I am happy to write about the story told by a piece of jewelry, and everyone likes to see the handsome man.
Today’s introduction is it
It was created by Henry Paget, the fifth Marquess of Anglesey in England. 5th marquess of anglesey)
It’s not surprising for men to buy jewelry, but the strange thing is that Henry didn’t buy this crown for his wife, daughter-in-law, or daughter-in-law, he bought it for himself
Well, let’s start from the beginning
Angel The title of West Marquess belongs to the Page family. The family history of this family can be traced back to the 16th century. He became a Marquis in 1815, when the first Marquis made military exploits in the Waterloo War.
Henry is the only son of the fourth Marquis. Roadside social media said that his biological father was Lao Wang, the French actor Benaud. Anyway, DNA tests could not be tested at that time. He was the one who finally inherited the title and property.
Like a typical aristocrat back then, Henry’s early life was uneventful and he read Eton. , served as a soldier, and at the age of 23, he married his younger cousin Lillian.
At the end of the same year, his father passed away. Henry inherited the title and 120 square kilometers of real estate contracted in multiple places. The income would be guaranteed at 110,000 pounds, which was in 1889
However, just five years later, Henry owed a huge debt of 544,000 (about 60 million in 19 years) and declared bankruptcy
How did he do it?
To put it simply, play, play hard, play as crazy and extravagantly as you want
Henry renamed his family's villa in Anglesey, Plas Newydd, to "Anglesey Castle", and also changed the church directly into a theater , then he jumps on stage and starts acting, and then hires professional actors to perform for him at a high price.
The content of the performance basically covers everything from poetry to life philosophy. His own performance is not enough, and he also goes around telling the folks to watch. , in order to improve the performance effect, he kept renovating the theater, using all the advanced equipment and lighting,
After that, he performed more and more vigorously, and simply began to tour the UK and even Europe.
Henry is considered to be a natural dancer, also known as " "Dancing Marquis", the serpentine dance and the butterfly dance are said to be very powerful
Exactly where do you spend so much money? Building a theater and hiring actors with 10 times the salary are one of them. The most important thing is to give yourself a complete wardrobe, fur jewelry They are all real and authentic. There are thousands of silk nightgowns and hundreds of pairs of leather shoes. The crown on top is just for fun (although no photos of wearing it are left)
Even the opera robes are directly inlaid. Diamonds, it is said that Henry, who was born with a golden key in his mouth, believes that everything that sparkles must be real diamonds. He doesn’t know about rhinestones.
Some people speculate that the diamond-encrusted costume he used to play Aladdin is worth 10,000 pounds. If converted now, it may be Nearly 1 million
Even Henry's car is very impressive. It is inlaid with gems and sprayed with perfume. It is said that the exhaust fumes are rose-scented.
He also has parties outside of theatrical performances. It's just like a wine pool and a forest of meat. The money is naturally worth it. His wife went to
with a bang, and his wife was naturally a floating cloud. His marriage to his cousin Lillian actually lasted only 6 weeks, and the marriage was annulled after 3 years.But Henry did something very domineering to Lillian. Lillian passed by the display window to take a closer look at a certain piece of jewelry. Henry bought the whole store...and then let Lillian wear all the jewelry and admire it quietly. Neither do
... Well
Because he is too wild and does not touch his wife, some people suspect that Henry is gay, but there is no evidence to prove that he is or is not, that is, he does not even have a suspicious gay friend
On the other hand, some researchers believe that Henry only loved himself from beginning to end. Just like Narcissus, Narcissus, he was awakened by his handsomeness every day. The evidence is that he loved photography, but the protagonist of the photos was basically himself. Not only did he collect a large number of He would sometimes send photos of himself to people who came to watch his performances.
Henry just wandered around until 1904. He was heavily in debt and had no choice but to stop and solve the debt problem. Well, it was the more than 500,000 he mentioned at the beginning.
Mainly by selling costumes, furs, jewelry, etc., there were more than 17,000 items in the auction, which took more than 40 days to complete. The total value of the jewelry exceeded 80,000, but it was not enough to fill the gap = =
Maybe the creditor was also bewitched by him. Although the debt had not been repaid, the creditor was willing to give him 3,000 pounds a year, which is about 150,000 today. It was not a big problem if he did not waste his life.
The next year, Henry died of tuberculosis in a luxury hotel in Monte Carlo. , although they could not become husband and wife, his cousin Lillian still accompanied him at the last moment.
His romantic relationship with his cousin was purely family and they naturally had no children. The title was passed on to his cousin Charlie. It was very shameful to have such a relative in that era. Charlie destroyed it. All the documents and records left by Henry were removed, and the theater was rebuilt into a church.
It is said that Charles claimed that he was the fifth Marquis. The implication was that he did not want to admit that Henry was once the leader of his family, and wished that this person never existed.
The photos that appear in this article seem to be the ones that were accidentally discovered a few years ago
Since Henry's debts were not repaid until his death, Charlie had to sell the main land in his family to pay off the debt.
The ancestral property + the theater where it was at that time Plas newydd, has passed away to the public.
However, the crown that Henry bought was so beautiful that he was reluctant to sell it. Charlie disliked Henry so much but would rather sell the land and keep the crown (of course, it may be too big of a trap to sell it). No help), Charlie’s wife and daughter-in-law have subsequently worn it.
Of course, the reason why it can be used to tell stories is that I don’t know when it was sold. It was later resold for various exhibitions. Beautiful or really beautiful.
As for Peppa Pig now As for the family, they probably don’t have much land and money left, but the title has no heirs. Benedict, the only son of the 8th Marquis, was born in 1986, seemingly unmarried
This family also named Benedict’s sister Clara ( clara paget), she is a magic bean + actress, I am not familiar with film and television. I know her from Fast and Furious 6, she plays vegh
Henry. If I could see a younger member of the family becoming a real actor in Tianzhiling, I might chuckle. Sheng: You kids are still just pictures, not even one percent as beautiful as me.
Actually, I think he was born 100 years earlier, otherwise he could have more fun now, and he might be prosperous without going bankrupt.
