Socialite, wit and fashion influencer Beau Brummell fled to France on 16th May, 1816, in order to escape his creditors, from whom he had racked up around £600,000 of gambling debts. Staying at Dessin's Hotel, he entertained in his apartments while learning French and writing his memoirs, biding his time until his bestie George IV appointed him to the British consul in nearby Caen. But the position lasted only two years, and eventually he was jailed for his mounting debts in France. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly track the highs and lows of this iconic dandy's relationship with the Palace; consider how his career in the consulate came to such a rapid end; and explore his influence on gentleman's fashion ever since…  Further Reading: • ‘Beau Brummell - The Ultimate Man of Style, By Ian Kelly' (Atria Books, 2013):  https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Beau_Brummell/z0bihH_cbTgC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Beau+Brummell&printsec=frontcover • ‘Regency London: Where did the Ton spend their time?'

Marie-Antoine Carême wasn't just any chef—he was the chef des rois et le roi des chefs (the chef of kings and the king of chefs). In this episode of Fabulously Delicious: The French Food Podcast, we delve into the life of this trailblazing culinary artist who revolutionised French cuisine during a time of great upheaval, from the French Revolution to the fall of Napoleon. Known for his towering pièces montées and meticulous codification of French sauces, Carême helped lay the foundations for haute cuisine as we know it. But Carême's talents weren't confined to the kitchen. He cooked for the likes of Napoleon, the future George IV of England, and Russian Tsar Alexander I, and spent significant time in the service of the famously strategic Talleyrand. Could it be that Carême's placement in such elite circles had more to do with politics than pastry? A new Apple TV series hints at a fascinating subplot: was Carême a spy? In this episode, we unpack the facts and the fictions. Was Carême truly passing secrets along diplomatic corridors under the guise of preparing extravagant banquets? Or is this just a delicious layer of historical speculation? While the evidence is far from definitive, the possibility adds an irresistible flavour to the story of a man who cooked for the most powerful men in Europe. Join us as we explore Carême's early life as an abandoned child in Paris, his rise through the culinary world, his groundbreaking contributions to French gastronomy, and the tantalising rumours that swirl around his legacy. Whether he was simply a chef or something far more mysterious, one thing is certain: Carême changed the way the world eats—and maybe, just maybe, the way it thinks.

George III's mental incapacitation was formally recognised by Parliament on February 5th, 1811, when The Regency Act handed power to his son, the future George IV.  Though George III had struggled with bouts of illness for decades, his periods of lucidity made it difficult to decide when, or even if, he should be replaced. He resisted the idea of ceding power, particularly to his son, with whom he had a notoriously difficult relationship. Parliament wasn't thrilled about George IV either, seeing him as indulgent, irresponsible, and politically aligned with the opposition. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly examine George III's "mad spells"; discover the shockingly cruel treatments contemporary medicine offered up - including blistering his skin with arsenic, dunking him in freezing water, and using leeches to "suck out the madness" - and explain how he kept the love of his people even as his health declined… CONTENT WARNING: mental health trauma, infant mortality.

This week Carolyn Harris joins Phil to talk about one of the most extraordinary royal relationships of all time; between the future George IV and his unhappily married wife Caroline of Brunswick.From a disastrously drunken wedding night, which nevertheless produced a princess, through years of mutual loathing, numerous affairs and illegitimate children (his), rumour of exotic foreign lovers (hers), political intrigues, popular protests and endless satirical cartoons and pamphlets to a final, farcical coronation ceremony in which the Queen of England was locked out of Westminster Abbey by the King's own guards - this is quite a tale!We also touch on a much happier royal union that happened just a few years later - that between Victoria and Albert.Canadian historian Carolyn Harris is a world class expert on all things royal and has made a particular study of consorts - the women, and sometimes men, who marry into royalty and then have to carve out a role for themselves, often in an alien country and culture.Her books can be found in North America and Canada and some are also available in the UK...https://www.amazon.co.uk/Raising-Royalty-Years-Royal-Parenting-ebook/dp/B01CDU0NCE?ref_=ast_author_dp***We now have a Thank You button (next to the 'three dots') for small donations that help support our work***Looking for the perfect gift for a special scandalous someone - or someone you'd like to get scandalous with?

