|The special remainder to the baronetcy of Vanden-Bempde-Johnstone created in 1795
|From the "London Gazette" of 20 June 1795 (issue 13789, page 646):-
|'The King has been pleased to grant the Dignity of a Baronet of the Kingdom of Great Britain to
|Richard Bempde Johnstone, of Hackness Hall in the North Riding of the County of York, Esq;
|with Remainder to his Brother Charles Johnstone, of Haverfordwest, Esq; and his Issue Male.'
|Sir John Vanden-Bempde-Johnstone, 2nd baronet
|Sir John died from injuries received in a hunting accident. According to the London 'Standard'
|of 26 February 1869:-
|'It is with great regret we record the death of [Sir John Johnstone], which took place between
|nine and ten o'clock yesterday morning at his residence in Belgrave-Square. Sir John, who was
|an enthusiastic sportsman, was out with Mr. Lowndes' hounds, at Bletchley, on Saturday last,
|when, in taking a drop fence, by some means he lost his saddle, and came down a crash on his
|shoulder, sustaining severe location and serious internal injury. Mr. Deans, surgeon, of
|Bletchley, was immediately sent for, and without delay arrived on the scene. On examination
|he pronounced the injuries to be of a very serious nature. After the skilful attention of the
|above gentleman Sir John became somewhat composed, and it was thought advisable that he
|should be removed to London. Accordingly he was conveyed by rail to his town residence,
|accompanied by Mr. Deans, arriving about 11 o'clock on Saturday night. He was placed under
|the care of Messrs. Prescott, Hewitt and Leggett, who, assisted by Mr. Deans, used every
|exertion to mitigate his sufferings, but without avail.'
|Sir Henry Mervin Vavasour, 3rd baronet
|The following article appeared in "The Washington Post" on 6 January 1913:-
|'Much money changed hands on the death last week of old Sir Henry Mervin Vavasour, of
|Spaldington, at the age of nearly 99. For some two or three years ago the fact was brought
|to light that neither the British peerage nor yet its baronetage had ever produced a
|centenarian. Sir Henry Vavasour was thereupon discovered to be the very oldest baronet,
|and was found to be so hale and vigorous that numerous bets were made, not only in his
|native county of Yorkshire, but also in London clubland, that he would safely pass the
|hundredth milestone.
|'Indeed, the wagers for and against this probability assumed altogether phenomenal proportions,
|and many of the bettors endeavored to protect themselves by taking out insurance at Lloyds,
|both against and in favor of his dying before he reached the century mark.
|'Now the bettors and Lloyds have been called upon to settle up, since the old baronet has been
|gathered to his fathers within a little more than twelve months of the goal, his baronetcy
|becoming extinct.'
|Whilst it was true that at the time of the writing of the above article no peer had ever reached
|100 years, my records show that four baronets had already achieved this feat. The following
|baronets are those who have reached their centenaries:-
|Sir John Morres, 3rd baronet (29 August 1620-26 October 1720)
|Sir Patrick Grant, 4th baronet (c 1655-10 April 1755)
|Sir Robert Grierson, 5th baronet (c 1737-8 August 1839)
|Sir Moses Montefiore, 1st baronet (24 October 1784-28 July 1885)
|Sir Fitzroy Donald Maclean, 10th baronet (18 May 1835-22 November 1936)
|Sir Brooke de Malpas Grey-Egerton, 13th baronet (19 August 1845-5 Nov 1945)
|Sir James Swinburne, 9th baronet (28 February 1858-30 March 1958)
|Sir Harry Platt, 1st baronet (7 October 1886-20 December 1986)
|Sir Alexander Frank Philip Christison, 4th baronet (17 November 1893-21 December 1993)
|Sir Jack Wolfred Ashford Harris, 2nd baronet (23 July 1906-26 August 2009)
|Dame Anne Maxwell Macdonald, baronetess [11th in line] (8 September 1906-21 April 2011)
|Sir Richard Michael Keane, 6th baronet (29 January 1909-28 December 2010)
|Sir Gilbert Simon Heathcote, 9th baronet (21 September 1913-15 April 2014)
|Sir Roger Moon, 6th baronet (17 Nov 1914-16 Oct 2017)
|Sir Daniel Patrick FitzGerald, 4th baronet (28 Jun 1916-9 Aug 2016)
|Sir Hereward Wake, 14th baronet (7 Oct 1916-
|Alice Emily Verner (12 April 1853-9 July 1908), daughter of Sir William Verner,
|2nd baronet
|Alice Verner was a central figure in a remarkable trial which held the attention of the British and
|Irish public between 1878 and 1880. The contemporary newspapers devoted a very large
|amount of space to the case, to the extent that I have been forced to limit myself to mere
|summaries of the case which appeared in Australian papers of the time. A good précis of the
|trial was published in "The Singleton Argus and Upper Hunter General Advocate" on 7 August
|'After a trial which has lasted for twenty-two days the Bagot case has ended in a verdict which
|sets aside a will and hands a great property over to a disinherited child........
