Chapter 2063 houseoflord (1)
When Georgiana came to the dock, Ludrell had already taken the guests off the boat and walked slowly towards her.
"Ah, you are Georgian." The man who had just spoken to Ludrell suddenly said with enthusiasm, "I finally saw you."
"This is the sixth Duke of Bedford." She heard a voice in her ear, but before she could tell who said it, she smiled and bowed to the Duke.
The first title of the Duke of Bedford was given to the third son John of Lancaster by Henry IV of the Lancaster dynasty before the War of the Roses. Later, during the Hundred Years' War between England and France, when Henry V fought in France, the Duke of Bedford became the regent of Lancaster's last young lord Henry VI in France.
Although Joan turned the tide of the Hundred Years' War, she was eventually burned to death as a witch, and it was the Duke of Bedford who bought her.
The Duke of Bedford has a longer history in the United Kingdom than the Royal Family of Hanover where George III is located, and their surname is Russell. The most famous descendant is the 11th Duke of Bedford. He likes animals very much. Bangsi raised a herd of elk, which later became the only surviving herd on earth.
The other is the fourth Duke of Bedford. He was the Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of the Seal of the United Kingdom. During the Seven Years’ War, he strongly advocated peace and signed the "Paris Peace Treaty". After becoming a privy secretary, he established a politics named after him. The group has existed until William Pitt Jr. came to power.
William Pitt Jr. came to power in 1783, and the fourth Duke of Bedford died in 1771. From 1771 to 1782, the Secretary of the Navy was followed by a fourth Duke of Bedford. He was appointed by the latter. From 1782 to 1783, he changed three ministers of the Navy in one year. However, he became the Secretary of the Navy in 1783. It was not a party member of William Pitt Jr. who participated in the War of Independence, but a member of the Lord North Group. member.
It was not until 1788 that William Pitt Jr. was "full of wings." At this time, the Secretary of the Navy was his elder brother, John Pitt, the second Earl of Chatham. The two brothers were able to reach this position thanks to his father William the Sr. Pete's prestige. It was not until 1794 that William Pitt Jr. truly became independent. At this time, his brother also stepped down from the post of Secretary of the Navy. The second generation of Earl Spencer took over his post as Secretary of the Navy.
But in 1801, William Pitt Jr. resigned, the Earl of Chatham lost the post of President of the Privy Council, and Earl Spencer also lost the post of Secretary of the Navy. It was the Earl of Saint Vincent who took over his post and is still Secretary of the Navy.
The earl has served in the Navy since he was 13 years old, but he ran home after only a few months as a soldier.
Not every noble master reads with his maid. Justin Finch-Fanglieli’s surname has a finch. This family is also a prominent British family, at least one of the earliest pioneers in the New World has his. ancestor.
In addition, Justin had a grandfather like that, and it was logical that he participated in Dumbledore’s Army and later the Battle of Hogwarts.
A lot of noble training is very hard. Unless you are a prince, you will have special treatment on the boat, but it is also limited to eating and drinking. Women are not allowed to go on the boat during the service.
The little Earl of St. Vincent ran home once, and was sent to another ship by his two sisters. Because he had a "prior record" as a deserter, it was not easy to find him a captain willing to accept him. This time he was sent to Jamaica, even if he wanted to run, he couldn't run.
He participated in the West Indian War, the Seven Years War, the War of Independence, and the French Revolution and cruised in Russia. However, unlike Nelson, who was good at winning wars, he was good at administration and transportation.
Since he took office, he has been investigating the corruption of the navy and the embezzlement of public funds by the Royal Shipyard. He called these people "enormousevils". Because of the internal inventory, he hopes to maintain peace with France. In his early years, he voted for William Pitt Jr. to "kill" Fox, and later he voted against some of Pitt's policies.
This time, the sixth Duke of Bedford’s family was sent to the battleship "alarm" (alarm) that he had served. Its bow was wrapped in copper, and it was shining with golden light in the sun.
"Very beautiful, isn't it?" The sixth Duke of Betaford also looked at the "Alert" and said, "I heard that it served with the Sybil in Tobago during the War of Independence."
Georgiana was taken aback.
"Although she is just a single-masted warship with 32 guns, it is far inferior to the Victory with three decks and 102 cast-iron cannons, but she is just as brave. The "Marquis" frigate drove away."
Georgiana noticed the "Royal Navy" behind him with an awkward smile.
"I believe we will have enough time for small talk later, the first ruling is waiting for us." Ledrell said from the side.
"Yes, don't let'Caesar' wait too long." The Duke said heartily, and walked forward under Ludrell's guidance.
"Don't listen to my fiance." Following the Duke, a young girl of about 20 years old said, "The Sybil was the one who drove the two frigates away. The Siren did nothing at all."
Georgiana looked at her.
"My name is Georgian, too, Georgian Gordon, the fifth daughter of the Duke of Gordon." The girl said with an arrogant smile.
"She...who is she?" Georgiana said, looking at another middle-aged woman next to Georgiana.
"She? She is my nanny." Miss Gordon looked at her strangely "Is there any problem?"
Georgiana reorganized the relationship of the "family".
Ms. Gordon, who she thought was a "daughter", was the fiancée of Bertaford, who was old enough to be her father, while the one she thought was the mother was Miss Gordon's nanny.
"Maybe she is weird, should I call you "mother" or sister." A teenager behind them said with a smile.
Miss Gordon is not angry. "Many people will get it wrong, Francis, but they will say next, your father is lucky."
Georgianna recalled who the Duke of Gordon was. The Duke of Gordon that Miss Gordon said would never be the Duke of Gordon in the United Kingdom.
After thinking about it, she figured it out. It’s okay for a “grand duke” like Bedford to marry a daughter of a “little nobleman” who is old enough to be his daughter, even if the lady’s father is also a duke.
The characteristics of the aristocratic pedigree is not to highlight titles, but to highlight prominent deeds and complicated relationships. At least the appearance of titles such as "Lancaster" and French Regent can be distinguished from aristocrats with only titles.
At present, Napoleon has not yet proclaimed himself emperor. Even if the Duke of Bedford's status is not as good as the blood prince, it is enough.
"The fifth-generation Duke did not leave an heir. He is the eldest son of Old John." Miss Gordon said calmly, "So his younger brother John Jr. became the sixth-generation Duke."
Georgina doesn’t know how to answer the conversation, is she going to say “lucky for him”?
"The former duke likes raising sheep very much, and my fiance is also very interested in agriculture. They all know Arthur Young." Miss Gordon continued, "I heard you are an agronomist?"
Georgiana looked at the "duchess".
Some people may think that marrying an old widower is a very tragic thing, even crying with red eyes the day before the wedding, but Miss Gordon is not one of them.
"I am not an agronomist, but a gardener who cares for flowers and plants." Georgiana said modestly, "Do you like roses? lady."