Pour commencer il faut savoir que le port du kilt remonte aux anciens Highlanders, c'est à dire aux habitants des Highlands, une région montagneuse du nord de l'Écosse. Ces Highlanders portaient des kilts en raison de leur confort. Habillés ainsi Ils pouvaient se déplacer facilement dans les terrains montagneux et marécageux de l'Écosse. Le kilt offrait une liberté de mouvement essentielle dans ce contexte. Sa forme traditionnelle était en fait un long morceau de tissu enroulé autour du corps et porté sur une épaule, qui pouvait aussi servir de couverture la nuit. Mais si le kilt est devenu le symbole de l'Ecosse, c'est en raison d'une visite bien particulière, celle du roi George IV à Édimbourg en 1822. Le contexte politique et culturel de l'époque joue un rôle essentiel. Après notamment la défaite des clans écossais à la bataille de Culloden en 1746, le gouvernement britannique a mis en place des lois sévères contre les symboles de la culture des Highlands, y compris le port du tartan et du kilt. Ces restrictions visaient à affaiblir l'identité écossaise et à réduire le pouvoir des clans. Ce n'est qu'en 1782, presque quarante ans plus tard, que ces lois furent abrogées, permettant ainsi aux Écossais de renouer avec leurs traditions vestimentaires.Dans ce contexte, le roi George IV fut le premier monarque britannique à visiter l'Écosse depuis le 17ème siècle. Là, Sir Walter Scott, auteur et poète écossais, mais aussi grand promoteur de la culture écossaise et fervent admirateur des traditions des Highlands, fut chargé de préparer les célébrations. Et Scott décida justement de mettre en avant une image romantique de l'Écosse, centrée sur l'héritage des Highlands et ses emblèmes distinctifs. Il encouragea les Écossais à porter des kilts en tartan, convaincant même le roi George IV d'en revêtir un. Les festivités furent un grand succès et attirèrent l'attention de l'Europe entière. George IV fut immortalisé vêtu d'un kilt en tartan de Stuart, symbole de l'unité entre les différentes factions de l'Écosse et la monarchie britannique. Ce choix vestimentaire avait pour but d'insuffler une fierté nationale et de ressusciter une identité écossaise, qui avait été réprimée et stigmatisée pendant des décennies. Après l'événement, de nombreuses familles de la noblesse écossaise adoptèrent des motifs de tartan spécifiques, créant une forte association entre chaque clan et un motif distinct. En somme, la visite de George IV a transformé le kilt d'un simple vêtement des Highlands en un symbole national. L'implication de Sir Walter Scott a joué un rôle crucial dans cette transformation. Ce moment a non seulement ancré le kilt dans l'imaginaire collectif écossais, mais il l'a également érigé en emblème de l'identité écossaise à travers le monde. Hébergé par Acast.

Join The Revd Steve Morris, Associate Priest at St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. This week Steve tackles a theological conundrum – The Trinity. The reflection opens with the hymn 'I bind unto myself this day' – also known as St Patrick's breastplate – and concludes with Thomas Attwood's anthem, 'Turn thy face from my sins', a setting of words from Psalm 51, sung by St Bride's Choir. Attwood (1765–1838) was sent abroad to study through the patronage of the Prince of Wales (later to become George IV) where he studied under Mozart.

Mihir Bose, former BBC Sports News editor, talks to David Smith, Economics Editor of the Sunday Times, and political commentator Nigel Dudley about his memoir Thank you Mr Crombie - Lessons in Guilt and Gratitude to the British.Mihir grew up in India, just after Independence, part of a wealthy family with a hierarchy of servants, where as a child he was treated like a little prince. Had he stayed there and taken over his father's business he might have made millions as the country developed. Instead he came to Britain to pursue his passion for journalism.He met David and Nigel not long after he settled in London, and having been subjected to the usual 1960s racism - violence from National Front skinheads, landladies refusing to rent him a room, he finally found his niche on the Financial Weekly and his tribe, journalists, who did not care about his colour, and they have remained good friends ever since.In this podcast they talk about how multicultural Britain has changed since those days, the impact of immigration, the legacy of Empire and Mihir's personal journey.Mihir's MemoirMihir is publishing his memoir. From growing up in India to making a name for himself as a journalist in Britain, he recounts how he is ever grateful to Mr Crombie, the official who gave him 'indefinite leave to remain'.Come and see Mihir talking about his memoir on Wednesday 29 May at George IV pub in Chiswick.Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/qa-with-mihir-bose-author-of-thank-you-mr-crombie-tickets-866160929657Get in contact with the podcast by emailing threeoldhacks@outlook.com, we'd love to hear from you!

The Three Old Hacks have long memories. Former BBC Sports News editor Mihir Bose, Economics Editor of the Sunday Times David Smith and political analyst Nigel Dudley have been covering the nation's major events for decades and are well placed to compare and contrast the pre-election antics of politicians.Harold Wilson smoked a pipe in public, in an attempt to appear a 'man of the people', but smoked cigars in private, recalls Nigel. There was that excruciating video of Ed Milliband attempting to eat a bacon sandwich in public, and the video with Tony Blair eating cereal with his kids in his kitchen which put the 'corn' in 'cornflakes. So a prime minister attempting to cosy up to the public by telling us how he loads the dishwasher and turn down the bed ("all a bit clumsy" - David) is nothing new to them.Other subjects on the agenda in this week's podcast are whether or not we can expect another Budget before the next election and how much the Government can expect to influence our votes with it, the absence of specific promises from Labour and the Princess of Wales - whether the papers were right to go big on the dodgy Mother's Day photograph in the light of what we now know, that she has cancer.Mihir's MemoirMihir is publishing his memoir.