|'The object of the trial was to set aside the will of Christopher Neville Bagot, who died on May
|23 last year [1877]. The youngest son of an Irish country gentleman who lived in Roscommon,
|he emigrated to Australia in 1844, and becoming a grazier, he amassed a great fortune.
|Returning to his native country a few years ago, he bought a large estate for more than a
|hundred thousand pounds. His family connections as well as his wealth brought him into good
|society. He was also a man of exceptionally rigorous intellect, and, in spite of his toilsome life
|in Australia, he retained the cultivated tastes of his youth. On the other hand, he had, it is
|said, met with some accidents during his work in the bush; his personal habits were not favour-
|able to health; he certainly drank very hard after his return to this country, and, all events, he
|was crippled and paralytic.
|'During a visit to London in July, 1873, he met at dinner Miss Alice Emily Verner, the eldest
|daughter of the late Sir William Verner, of Churchill in the County of Armagh. She was 22 [20]
|years of age when she met Mr. Bagot, and he was 50 [46]. He was so charmed with her that
|we are told that he asked her to marry him a week after they had met. She did not give him a
|definite answer at the time, but she says that she was attached to him, in spite of his
|enfeebled state. During the courtship he became intimate with her family. He went to the
|Continent with them. She drove about with him, received presents from him, and, in company
|with her sister, attended supper parties which he gave at his hotel in London.
|'The friendship went on till the July of 1874, when Miss Verner says that she agreed to marry
|Mr. Neville Bagot. He wished, however, to be married privately, and she gives a strange
|account of the manner and the place in which the ceremony was conducted. Meeting him by
|appointment in the streets, she drove with him in a closed carriage for half-an-hour to some
|part of the town which she cannot identify and went to a kind of office on the first floor of
|some house, where she found two men, who made her and her companion sign their names in a
|book. That was the "preliminary" part of the ceremony. Making another appointment with those
|persons, Mr. Neville Bagot brought her back again, and one of the men read a very small part
|of the marriage service out of the Prayer Book, asked some questions, and thus completed the
|marriage ceremony. Mrs. Bagot believed the place to be registrar's office, but she cannot find
|it, and there is no record of such a marriage in any of the registrars' books.
|'Some time afterwards she was alarmed, she says, by hearing Mr. Neville Bagot say, in a fit of
|drunken raving, that there had been no marriage at all; and, as she was soon to give birth to
|a child, she was anxious to put the legality of the union beyond a doubt. He agreed that they
|should be married by special license; he gave her £30 to pay for it, and, after she had attemp-
|ted to carry her application direct to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the license was obtained
|on August 8, 1875. She was married the same night, between 9 and 10, at the house of her
|family in Eaton Square. The legality of that union is not disputed.
|'On October 22, or a little more than two months after the wedding, she gave birth, at
|Tunbridge Wells, to the son whose claims have been made the subject of the litigation in
|Dublin. The child was afterwards virtually disinherited on the ground that Mr. Neville Bagot was
|not his father, and, as the Bagot family profited by his loss, it was all-important for them to
|make good that contention. One of them, Mr. Bernard Bagot, declared that his brother, the
|testator, had emphatically denied that there had been any private marriage - the inference
|being that the lady had been the mistress of Mr. Neville Bagot, and that if she had been the
|mistress of one man she might have been the mistress of more. But its is very difficult to
|reconcile such a denial with a statement made by Mr. Neville Bagot himself in more than one
|of the letters which he wrote immediately after the public ceremony. He said that the marriage
|had taken place some time before, and had for family reasons been concealed at the wish of
|Miss Verner.
