Corrections:
- The picture I used for Oxford is actually of his relative the 15th Earl of Oxford (this one was the 13th), but since I could not find a contemporary image of him at the time I made this, you will forgive me for using that one. The only contemporary image of him I have found is this one: https://www.geni.com/photo/view/6000000000741669262?album_type=photos_of_me&photo_id=6000000019069939044