If Ali still had his scandal bell, this episode might break it! It's Caroline of Brunswick this week, consort to George IV despite his spending their entire marriage trying to prevent that eventuality. A poorly matched couple, Caroline lived life according to her own rules, creating scandal in England and then in European exile before returning for a grand battle as George tried to deny her her position as Queen. It certainly made an impression, but will it deserve the Rex Factor? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

That's why Jeff Russak, principal at Lawrence Jeffrey Estate Jewelers, won't hesitate to leave a purchase behind if his inner voice tells him something is wrong. He joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how he vets his purchases and the dealers he works with; what red flags buyers should watch out for; and why a receipt is more powerful than you might think. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com. Today, my guest is Jeff Russak, one of the principals of Lawrence Jeffrey. They are estate dealers located in Litchfield, Connecticut. Jeff has had decades of experience buying and selling. He's also extremely knowledgeable about estate jewelry. Welcome back. What are the mistakes you see people make, whether in the receipt, in the returns or not asking the right questions? What are the mistakes you see? Jeff: The mistakes I see boil down to trusting the wrong person. There you are, and they're showing you a five-carat ruby. It's fire-engine red and pretty clear. It's in a nice ring, and it's $12,000 to $14,000. I can think of a half dozen booths I've seen at shows that had jewelry like this. Well, it's a good deal, and they're going to tell you it's a good deal. They're going to tell you how beautiful it is, but somewhere your brain must be going, “I'm a little worried.” If you're a little worried, stop. I can tell you that those rubies were glass-filled. Of course, they looked good. Were they rubies? The GIA would call them a red, man-made product rather than a ruby. I've gotten a report on such a stone, and that's what they said. I think you have to listen to your voice. The less you know, the more wary you need to be, and the more questions you need to ask. The more questions you ask, eventually you're going to hear things that are going to lead you to either trust and buy or not trust and not buy. If I were a neophyte, I would be like, “Wow, that's a really good price. That's so much less than I've seen for similar pieces. Is the stone natural?” If they say, “Oh yes, this is an all-natural ruby,” I would say, “Will you write that on my receipt?” Then you have recourse. Now we're getting into federal law. Again, we're talking about someone who doesn't know. You have to ask questions to try and get a sense. It's like questioning your six-year-old who's definitely got cupcake crumbs on his fingers. You know something has happened. You're not quite sure what, but you're pretty sure. You want to give him a chance. “So, what have you been up to?” “Oh, nothing.” “What's on your fingers?” They're going to look at their fingers. “Nothing but these crumbs.” “Crumbs, really?” So, you begin to get an idea. The truth is there's no silver bullet for solving these issues. I tell my clients to decide what fun money is to you. For some people, that's $100. For other people, that's $10,000. If you don't want to become more expert in something you want to buy a lot of, if you're going to spend more than fun money, ask an expert. Bring someone in who's knowledgeable, who's an expert, and take it from there. I do that too. I'm pretty expert in a lot of stuff. When I buy a very high-end sapphire, I have someone out on the West Coast who is strictly an expert on sapphire. I will often send it to that person to have it evaluated in much greater detail than a lab report. I will speak with them, and they will walk me through tracing all those factors in the marketplace and how they relate to establish what a wholesale price for it would be, and even sometimes what a retail price would be. A small difference in color in a five-carat stone could be a $10,000 to $20,000 difference at retail. Sharon: That's certainly true. Can you look at a piece of gold and tell who the designer is or where it's from? Jeff: The first thing I do is look for the hallmarks. I'm deft with reading hallmarks, and if I don't know—just this morning, I was taking a picture of a hallmark I couldn't find anywhere. Our shop has a library off the main floor, and the walls are covered with books on all the various designers, on gemology, on the history of jewelry. Then there are cases, which are closed, and they're filled with catalogues, every Tiffany catalogue from 1951. We have probably 60 or 70 Cartier catalogues. We have primary reference material we look at and use, but the short answer is about a third of the time, I can look at something and tell you who made it. But until I look at those hallmarks, it's just a really well-informed guess. Sharon: Can you tell the age of something? If you don't know who made it, can you tell the age just by looking? Jeff: Yes, by examining the piece and taking cues from both the aesthetic choices the goldsmith made, but also from the resources the goldsmith had when they were doing the fabrication. That usually is what tells me when something was made. The resources often dictate the mechanical style. For instance, the French often prefer not to physically join pieces in necklaces. They have a particular way of hinging them. It's sort of a pin with a mushroom cap. When you see that, you almost always know that's a French piece or it was made by someone who studied in France. If it's a Genevan piece, well, the Genevans often studied across the border. There are a lot of clues. It just takes time to learn them. Sharon: The people who work for you or with you, what do you suggest they learn? Do they follow you around, or do you show them each piece? Jeff: I have a really knowledgeable staff. They know a lot. Truthfully, I tell them all the time that they know a lot more than they think. They get to a certain point and I stop telling them; I just ask. In the beginning, though, they'll hesitate. They'll say something and it's almost always right. They have good instincts. When they've handled enough pieces, when we've pulled the books off the shelf—like when I look at Georgian pieces, I don't just go, “Oh, this George III,” or “Oh, this is George IV,” or “This is early Victorian.” They look different aesthetically in many cases, but the way the mountings are made, for instance, changes in subtle ways over a period of time. So, I'll go back to a reference book, and I'll pull out a dozen pictures from each period, say from 1740 to 1780 and then 1780 to 1800, and try and make sure to narrow it down. Some people have that in their heads. That one still hasn't stuck for me, so I always look it up to make sure. And I have a photo repository. There are many museums that allow you to take photographs. I have extensive photographs of pieces from the Treasury in Vienna because they allow photographs. I believe the British Museum has a vast collection—I don't believe; I know they have a vast collection of Victorian. They allow photographs, whereas the V&A, I don't think they do; I'm trying to remember. So, we have those resources as well. We're always trying to learn, and we take staff trips to museums. I'm hoping to take the staff on a museum tour, maybe in London at some point because