Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond, (born July 29, 1672, London—died May 27, 1723, Goodwood,Sussex, Eng.), son ofCharles IIofEnglandby his mistress Louise de Kéroualle, duchess of Portsmouth. He was aide-de-camp to William III from 1693 to 1702 and lord of the bedchamber to George I from 1714 to 1723.
Lady Caroline Lennox married Henry Fox, 1st Baron Holland
Charles James Fox, (born Jan. 24, 1749,London, England—died Sept. 13, 1806, Chiswick, Middlesex [now in Hounslow, London]),Britain’sfirst foreign secretary (1782, 1783, 1806), a famous champion of liberty, whose career, on the face of it, was nevertheless one of almost unrelieved failure. He conducted against KingGeorge IIIa long and brilliant vendetta; for this reason he was almost always in political opposition and, in fact, held high office for less than a year altogether. He achieved only two important reforms, steering through Parliament a resolution pledging it to abolish theslave tradespeedily and, in the 1792Libel Act, restoring to juries their right to decide not merely whether an allegedly libellous article had, in fact, been published but also whatconstitutedlibel in any given case and whether or not a defendant was guilty of it.
Fox was the third son of Henry Fox, afterward 1st Baron Holland, by his wife, Lady Caroline Lennox, daughter of the 2nd duke of Richmond.
Lady Emily Lennox (1731-1814)married Lieut.-Col. James Fitzgerald, 1 st Duke of Leinster.
Lord Edward Fitzgerald, (born Oct. 15, 1763, CountyKildare, Ire.—died June 4, 1798,London, Eng.), Irish rebel who was renowned for his gallantry andcourage, who was a leading conspirator behind the uprising of 1798 against British rule inIreland.
Lord Edward Fitzgerald was born the younger son of James Fitzgerald, Duke of Leinster, and his wife Emily, the daughter of the Duke of Richmond. He arrived in Ireland as an infant and attended school there under the instruction of William Ogilvie. After the death of his father in 1773, Edward's mother took her children and Ogilvie (her lover) to France. Lord Edward began his military career in 1776, transferring regiments several times in his early years. After serving in America, he returned to Ireland and was elected member of parliament for the borough of Athy in Kildare. He aligned himself politically with his cousin, Charles James Fox, and a group of Irish patriots. During the 1780s Fitzgerald traveled a great deal and gradually became more interested in revolutionary politics. His marriage in 1792 to the daughter of French radicals signals to many the cementing of his radicalism. He returned to Ireland in 1793 and became involved in revolutionary circles. In 1796 he traveled to Hamburg with Arthur O'Connor, seeking French assistance for an Irish rebellion. Upon his return, he formally joined the Society for United Irishmen and was the group's most experienced militarist. In 1797, Fitzgerald made the mistake of trusting half-hearted radical Thomas Reynolds, who betrayed Fitzgerald and the Leinster Directory to the police. Fitzgerald fled and lived in hiding for a time before his dramatic capture in May 1798. Lord Edward was wounded and imprisoned in Newgate Gaol. An attempt was made to rescue him before the outbreak of the rebellion, but it failed. In prison his wounds became infected and he died in his cell on June 4, 1798.
Charles Lennox, 3rd duke of Richmond, (born February 22, 1735,London, England—died December 29, 1806, Goodwood, Sussex), one of the most progressive British politicians of the 18th century, being chiefly known for his advanced views on parliamentary reform.
总感觉故事还没有说完
婚姻,是贵族女子最重要的事,前面四集基本都围着她们各自的婚姻这个主题,后面两集是人世变迁。就四姐妹的爱情婚姻故事,国产剧能拍上八十集。
到后来是挺乱的,当时的贵族小姐一声唯一重要的任务就是嫁给另外一个贵族,可她们还是各种搞砸啊
竟然从年轻演到老。。。真是没想到。。。不过还不错。
真事改编的华丽贵族生活。最后集爱尔兰民族运动到来,画风急转。洪流推动一个家族的悲欢离合,四姐妹相守扶持,性格不同命运不同,live long,love much,剩下回忆飘到历史的浮云中去,louisa真是小天使,最美sarah可惜遇人不淑,没人觉得国王眼睛大大的可萌了么
最后两集不换人就好了
受感染的是人文气息~ 貌似历史也是真实的诶
最难抵消的就是时光荏苒给人的触动和感慨
演四妹的演员没选好,但她的戏份我觉得最有故事性,可惜演员演得太呆了,就好像面瘫一样。二姐夫有爱,各种像冯远征……
时代,命运,爱情
这是自我感觉过于良好的一家子
爱与习惯,期待与疲倦。回忆苍老,没有人不在悲壮中走完。
最大的姐姐真的好自私。
回忆过去,痛苦的相思忘不了。有时候长命真是让人很痛苦的事,因为你要不断送走那些你爱的人。如果你想了解英国贵族之间是如何婚嫁的看这部剧一定能满足你,如果你想了解英国上流社会的鸡毛小事这个也能满足你,如果你想看一部儿女情长家长里短的英国年代剧,这个是再合适不过了。
果然还是最爱emily
最后一集让半脸盲的我看地很痛苦。。。。
强烈推荐
又是BBC推出的古典宫廷剧。。富贵浮云贵族生活的跌宕起伏传奇人物必有传奇人生。。除了演员不是很漂亮外其他都蛮喜欢。。四女儿中还是二女儿嗲。。继续ing。。
"This I shall not allow" I thought I would love Caroline; it turned out I like Emily and Sarah
一部有关爱与责任,又不少风流轶事的家庭剧