|'The defendants tried to show, by means of some extraordinary conditions which she had
|signed on the eve of the public marriage, that Mr. Neville Bagot had doubted her purity. She
|unquestionably did sign a written stipulation that she would always accompany her husband,
|that she would keep no secrets from him, that she would "give up and cut" all her "fast and
|tipsy acquaintances and lovers and admirers," that she would cease to write to them and to
|receive letters and presents from them. Such a document does show that her ways had not
|been altogether pleasant to her husband. But it is incredible, as the Judge said, that Mr.
|Neville Bagot would have married a lady who was soon to become a mother if he had not
|believed himself to be the father of the child. Medical evidence respecting his state of health
|was adduced on both sides, but it was so contradictory that it may be safely disregarded.
|We need not, however, go to conjecture for proof that he believed the child to be his, since
|the evidence showed beyond a doubt that was overjoyed when it was born, that he was
|proud of the likeness which observers traced between it and himself, and that he made it the
|heir of his estates. On August 16, 1875, two months before the child was born, he made a
|will, leaving to it his landed property.
|'At this stage begins one of the darkest parts of the whole story, and sometimes we can do
|little else than grope for the truth amid a dense cloud of sworn contradictions. Down to March
|13, 1876, or for about five months after the birth of the child, Mr. Neville Bagot believed it to
|be his; but only four days later he displayed a sudden change of conviction. In two wills, one
|dated April 15, and the other September 7, 1876, he expressed that change by bequeathing
|his estates to his brother, John Bagot, and by directing that no more than the first £200 a year,
|and then £450 should be allotted for the support of Mrs. Bagot's son till he should reach the
|age of thirty, when he should receive £10,000. Mrs. Bagot herself was to have £1,000 a year.
|'What was the cause of the sudden and extraordinary change of belief which led him to set
|aside the old will? Was it justified by any fact which had come to his own knowledge? No
|evidence of the slightest value was adduced to show that he had been deceived by Mrs. Bagot,
|and the judge therefore presumed that the paternity of the child was beyond reasonable doubt.
|Was Mr. Neville Bagot, then, likely to be the victim of a delusion? That he was naturally a man
|of vigorous intellect is certain; but Sir Richard Graves McDonnell, late Governor of South
|Australia, testified that, although he had a clear head when dealing with public affairs, he was
|liable to extravagant personal antipathies. He was apt to lose self-control when talking about
|persons. His habits were also such as would weaken the strongest intellect in the world, and
|cloud the clearest brain. Although paralytic, and forced to wheel himself from one room to
|another, he would, if we may trust the evidence of a waiter at one of the hotels where he
|stayed, drink a pint of iced champagne in the forenoon, have sherry, and sometimes another
|pint of champagne, at lunch; sherry every day before he drove out, champagne and sherry at
|dinner, and whisky and hot water before he went to bed. Thus enfeebled by disease that he
|was always drunk. It was no wonder that [when] he was subject to wild fits of rage and drink,
|he could easily be misled by stronger minds than his own; and the contention of the plaintiff
|was that the delusion as to the paternity of the child was planted in the first place by his
|brother, Bernard Bagot.
|'That gentleman is the central figure of one very dramatic scene. He had come to visit Neville
|Bagot after the drawing up of the will which gave the estates to the child. At an hotel after
|dinner he was seen, if we may trust one of the witnesses, to take a paper off the chimney of
|an adjoining bedroom, and place it on the top of a jug of hot water in order to open the seal
|with the steam. Then he read the inclosed documents and sealed them again. Presently Mr.
|Neville Bagot came in and asked for his will. Mr. Bernard Bagot answered that it was in the
|bedroom, and he pretended to go for it; but the witness saw him take it out of his side pocket
|and bring it in to his brother, who locked it in a tin box. The inference of the plaintiff was that
|Mr. Bernard Bagot had opened the will to ascertain its contents, and that, on finding all the
|landed property left to her son, he had deliberately tried to make his brother repudiate the
|paternity of the child.