there's so much to learn there. Every time I go, it reinforces what I've seen before. Sharon: Are there tours? I'm asking for a personal reason. Are there tours like you're talking about? Jeff: I think there are some jewelry tours. I want to say maybe get involved with Jewelry Week, the folks who run that. I don't know of any. We would just go on our own. I know where to go and what to look at and which dealers to visit, the rock stars of our world. Recently the Vegas Show went on, which is a dealer-only show. I was standing in a taxi line with my creative director, and we just struck up a conversation with one of the Heyman brothers from Oscar Heyman. I had no idea who he was, and we're just talking about stuff. I didn't even know he was in the jewelry world. Then he said something, and I was like, “Oh, you're at one of the shows. What do you do? Who are you with?” He said, “I'm with Oscar Heyman. I'm such-and-such Heyman,” and I said, “Oh, wow! We love your work so much. We follow you. We look at your work. You have such an amazing reputation.” They're the nicest people. He was so lovely. He looks around like he's looking for somebody and says, “Did my mother send you?” There's a group of people who are fantastically honest. I would recommend anyone to buy their jewelry, to deal with them, to use them as a resource if you have a Heyman piece. You can get in touch with them, and they will help you. They're really an example of the absolute pinnacle of an exemplary firm, and arguably maybe the most important American firm today. Sharon: I'm surprised to hear you say that you go from high to low or low to high in terms of looking at jewelry. Jeff: One of the things I wanted to talk about was all the different ways we can buy. We have so many choices today as a buyer. I think it's confusing somewhat, and some of the choices open up the opportunity to confuse people on purpose. You have dealers. You have dealers who have shops. You have dealers at shows. You have dealers who have online shops and in-person shops. You have dealers who only have online shops. You have online gateways. That's like a 1stDibs or an eBay, where dealers have their own space on these. You have flea markets, estate sales, tax sales. You have auctions in person. You have online auctions. Now, you have guaranteed preowned. You can go to Cartier and buy an estate piece guaranteed preowned like you buy a guaranteed preowned Mercedes. A number of those stores are doing that. Then you have buying from a friend, a private person, The RealReal, or Poshmark. There are places where regular people have somebody else sell their things or maybe they sell their own things. You have Facebook moms' groups. You have Facebook Marketplace. That's a lot of places to buy things, but here's the thing: the rules for how you buy are exactly the same no matter who you're buying from, and the laws that control these sales are exactly the same no matter who you buy from. That's a hard thing to remember. If you're shopping for an engagement ring, a mom who's selling her engagement ring may not want to give you a proper receipt. She might not even know she's supposed to, but she may only sort of remember what the diamond weight was. Maybe she didn't buy a diamond at all, or maybe she was given a diamond ring and it wasn't a diamond; maybe it was a Moissanite; maybe it was a synthetic diamond. All the more reason why you need a receipt. I'm not even saying that anyone is trying to do something dishonest in this situation. I'm saying that you're spending a decent little chunk of change or a big chunk of change, and you have to protect yourself. The more risk, the more careful you have to be. I'm just as careful as an ordinary buyer. I have a lot more knowledge that helps, but I'm just as careful. We buy from other dealers, obviously, all the time. There's a psychology of dealers selling to one another. Even though we're dyed-in-the-wool retailers, we still sell very specialized diamonds. We have several dealers in Europe who buy very specialized, historic pieces from us that are worth a lot more to their customers than they certainly would be to mine. It's not my specialty; it's not my niche. So, I have all the same issues buying from another dealer that a regular person might have buying through a moms' group. It's the same problems and issues, and it's the same task in terms of making sure you're getting what you think you're buying. Sharon: Do you sell a lot online? Do you notice a difference in the questions people ask? Jeff: I'm going to say off the cuff that I think there are more questions from my online buyers than from my in-person buyers. I think there are more questions, and more detailed questions. I think they're smart. The online buyer does not have the opportunity to look me in the eye, doesn't get to see where I'm standing or a sense of whether there's an exchange of information. Maybe they ask, “How long have you been in business?” “Well, we've been here in Litchfield for 26 years. We own the space we're in, so I'm hoping not to go anywhere else. This is my ideal. You'll find me here next year and hopefully in 10 years, in 20 years.” Beyond that, I'm not sure I can say any more, but I think the online buyer has to be just as wary, but perhaps in different ways. Sharon: What kinds of ways? As to the right questions? Jeff: The questions I get asked a lot: I get asked if I could send a video of the piece in natural light because they're concerned about the color. You know what? They should be. We have great photographic resources. Frequently I will decline to let my team sell a piece online because we can't get a picture that properly shows the color of a colored stone. Even though it looks right on our screens, which are calibrated, it's going to look really different on a phone. Phone screens are the best. It's going to look better on a phone than it might even look in person. It's going to look different on different screens. So, I think it's not a bad thing to ask some questions. Personally, I would call and say, “What does this look like in person? Can you describe it?” That's a frequent question, and I think it's a good one. People ask about the guarantee. You and I have discussed many times that the 10-second lecture on buying online is all about the guarantee. You have to be guaranteed that you can return something you don't like for any reason, no questions asked. Sharon: If I knew I could return something without any questions asked, I'd probably feel more comfortable, at least on some of these purchases. Jeff: I agree completely. There are many situations where you can't return pieces that are online and where you can't inspect them in person. As dealers, we can deal with having a certain amount of loss. Maybe in this particular situation, you buy from them several times a year, and maybe two or three pieces aren't right and you have to fix them. You hope to sell them for something close to what you paid and you move on. People say, “Well, it's just the cost of doing business.” As long as you feel like you're doing well overall, then O.K., that's great. But I think if you have a bad experience as a buyer, as a consumer, I would probably not go back to that situation. I would try to find some place you trust more. Sharon: That's probably good advice. Jeff, thank you so much for giving us your tips. I'm sure there are a lot more we didn't cover, but thank you very much. Jeff: You're so welcome. Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.

