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.
最开始一直没有搞清楚到底是四个姐妹还是五个姐妹,后来看到其他网友写的文章,明白原来是五姐妹,最小的妹妹就是后来因为四姐出轨自责去世的那个。
四姐妹中最喜欢二姐,理智,聪明,且有耐心,做事情步步为营。如果没有二姐,可能整个家族又是另一个风景。
三姐幸福源于二姐的指点,而四姐就没有那么幸运了。
有人提到大姐自私,糊涂等等。
其实可以理解的,因为大姐最大,肯定受家里的宠爱最多,父母多是惯着的,就像我这一代的独生子女一样,大多的确自私,而且想要什么都很容易得到,一切来的容易,肯定容易看不清现实,糊涂,生气也会生错了方向,还会过于执着等等。
所以当父亲的遗嘱还是责怪她的时候,她肯定觉得没有面子,当然咽不下这口气。
而且女性在那个年代并没有什么机会历练自己,大多数幸福的婚姻其实都是源于自己当时选对了人,所以怎么做都是对的。
所以对于四妹的婚姻不开心,大姐并不能拿出一个切实的解决方案去帮助四妹。
而且大姐认为一切都是别人的错误,并不会反省自己的问题。
二姐就不一样了。
二姐夫经常去伦敦要为爱尔兰的子民奔波,二姐夫不在家,那么爱尔兰本地的事宜都是二姐来处理,二姐在其中得到了很多历练,从给孩子找家庭教师的决定中,就能看出二姐与其他夫人的不同。
如果二姐来处理四姐这件事情,肯定不会让四姐私奔生娃最后闹的人尽皆知来收场。
我一直觉得如果要步入婚姻,那么一定要先设想好一些问题的对策,比如遇到不讲理的婆婆怎么办,比如老公出轨了应该如何反击?
不讲理的婆婆好解决,想方设法分开住,少见面就行了
但是老公出轨的解决方案一直是无解的
但二姐的婚姻观令人眼前一亮。
对于二姐夫的出轨,二姐没有哭闹伤心,只是当做看不见,对于二姐夫仍然该爱去爱,该尊重去尊重,该支持去支持,该给二姐夫生孩子就拼命生。
二姐夫也没有辜负二姐的爱,死后留了大笔遗产给二姐。
二姐和后来老公的生活比接受了爵位的儿子过的富有多了,有几个能有二姐夫这种胸襟的丈夫呢。
我相信二姐夫肯定是知道夫人早就知晓他出轨的,二姐夫长时间在伦敦,肯定有情妇,但是没有一个闹到二姐这边来,在爱尔兰二姐夫的情妇都是家里的侍女,没有人能够威胁到二姐的地位。
如果说出轨中也有对夫人的尊重的话,二姐夫已经尊重夫人了。
还有在剧里面,当家里出事的时候,尽管大家的立场不同,但是都是为了这个家族想办法解决问题。
尤其是四姐名誉扫地的时候,继承了家族的哥哥,尤其是有那样的嫂子的情况下,还是能够给四姐找个房子并且给她一个虽然不自由,但是至少是体面的生活,也算感动了。
放到如今有几个人能做到呢。
其实在今天家庭的观念越来越淡薄,早已分解成以个人为单位,为自己的生存而战了。
但是我们不能低估家族的力量,彼此帮助,有爱,有道德,才能让人生更完整不是吗?
在家无聊的时候搜到了这部剧,虽然有点老,但是服装、道具等等都很精致,故事一共有6集,讲述了一个家族4姐妹的一生。6集的体量老实说讲这样一个故事还是很紧凑的,尤其是前几集,一口气看完,感觉就像是自己陪伴着她们走过这一生一样。最后一集由于演员都换成了老年演员,刚开始有点不适应,不太能分清谁是谁。感觉要是集数再多一点儿会好很多。
爱与习惯,期待与疲倦。回忆苍老,没有人不在悲壮中走完。
强烈推荐
时代,命运,爱情
最后两集不换人就好了
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。
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……
最难抵消的就是时光荏苒给人的触动和感慨
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。
最后一集让半脸盲的我看地很痛苦。。。。
这是自我感觉过于良好的一家子
竟然从年轻演到老。。。真是没想到。。。不过还不错。
总感觉故事还没有说完
最大的姐姐真的好自私。
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
果然还是最爱emily
"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
受感染的是人文气息~ 貌似历史也是真实的诶
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。。
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