|'Mr. Bernard Bagot himself, of course, tells a very different story. He knew what the will
|contained, and he opened it merely to give his brother an opportunity of completing some
|forgotten formality. Be the truth what it may, Mr. Neville Bagot's household was speedily
|disturbed by scandalous scenes. He denied that the child was his, and called the mother
|opprobrious names. She retorted by demanding the authority for his accusations, and, when
|he would not give it, she called him a "liar." Her theory is that her husband's [mind] was poison-
|ed by the letters which he received from Bernard Bagot and John Bagot, and by their talk with
|him when they were his guests. She says that she was sometimes kept away from him; that
|she was not allowed to enter his room, and that she would remain crying in the passage
|outside. On one occasion, she adds, when the vigilance of the brothers had been relaxed, she
|got into the sick man's room through the window, and he then said that it was not he who had
|shut her out. A nurse who had tended him in his last hours declared that he made exclamations
|implying that he had wronged both his wife and his child.
|'The defendants retort by making accusations against Mrs. Bagot. They say that she neglected,
|disobeyed, and insulted her husband. She enraged him, they assert, by her extravagance, and
|by going about with men whom he did not know. Nay, an attempt was made to show that her
|conduct was open to the worst construction when she and her sister dined with two officers
|at an hotel in Chester. The climax of the insinuations was that she had tried to poison her
|husband. The attempt to substantiate these charges, however, conspicuously failed.
|'The result of the quarrels was a deed of separation from him, drawn up at his desire; and,
|when she went to ask him why he wanted her to go away, Mr. John Bagot, she says, gave
|her a push, knocked her down with her head against the fender, and then, with the help of a
|doctor who was present, dragged her out of the room so violently as to tear the sleeves from
|her dress. At another time, she declares, he showed her a photograph, and remarked, "That's
|your successor." She adds that he set spies to watch her, and that he himself dogged her
|footsteps to find evidence against her. A good deal of that evidence was irrelevant or
|unproved, and some of it was directly met by sworn denials; but, to a certain extent, it did
|tend to show that an attempt had been made to oust her from the household for reasons which
|could not be substantiated.
|'The real question for the jury, however, was whether Mr. Neville Bagot had been the victim of
|a delusion, practically amounting to insanity, in so far as he believed that Mrs. Bagot's child
|was not his. If that question was to be answered in the affirmative, it was of comparatively
|little importance to trace the origin of the delusion. The jury might hold either that it had
|sprung from Mr. Neville Bagot's own excited mind, or that, in good or bad faith, it had been
|implanted by others. The jury have affirmed that he did show himself incapable of making a
|will in so far as he fancied he was not the father of his wife's child. That verdict must have
|been confidently expected by most calm readers of the evidence, and it commands the agree-
|ment of the judge.
|'The result is that the will is set aside, and that the young child becomes the heir of the landed
|estates and a great part of the personalty. The plaintiff, Mrs. Neville Bagot, on the other hand,
|gains little by the verdict. She has been fighting the battle of her son, and it ends an extra-
|ordinary trial. But it not unlikely that, in spite of the enormous cost entailed by the presentation
|of the evidence, and by the twenty-two days' litigation, an attempt will be made to secure
|another trial, and that the less irrelevant parts of much astonishing evidence may be heard
|over again.'
|And so it proved, as reported in "The Maitland Mercury and Hunter River General Advertiser" on
|26 July 1879:-
|'The Court of Appeal, on June 5, delivered judgment in the will case of Bagot v. Bagot. The suit
|had been instituted by Alice Emily Bagot, daughter of the late Sir William Verner, and widow of
|Christopher Neville Bagot, for the purpose of having the will of her late husband, dated Sept-
|ember, 1876, pronounced invalid. The defendants to the suit were Bernard W. Bagot and Arthur
|Holmes, executors of deceased. The jury in the Probate Court found the testator was of
|unsound mind as regarded the paternity of his child, whom he disinherited by the will, and after
|23 days' trial Judge Warren made an order declaring the will invalid. The defendants moved for
|a new trial, which was refused by Judge Warren, and from this refusal the present appeal was
|brought. The Lord Chancellor [of Ireland], after stating the facts of the case at great length,
|delivered the unanimous judgment of the Court that, alike upon the nature of the case and
|conduct of the trial, the verdict found by the jury upon the issue of capacity, and the verdict
|directed by the judge upon the issue of knowledge and approval of the contents of the
|instruments, could not be maintained. The costs of the motion in the court below and of the
|appeal must be borne by Mrs. Bagot.'