In 1821 George IV was the first British monarch to visit Ireland in modern times. It was a historic occasion for multiple reasons. Not only was he the first king to set foot on Irish soil since the 17th century but he was the first to do so without an army.Many held out hope the king's arrival might usher in a new era in Irish history.However George himself had other ideas. Beginning as he meant to continue, George was dead drunk on arrival. The following weeks were defined by pomp, ceremony and scandal - everything we have come to expect from a modern royal visit.This show is based on research for my upcoming book that never made the final cut.The book, A Lethal Legacy - A History of Ireland in 18 Murders, will be released on 14 September.

1823 verlieh George IV, König von Hannover und Großbritannien, dem bisherigen Flecken Leer die Stadtrechte. Daraufhin wurde Leer ein bedeutender Ort für die Schifffahrt und den Handel in Ostfriesland. In der Sendung blickt Plattreporter Frank Jakobs auf die 200-jährige Stadtgeschichte zurück, besucht besondere Ecken Leers und geht der Frage nach, wieso die Stadt eine beliebte Kulisse für Krimis geworden ist.

Bill Richmond is one of the most important figures in the history of boxing, British sport and in Black British culture. Born into slavery in America in the 1760s, when he was 13 he met Hugh Percy, the future 2nd Duke of Northumberland, who was able to arrange for Bill to be freed. In Britain, Bill received an education and a trade before entering the world of boxing - where he became a superstar.To find out more about Richmond, hosts Daniel and Deborah spoke to Luke G Williams, the author of biography Richmond Unchained. Luke explains the connection between Bill and Percy, what made him so exceptional as a boxer (and what boxing was like 200 years ago), and how Bill ended up at the 1821 coronation of George IV.We did have some technical problems in the recording of our conversation, so you may notice some issues in sound quality and sound levels. Our apologies for this, but we hope you'll still hear Luke's fascinating insights and research as clearly as possible.If you enjoyed the episode, we highly recommend picking up a copy of Richmond Unchained, available from all good bookshops and online retailers.Please subscribe to the Alnwick Castle Podcast to make sure you don't miss any future episodes.

Socialite, wit and fashion influencer Beau Brummell fled to France on 16th May, 1816, in order to escape his creditors, from whom he had racked up around £600,000 of gambling debts. Staying at Dessin's Hotel, he entertained in his apartments while learning French and writing his memoirs, biding his time until his bestie George IV appointed him to the British consul in nearby Caen. But the position lasted only two years, and eventually he was jailed for his mounting debts in France. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly track the highs and lows of this iconic dandy's relationship with the Palace; consider how his career in the consulate came to such a rapid end; and explore his influence on gentleman's fashion ever since…  Further Reading: • ‘Beau Brummell - The Ultimate Man of Style, By Ian Kelly' (Atria Books, 2013):  https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Beau_Brummell/z0bihH_cbTgC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Beau+Brummell&printsec=frontcover • ‘Regency London: Where did the Ton spend their time?'

