About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 In the Victorian era, marrying socially ambitious heiresses was almost de rigueur for the titled and entitled rich but pound-poor English lords. Resourceful blue bloods offered an exchange of their pedigrees for the wealth of heiresses.
#2 Almina’s marriage to Alfred was not sexual, and she was constantly obsessed with the color of her baby’s skin. She eventually had a son with Lord Carnarvon, who accepted Henry George as his son and heir.
#3 Almina’s philanthropic efforts proved to be her finest hour during World War I. She transformed Highclere into a hospital and convalescence home, and played the role of Florence Nightingale. The Carnarvons undertook the financial end of the expedition, and when Carter discovered the tomb, he named it King Tut.
#4 Almina’s life was a series of misadventures and financial disasters. She had never been concerned with money, and she thought it was in bad taste to ask for payment. She began an affair with her husband’s undertaker, and when she was 70, she took a 30-year-younger lover.