|Eventually, in August 1880, the case came to a close when the two opposing parties reached
|a compromise. According to a report in the "Sydney Morning Herald" of 23 September 1880:-
|'The case of Bagot v. Bagot, which occupied the attention of the public so long, was brought
|to a close on August 2 on a motion before Chief Registrar Pilkington, Q.C., at the Probate
|Office, Dublin. Mr. James Murphy, Q.C., on behalf of the defendants, Bernard William Bagot,
|brother of the deceased and executor to his will, and Joseph Arthur Holmes, the co-executor,
|applied for an order pursuant to three several consents that the issues of fact to be tried in
|the Queen's Bench Division by a special jury of the City of Dublin be discharged, and that the
|defence and other pleadings filed by the plaintiff, Alice Emily Roberts, widow of the testator
|[she had since re-married], to try the validity of the will, dated September 7, 1876, of the late
|Christopher Neville Bagot, her husband, be withdrawn, and the defendants as executors be at
|liberty to obtain probate of the will in common form. They further sought an order that upon
|such grant of administration Mr. George Morris, of Well Park, county Galway, who had been
|appointed administrator pendente lite [pending litigation] of the personal estate, should be
|discharged as such administrator, and the security entered into by himself and his brother,
|Chief Justice [Michael] Morris [later Baron Killanin], in £15,000, be vacated, the defendants
|undertaking to pay him anything due in respect of £1,000, the amount of his remuneration,
|and any balance due in respect to his costs, Mr. Morris to hand over to them the lease of
|the house and demesne of Aughrane, executed to John Lloyd Neville Bagot, and the keys of
|the books and presses there, and also the six cases of plate deposited by him in the Provincial
|Bank, Dublin. It was also sought to discharge the receiver pendente lite, Mr. Joseph Arthur
|Holmes, one of the defendants, without accounting his security bonds to be cancelled. Mr.
|Pilkington, Q.C., made the order required, the framing of which was settled, with the assistance
|of the counsel present.'
|Sir Bowater George Hamilton Vernon, 2nd baronet [UK 1885]
|Sir George's obituary in "The Times" of 19 June 1940 reads:-
|'Sir George Vernon, Bt., died at Hanbury Hall, Worcestershire, on June 14.
|'Bowater George Hamilton Vernon was born on September 12, 1865, the eldest son of Sir Harry
|Vernon, 1st baronet, and Lady Georgina Vernon, who was the youngest daughter of the tenth
|Earl of Haddington. He was educated at Eton and at Brasenose College, Oxford. During the
|South African War he served with Rimington's Guides, afterwards joining the Worcestershire
|Yeomanry. In 1920 he succeeded to the baronetcy created of Hanbury Hall in 1885. He spent
|many years farming in Argentina, and was keenly interested in agriculture and in everything
|connected with the life and welfare of the parishes in which he was a landowner. He married
|in 1905 Doris, younger daughter of Mr. James Allan, of Shrawley Wood House, Worcestershire,
|who survives him.'
|Although "The Times" obituary simply states that Sir George had died, he had in reality shot
|himself. Sir George appears to have been a man of principle, as is demonstrated by two
|interesting glimpses into Vernon's character appeared in the Press. Firstly, from the London
|"Daily Mail" of 15 June 1940:-
|'Sir George Vernon, 74-years-old baronet, owner of 5,000 acres, was found shot yesterday
|with a revolver near his body, in a bedroom at his Worcestershire home, Hanbury Hall, near
|Droitwich. There is no heir to the title.