Nos anais da história britânica, a Maçonaria ocupa um lugar distinto. Esta sociedade centenária, envolta em simbolismo e conhecida por seus rituais maçônicos, se interligou com a Família Real Britânica de maneiras fascinantes. A relação entre a Maçonaria e a Família Real é tão complexa quanto duradoura, uma fusão de tradição, poder e mistério que continua a cativar a imaginação do público. O impacto da maçonaria na monarquia: uma via de mão dupla A influência da Maçonaria na monarquia britânica não é uma narrativa direta. É uma história de influência mútua e valores compartilhados, onde cada instituição deixou sua marca na outra ao longo do tempo. Os princípios de fraternidade, moralidade e esclarecimento filosófico da Maçonaria ressoaram em muitos membros da Família Real, que viram nela uma personificação de seus próprios valores. Esse alinhamento não foi acidental; A Maçonaria procurava atrair indivíduos de alta posição social, e seus princípios foram, portanto, adaptados para atrair a nobreza. Ao mesmo tempo, o patrocínio da monarquia à Maçonaria conferia prestígio e legitimidade à organização. O próprio ato de um monarca ou membro da realeza se tornar maçom significava um endosso tácito aos ideais da sociedade, reforçando sua posição tanto na Grã-Bretanha quanto internacionalmente. No entanto, a influência não foi unidirecional. Os ideais de igualdade e fraternidade da Maçonaria, onde os membros se encontram “no nível”, podem ter sutilmente impactado as perspectivas reais sobre classe e responsabilidade social. A participação da realeza em rituais maçônicos, onde eles interagiam com membros de várias posições sociais, poderia muito bem ter influenciado suas perspectivas e ações em seus papéis oficiais. A Família Real e a Maçonaria: Uma História de Envolvimento Os laços da monarquia britânica com a Maçonaria datam do século 18 e, ao longo do tempo, vários membros da realeza vestiram o avental do maçom. Uma das primeiras conexões reais foi Frederick, Príncipe de Gales, que foi nomeado Grão-Mestre em 1723, e esses laços real-maçônicos persistiram no século XXI. Notável entre os maçons reais foi o rei Eduardo VII. Iniciado na irmandade em 1868, ocupou vários cargos dentro da organização, incluindo o de Grão-Mestre da Grande Loja Unida da Inglaterra. Seu pai, o rei George IV, e seu avô, George III, também eram maçons. A monarquia atual continua essa tradição. O Duque de Kent, primo em primeiro grau da falecida Rainha Elizabeth II, é Grão-Mestre da Grande Loja Unida da Inglaterra desde 1967, marcando um dos mandatos mais longos no cargo. Influência da Maçonaria na Governança e Diplomacia Real Embora seja difícil quantificar a influência direta da Maçonaria na governança e na diplomacia real, é plausível que a ênfase da sociedade na fraternidade universal e na ajuda mútua tenha tido algum impacto. Esses ideais poderiam ter guiado sutilmente as interações reais com potências estrangeiras, encorajando a diplomacia e a negociação pacífica em conflitos. Além disso, a rede internacional da Maçonaria, com suas lojas espalhadas pelo globo, pode ter servido como um canal diplomático informal, facilitando a comunicação e o entendimento entre diferentes nações. A Influência da Família Real na Maçonaria Assim como a monarquia foi influenciada pela Maçonaria, a realeza também deixou sua marca na sociedade. Seu envolvimento deu à Maçonaria um ar de respeitabilidade, atraindo outros indivíduos de alto escalão para suas fileiras. O patrocínio da monarquia também ajudou a proteger a Maçonaria das críticas e suspeitas públicas, contribuindo para sua longevidade e influência. Além disso, os maçons reais geralmente ocupavam cargos de liderança dentro da organização, permitindo-lhes moldar sua direção e evolução. Por exemplo, o Duque de Sussex, servindo como Grão-Mestre no início do século 19, desempenhou um papel crucial na unificação de facções maçônicas rivais na Grande Loja Unida da Inglaterra, um momento crucial na história da Maçonaria britânica. O Enigma da Maçonaria: Rituais e Simbolismo O fascínio da Maçonaria reside não apenas em seu significado histórico ou em seus membros influentes, mas também em seus rituais e símbolos. Essas práticas, envoltas em mistério e ricas em alegorias, oferecem um vislumbre dos fundamentos filosóficos da sociedade. Os rituais da Maçonaria são essencialmente peças de moralidade, conduzidas nas reuniões de cada loja. Destinam-se a transmitir lições de moral aos membros, usando as ferramentas e a linguagem dos pedreiros medievais de quem a sociedade extrai seu simbolismo. Embora as especificidades desses rituais sejam guardadas de perto pela fraternidade, conhecidas apenas pelos membros, sua influência se estende além das paredes da loja. Os valores que eles instilam - de fraternidade, integridade e iluminação - destinam-se a orientar os maçons em suas vidas diárias. É plausível supor que esses rituais e seus ensinamentos tiveram algum impacto sobre a realeza que deles participava. Eles podem ter influenciado sua visão de mundo, seu senso de dever e sua abordagem de seus papéis, acrescentando outra camada ao relacionamento entre a Maçonaria e a monarquia. O futuro da maçonaria e da família real: um vínculo duradouro? Olhando para o futuro, a relação entre a Maçonaria e a Família Real não mostra sinais de esmorecer. A sociedade continua a atrair membros da realeza, que veem nela uma tradição de serviço e fraternidade que se alinha com seus próprios deveres. No entanto, ambas as instituições estão evoluindo para atender às demandas do mundo moderno. A Maçonaria, enquanto se apega a seus rituais e princípios, está se esforçando para abandonar sua imagem de sigilo e exclusividade. A monarquia também está se adaptando, equilibrando seus papéis históricos com a necessidade de se manter relevante em uma sociedade em rápida mudança. Neste contexto, a interseção da Maçonaria e da monarquia apresenta um caso fascinante de tradição encontrando a modernidade. À medida que ambas as instituições navegam pelos desafios do século 21, sua história e valores compartilhados podem servir como uma bússola, guiando-as em direção a um futuro que honre seu passado enquanto abraça as possibilidades do presente. Em última análise, a história da Maçonaria e da Família Real é um testemunho do apelo duradouro da tradição, do poder dos valores compartilhados e da intrigante interação da influência. É uma narrativa que continua a se desenrolar, cativando aqueles que mergulham em sua rica e intrincada tapeçaria. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/malhete-podcast/message

