The Aristocracy - Born to Rule - 1 of 4 - British Aristocracy & Nobility
From 1875 to 1914, the power of Britain's "ruling class" was threatened by agricultural depression, the growth of democracy, and devastating attacks on the House of Lords. Illustrated with fascinating artifacts, photos, and commentary by the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, the Marquess of Anglesey, and others, Born to Rule recalls the era's heated political and social scene. Tales of indulgence include a spectacular costume ball to mark Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, a marquess who adorned his naked bride with jewels but never consummated his marriage, and a baronet who led daring Arctic adventures. Sir Charles Wolseley tells of aristocrats who, like himself, inherited massive debts along with their titles. His wife, an American historian, relates how impoverished noblemen married American heiresses to restore their fortunes.