|Sir George was until two years ago chairman of Droitwich County Bench. He resigned after
|Worcestershire Quarter Sessions had allowed the appeal of a motorist sentenced by the magis-
|trates to four months; imprisonment for dangerous driving involving a fatal accident. In
|resigning, he said: "It is no good my trying to be severe at Droitwich if decisions are reversed
|at Worcester."
|Secondly, from the London "Telegraph" of 18 June 1940:-
|'Sir George Vernon, 74, who shot himself at Hanbury Hall, near Droitwich, Worcestershire, was
|buried yesterday at Shrawley Wood, Worcestershire, without service or ceremony. Six years ago
|he told a Worcestershire tithe payers' meeting that as a protest against the tithe system he
|would not be buried in the local churchyard. He stated that he had given instructions that his
|burial was to take place in unconsecrated ground in a wood, and declared: "No parson is going
|to read any service over me."
|'The coffin was taken in a farm lorry from Hanbury to Shrawley, a distance of 14 miles. The
|grave was near an old summer-house in which Sir George Spent some of his time. Only
|employees attended the burial.'
|Sir Robert Viner, 1st and only baronet
|The following biography of Sir Robert Viner appeared in the October 1970 issue of the Australian
|monthly magazine "Parade." Note that the article uses the alternative spelling of Viner's name,
|which I have left unaltered.
|'One evening in the 1670s when London's Lord Mayor, Sir Robert Vyner, was entertaining King
|Charles II in great state, the Merry Monarch decided that his wine-bibbing host was becoming
|somewhat too familiar. Tactfully the King decided to leave the party before Sir Robert
|committed some indiscretion that could not be pardoned, even from a Lord Mayor in his cups.
|Stealing unobtrusively from the table, Charles made his way to the coach waiting for him in the
|courtyard of the Guildhall. He had just reached the coach when a figure reeled out of the gloom
|in pursuit, a hand clutched his arm and a hoarse voice roared in his ear: "Sire, you shall stay
|and take the other bottle." Recognising the Lord Mayor's flushed features, Charles said good-
|humouredly: "He that's drunk is as good as a king." Then he allowed himself to be led back to
|the banquet.
|'However, the king had more reason than his customary good nature for being indulgent to the
|magnificent Sir Vyner. There was one thing, the matter of some 400,000 golden guineas (about
|$10 million in present-day [1970] money) already owed to Vyner by the King and his ministers.
|There was also His Majesty's future debts to be provided for, the greedy little hands of his
|mistresses to be satisfied and the other pleasures of the court of Whitehall to be financed. On
|top of all (though of rather less importance to King Charles) was the fact that even the pay of
|England's army and navy sometimes depended on the Vyner coffers.
|'History records many more outwardly splendid and peacock characters than Vyner - great
|nobles, politicians, courtesans and poets - in the reign of Charles II. But Sir Robert Vyner was a
|unique figure of his age. He was the Rothschild of Stuart England, the financier to a kingdom,
|the shrewd man with the moneybags behind the glittering State pageant. Unlike the
|Rothschilds, however, Vyner tasted fully the truth of the old adage about the folly of putting
|trust in princes. He died bankrupt and ruined after King Charles's Government repudiated its
|debts, falling with a crash that shook the credit of the City of London to its foundations.
|'Robert Vyner, the goldsmith's apprentice who was destined for such a meteoric career, was
|born in Warwickshire in 1631. The younger son of an ancient family in the county, he was sent
|to London as a youth and apprenticed to his goldsmith uncle, Thomas Vyner. Thomas Vyner
|thrived greatly during Cromwell's regime when he was Lord Mayor of London [1653-1654],
|Controller of the Mint and one of the leading bankers to the Puritan Government. The
|Restoration of 1660 brought no change in the Vyner fortunes, for Charles II, arriving penniless
|from his European exile, urgently needed money to maintain the new royalist regime. The only
|way to satisfy the demands of his ministers, favourites and mistresses was to turn to the
|financiers of London. This he proceeded to do on a staggering scale.
|'By now the 30-year-old Robert Vyner had already set up a flourishing business of his own and
|was competing in wealth and influence with his famous uncle. In those days "goldsmith" meant
|much more than a mere dealer in plate and jewellery, and members of the powerful Goldsmiths
|Company were the equivalent of the big trading banks of today. Their vaults were the strong-
|rooms where wealthy Londoners deposited their coin, bullion and valuables and to earn interest.