We talked about French, English, Welsh, where are the Scots？Yes, where are the Scots？This is when they come to England and they are called the Stuarts. 斯图亚特王朝, that's in early 17th century?Yeah, 1603. James I of England and James VI of Scotland was the Scottish king, and he ruled both England and Scotland under one crownJust let me add in one thing. I think if you want to know more about English history or British history, you really just need to remember a few names, but you need to remember the numbers. Yes. Because it's just the repetition of a few names but with a number attached to it.Pretty much.  Okay. So wasn't that the time for Guy Fawkes, like Guy Fawkes night, Guy Fawkes? In one of our earlier episodes, one of our very early episodes we talked about Guy Fawkes and the gunpowder plot. And James I was the man, the King that Guy Fawkes tried to kill. In the gunpowder plot. Yes. Now James I didn't die in the gunpowder plot and eventually his son Charles I came to the throne. Now Charles I fought in the English Civil War. He fought against parliament, parliament won, and King Charles I had his head cut off. I think similar to Chinese history, all these fight for throne and all these fight for jockeying for power, pretty bloody.  It was. Even as King or Emperor, you're not exempt. But the difference is that after Charles I was executed, England became a republic. So before it was a monarch. Yeah.Now it became a republic, but you still have the monarch, though. That's because Oliver Cromwell ruled the Commonwealth when we had no king. He became the lord protector; and to be honest, they were very unpopular, they were so unpopular that they actually asked Charles II, Charles I's son to come back and take the throne. 所以就把君主制又搬回来了. And this is called the restoration. 就是查理二世后面又复辟了, came back to the throne, restoration. It was towards the end of the Stuarts. In1707, Scotland and England became united in the Act of Union. So that is when we started to call the country Great Britain.  In 1707, before it was just England, Scotland, separate countries. And this meant that England Scotland became pretty much the same country but there are lots and lots of differences in the law, the customs, and we won't get going to it this time, it can get a bit complicated.  I mean we can use a separate episode to talk about that. Yes. After the Stuarts came the Hanoverians .汉诺威王朝 So the Hanoverians actually came from Hanover in Germany in 1714. They were the ones that couldn't really speak much English in the beginning. That's right, George I couldn't speak much English and was dependent on the first Prime Minister Robert Walpole.  We talked about that, that's where Prime Minister我们之前跟安澜录过一集, 讲英国政府的, 就讲为什么会有首相, 最开始的首相主要就是因为这个国王不会讲英文, he is like a translator. So around this time, later, you had George III, George III was the last King of America. Oh, and then they became independent.美国独立之前, 最后的一个王就是乔治三世. Yes. And eventually he became ill and was thought to be mad. And his son George, later George IV became the Prince Regent. 乔治三世的儿子也就是乔治四世, 也就是后面的Prince Regent摄政王. 我们专门录了另外一集节目, 就专门来讲荒唐的Prince Regent的. Yeah, that's a really interesting episode. And later the throne goes to Queen Victoria in 1837. And started the Victorian Age, 然后就到了维多利亚时代了. 维多利亚时代是1837年开始的, 1837, so Queen Victoria still belong to the Hanoverians. Technically yes. But because she lived for so long and also she wasn't one of the rulers of Hanover because she was not allowed to, because she was a woman.  Then we started to basically the Hanoverians were phased out. I see, I think then you're kind of fast forwarding to the Royal House now which is the Windsors. 然后就到了温莎王朝, 现在还是温莎, 对吧？Yes. Now this gets a little bit complicated because they weren't called

Billy Wagner is one of four family members accused of killing eight members of the Rhoden family in April 2016. The case has been called the Pike County Massacre, and it is Ohio's largest criminal homicide investigation ever.  Billy's wife Angela and son Jake have taken plea deals in the case to get the death penalty off the table for all four of them.

Hello again欢迎来到Happy Hour英文小酒馆。关注公号璐璐的英文小酒馆，加入我们的酒馆社群，邂逅更精彩更广阔的世界Hi everyone, and welcome back to Famous Brits Under the Microscope【英伦名人八卦堂】. Hi, 安澜. Hi Lulu, hi, everyone.We haven't done this for a while.No, it's been a really long time since we last did this segment. But I thought today I want talk a little bit more about the gossipMhm. We talk about the great people from British historySo boring...You can get a bit boring.Okay.Today I want to tell you about probably one of the worst kings we ever had.It's not the great, it's the infamous.Exactly. And this was George IV.George IV. 乔治四世, I'm really bad at history, so remind me.So George IV reigned in the early 19th century, but he was most famous for being the Prince Regent.就是摄政王, 是不是Blackadder 里面, in Blackadder  Hugh Laurie that character.He was the Prince Regent, and this was also the Time of Jane Austen.And we still talk about the regency as a time of architecture, art, literature, good manners. But it's named after somebody who was not a very nice person.And his time that was... when he had the power, when he's on the throne that was called the regency. That's right, 叫摄政时期, if you look it up in Chinese.So it starts with him being born in1762, his father and mother were the king and queen obviously. And as a child, even though he was a good student,  he wasn't stupid, he was more interested in luxury, eating, drinking, and partying. He was incredibly lazy.So it's basically someone born with really not just silver spoon, was like diamond spoon.Well put it this way. He got around￡14 million a year as allowance from the king and also from parliament.￡14 million?In today's prices, in 2022.And that was just allowance?That was just his allowance, but even with that amount of money, he was constantly in debt. He was overspending.What did he spend it on, partying? drinking? How much could he drink?

Contemporary poet and critic Leigh Hunt described George IV (1820-30) as a violator of his word, a libertine, over head and ears in debt, a disgrace, a despiser of domestic ties, the companion of demi-reps and gamblers without a single claim on the gratitude of his country, nor the respect of posterity.

