Legend says Edward Hyde, Lord Cornbury (1661-1723) was New York's worst governor: a nepo baby failson; a bully and bigot; a corrupt spendthrift; a sex pest with an ear fetish.

And was he actually a transvestite? https://order-of-the-jackalope.com/universally-detested/ Key sources for this episode include Patricia Bonomi's The Lord Cornbury Scandal: The Politics of Reputation in British America; Alan Taylor's Writing Early American History; Charles Worthen Spencer's "The Cornbury Legend"; John Grant Wilson's The Memorial History of the City of New York from Its First Settlement to the Year 1892; and Shelley Ross's Fall from Grace: Sex, Scandal and Corruption in American Politics from 1702 to the Present.

IN this episode, I discuss the portrait of “Lord Cornbury” in drag, and a few other tidbits. I'm also now on YouTube- The New Jersey History Podcast Channel.

The background of New Jersey's “cross-dressing” governor, his ties to the Jersey Devil, and his penchant for touching “velvety ears.” I'm absolutely obsessed with Lord Cornbury, as one can see…one short episode has turned into three! Stay tuned for the third and final installment coming soon! Please feel free to email me at njhistorypodcast@gmail.com.

This trailer episode is a brief recording I made whilst I was getting ready for school, so ignore the poor quality. You may have heard of Edward Hyde, Viscount Cornbury, the first governor of New Jersey, who is often remembered as a cross-dresser. I'll be exploring this topic further, offering insight into the viability and origins of Lord Cornbury's naughty and titillating behaviors. In this preview episode, I ask you do do some research before I post the proper full-length episode, which will be published presently.

The entry list for this weekend's Cornbury House Horse Trials reads like a who's who of eventing so Nicole & Catherine take a look at what is in store. From the younger horses who are just stepping up a level, to the ones who have been there and got the t-shirt, Cornbury has it all.  Course Designer David Evans is also on the show to give us an insight into the courses at Cornbury and just what it takes to get good ground.