|In turn, the goldsmiths financed merchant ventures, trading fleets and the needs of govern-
|ment from military expeditions down to the king's personal loans.
|'No other monarch ever borrowed on such a scale as the pleasure-loving Charles II. And no
|other London financier rocketed to such power and eminence as Robert Vyner. The momentous
|friendship between the monarch and the young goldsmith began within a few months of the
|king's return. Preparations for his coronation had begun when it was realised that not a single
|item of the ancient royal regalia of England could be found. Crowns, sceptre, orb, gem-
|encrusted robes and all the other Crown jewels had either been pawned by Charles I during the
|Civil War or broken up and sold by the victorious Parliament. Robert Vyner was commissioned to
|make an entirely new set of regalia costing £30,000 - the foundation of the enormous royal
|debt that was to pile up over the years.
|'For all his hard-headed pursuit of profits, Vyner was a charming, cultivated man with a zest for
|high living and deep drinking that instantly appealed to Charles II. In 1661 he was appointed
|royal goldsmith and the king's private banker. He was allotted apartments in Whitehall Palace, a
|favour never shown to a London merchant before. In return, Vyner advanced the ministry
|£30,000 to pay the army in Ireland, having shrewdly made a deal securing the loan on the Irish
|customs and excise duties. However, what really launched Robert Vyner on his golden flood of
|fortune was his marriage in June 1665 to a wealthy widow, Lady Mary Hyde, who brought him a
|dowry of more than £100,000.
|'Backed by this money and his unrivalled credit as a merchant banker, Vyner plunged into the
|business of royal moneylender on a scale that staggered contemporaries. At times he was
|almost financing the English Government singe-handed - from lending money to build ships and
|raise regiments down to providing jewels for the pretty necks of the king's mistresses. His most
|spectacular intervention came during the disasters of the Dutch War in 1667 when the enemy
|fleet inflicted the crowning humiliation of burning British shipping in the Thames. With its sailors
|mutinous and unpaid, its ships unprepared and its morale at the lowest ebb, the Royal Navy
|was almost bankrupt when Vyner came to the rescue.
|'The goldsmith's usual practice was to borrow money from the big London merchants and guild
|companies at about six per cent and charge his royal customer at least 10 per cent. Now,
|drawing on every resource he could muster, he advanced the Treasury the then vast sum of
|£300,000 to meet the expenses of the navy, army and the king's personal debts. Not long
|afterwards he offered the even more sensational amount of £800,000 for the right to collect
|the poll tax throughout Britain. The corrupt and inefficient royal officials had estimated that the
|tax would not produce much more than half that amount if they collected it themselves.
|'Vyner's moneylending and tax-farming coups were calculated risks on a grand scale. But, as
|long as his credit was unshaken and the Government honoured its obligations, the profits were
|dazzling. The grateful monarch created his financier a baronet. Sir Robert Vyner was now his
|intimate friend, confidant and often his boon drinking crony. Vyner's counting house having
|been burned down in the Great Fire in 1666, Charles allowed his friend to store his hoard of
|coin, bullion, plate and jewels in one of the towers of Windsor Castle.
|'When Sir Robert Vyner became Lord Mayor in 1674 he was at the peak of his fortunes as one
|of the richest and most powerful citizen London had ever known. He had an enormous,
|rambling town house in Lombardy Street, where he lived in luxury that princes would have
|envied, as well as suites of apartments in Whitehall Palace and Windsor Castle. Outside London
|in Middlesex was his magnificent country mansion of Swakeleys. "No man in England lived in
|greater plenty," Samuel Pepys recoded in his diary after inspecting the sumptuous furniture,
|paintings and gardens. Londoners had never seen such spectacular lord mayoral feasts,
|processions and pageants as those staged during Sir Robert Vyner's regime at the Guildhall.
|King Charles was a frequent banquet guest. The food and wine, he explained genially, were
|better and more plentiful than he could afford at Whitehall - especially the wine from the Vyner
|'At this time it was calculated that the total royal debt to the City of London had reached the
|colossal figure of about £1 million sterling or something like $20 million in modern [1970] times.
