backer of |
|
|
|
|
the horse he could find. When Hermit won the
race, the Marquess owed £120,000 - more |
|
|
|
|
than half of it to Chaplin. Hastings was forced
to beg for time to pay, meanwhile selling |
|
|
|
|
all his Scottish estates to the Marquess of
Bute and raising another mortgage on Donnington |
|
|
|
Hall. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By mid-1868, Hastings was all but bankrupt and
so racked with pain from a kidney disease |
|
|
|
|
caused by his debaucheries that he could
scarcely walk. Even Chaplin was moved to pity |
|
|
|
|
for the wreck of his rival. When Hastings died
in November 1868, aged only 26, the title |
|
|
|
|
of Marquess of Hastings died with him. Eighteen
months after his death, Lady Florence |
|
|
|
|
married Sir George Chetwynd, fourth baronet -
she died in February 1907, aged 64. |
|
|
|
|
Chaplin entered Parliament in 1868 and remained
there, with one short interval, until 1916. |
|
|
|
|
During this period he was on several occasions
a cabinet minister and was created Viscount |
|
|
|
Chaplin in 1916, dying in 1923. |