|About half of it was owed to Sir Robert Vyner, who in turn had borrowed huge sums from his
|merchants and goldsmiths to satisfy the king's insatiable demands. The Court swallowed money
|like a bottomless pit. Nothing, it seemed, could keep pace with Charles's spending. For several
|years there were sinister signs of the coming crash that was to shake the credit of the city to
|its foundations. Interest on the royal loans lagged far in arrears or remained unpaid altogether.
|Vyner had a struggle to meet his commitments to his own worried band of creditors.
|'Then came the final thunderbolt. The king's ministers calmly announced the repudiation of
|every penny of the debt in exchange for a system of annuities for His Majesty's creditors.
|Vyner's annuity was fixed at £26,000, an amount that made it utterly impossible for him to
|meet his debts let alone maintain his princely style of living. In March 1683 the former dictator
|of the London money market was forced to call a meeting of his creditors and beg them to
|enter into some arrangement. However, there were many jealous rivals glad to see the "lord
|of Lombard Street" dragged down. A year later Vyner was declared bankrupt and much of his
|estate was broken up and sold.
|'Though owning only a shadow of his former fortune, Vyner remained on friendly terms with the
|new king, James II, who succeeded his spendthrift brother Charles in 1685. It was among the
|royal household at Windsor Castle that the magnificent and fallen Sir Robert Vyner died on
|September 2, 1688.'

The US dollar is now back on the gold standard but Federal Reserve dollars are not
Large amounts of gold once stored in South-East Asia have been shipped around the world to provide physical backing for US dollars, meaning the dollar has been secretly put back on the gold standard. However, all dollars created by the Federal Reserve Board since September 2008 are not being accepted outside of the United States. This means the banking families that own the BIS have made a deal with the secret society. However, there are now 1 billion people going hungry world-wide and if something is not done about that situation ASAP, then heads will start to roll regardless of Basel 3 and the gold-backed currencies.

To us, Porto is still the best city in Portugal, and one of the most romantic cities in Europe. We have a special connection to it and feel that it is still underrated.
Today we spend 2 hours there with J's mum and toddler Story in Vila Nova De Gaia before saying goodbye at the airport, and we witness some beautiful morning light over Ponte Dom Luis. We see the locals roasting chestnuts by the river, people kissing and holding hands while we lunch by a warm outdoor fire at Tempero D'Maria restaurant.
It's a beautiful day out, and a nice way to say bye bye to J's mum who is off back to England.

Well, thank you "Official Recognizer of Talent". I appreciate the kind words… but how am I to know that you are what you say you are…? You could be… my Mom, say, or some other loved one being supportive.
(though I suspect the naked may have chased my family away…)

About Me
I am a dedicated stay at home mom to a most awesome husband and 4 amazing children. My husband and I have been married for 20 years, and my children are my everything. My most favorite thing in the world to do apart from family time is design. I've been into scrapbooking forever, but started the digi world of scrapbooking for about 5 years now, and started designing about 2 years ago. I also love reading to, playing with, and homeschooling my little ones. We are in the military, so we have also traveled a lot, but I am happy to be finally settled here in Alabama and retiring this year!

I want to start doing more food posts as it's one of my passions. I think this would be a great way to share my love of food.
This summer I am determined to perfect sourdough bread.
In the past, I've been able to get sourdough to grow and thrive but I can't get it to rise enough but the dense bread still tastes good.
Today I started my starters one is plain white bread and the other is wheat. I'm hopeful for the wheat as I've had good luck with the white before.
Can't wait to update my progress.
Last night I made loaded tatertots. These are topped with BBQ chicken that I cooked in the crockpot earlier in the day. Just chicken and bbq sauce simple and easy and shredded it. I then topped with cheddar, sourcream, and Cotija. With a drizzle of bbq sauce over the top. They are a little slice of amazing. Super easy and very taste which is a requirement at our house.
Tatertot's work as a great base for almost any toppings. We've done pizza style with sauce and toppings. We've also done taco toppings, buffalo chicken and a little ranch with cheese is good too.
What's your favorite comfort food?