Local Councils have so much influence on our lives and yet their work is unknown to most of us. Laura King has been involved in campaigning against the net zero/CRT/LGBT agenda coming from her local authority in the East Sussex city of Brighton and Hove on the south coast of England. Ever since royal party animal George IV fell in love with Brighton back in the 18th Century, the city has been a magnet for visitors in search of fun, frolics and fresh sea air. With its majestic Regency squares and crescents, iconic Royal Pavilion and famous piers, today Brighton is as well-known for being a diverse city with a passion for culture, creativity and its historic landmarks as it is for its eclectic mix of high profile, anti-establishment hard-left politicians and campaigners. In 2020 the Green Party took control of the council from the Labour Party after one councillor was suspended and two resigned following claims of antisemitism. This has had a disastrous effect on the city as it lurched from the frying pan and into the fire, this should be a wakeup call to all of us to the dangers of a progressive far left agenda on our local communities. Join us this episode and be inspired, hear the work that Laura and her group have been doing and respond to her rallying call to get involved at the local level. Laura King is a writer, comedian, poet and public speaker who accidentally fell into local campaigning when she set up a petition to re-open a local seafront road which had been closed for ‘exercise space' during the Covid ‘pandemic'. The road in question was set to never reopen, despite it hosting traditional events which raised millions of pounds for the city each and every year. There was no public consultation and no thought of what the closure would mean for the already struggling local businesses and thousands of residents in the city backed Laura's petition and it bought together a group of like-minded people who have proved an invaluable team for demanding civic accountability and keeping a spotlight shining on council activities, provoking constant local, and occasionally national media interest. The victory of that campaign became the start of a journey into the darkness of the local Green Council and the realisation of their anti-citizen woke agenda.

It had been 46 years. In all that time, apart from the 14 months when they had led the Ministry of all the Talents in 1806-1807, the Whigs had been excluded from power. But in 1830, they at last came back. A lot of that was down to the divisions in the Tory Party – now increasingly called the Tory Party again, even by its members – which under the pressure of civil reform (Emancipation of Protestant Dissenters and then the even more historic Emancipation of Catholics) and economic difficulties, had begun to split into Liberal Tory and High Tory wings. George IV died. William IV took over. Wellington mishandled the Commons. And the Whigs took over. With Reform of Parliament the great pending question on the agenda.

In this second episode of reliving the joys of what entertained us, Greg, a rubber duck and I express our worldly views on the importance of comedy and how the timeless classic that is Blackadder, starring so many wonderful actors, in many ways shaped our humour. Ben Elton, Tony Robinson, Hugh Laurie, Steven Fry, Rowan Atkinson, Miranda Richardson, and Patsy Byrne were all brilliant. That must surely have been one of the main reasons why it was so successful. They just worked so well together.The story lines were super and the historical characters they parodied, such as Sir Walter Raleigh, George IV, Samuel Johnson, and the fictitious Baby eating bishop of Bath and Wells played by the late Ronald Lacey.There is so much we could write about Blackadder, but I would recommend if you haven't seen it already, to do so. It was a special show that began in the 1980s and exhibited how truly great British comedy did such a good job of laughing at itself.Thanks, Greg, for your time.

PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEWCarrying on with our focus on historical scandal, this week we are heading back to early 19th century Britain. George IV had only recently become King, and now his wife, Caroline, wanted to join him. The problem? George hated his wife, and didn't want her anywhere near the crown. So began his clumsy attempt to secure a divorce, and one of the biggest scandals of the 19th century.The Ministry of History is a podcast that aims to take a look at some of history's lesser known characters and stories.

On this episode of the Irish History Show we were joined by Anne Chambers to discuss her book, The Great Leviathan, The life of Howe Peter Browne, 2nd Marquess of Sligo, 1788 - 1845. His story moves from Westport House in county Mayo to Eton, into the staid family world of King George III at Windsor Castle; through wild student days at Cambridge, on to Regency London and the scandalous world of celebrity, gambling clubs, bawd houses and theatres, to the sophisticated salons of Paris. Horse racing at Newmarket and the Curragh (he was a founder member of the Irish Turf Club) treasure-seeking with his college friend Lord Byron in Greece and Turkey, some of his ‘finds' are on view in the British museum. A sensational trial at the Old Bailey in 1812 led to his imprisonment in Newgate goal. There is a hint of double-espionage about his time at the court of Joachim Murat, King of Naples and with Napoleon Bonaparte on the island of Elba, while his sleuthing in Italy on behalf of the ‘prince of pleasure' George IV, (godfather to his eldest son) on the King's equally debauched consort, Caroline, is in the realm of high comedy. A passionate advocate of Catholic Emancipation, multi-denominational educationand reform of the nefarious legal system, he did his best to alleviate the desperate circumstances of his numerous tenants, aggravated by a rapid rise in population and by the ‘curse of sub-division'. He established manufacturing outlets in Westport as an alternative to the over dependence on land and encouraged trade, mining, fishingand kelp harvesting. As famine engulfed the west in 1831 he imported food, built a hospital and raised money for relief and public works. In 1834 Sligo was appointed Governor General of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. As owner of two plantations, Kelly's and Cocoa Walk, which he inherited from his grandmother, Elizabeth Kelly, daughter of Galway-born Denis Kelly, former Chief Justice of Jamaica, the planters expected the new governor to be on their side.Sligo's stated objective on his arrival on the island ‘to establish a social system absolved forever from the reproach of slavery' however, set them on a bitter collision course.Sligo found slavery personally abhorrent. From the flogging of field workers with the dreaded cart-whip, branding with hot iron, to the whipping of female slaves, ‘I call on you to put an end to conduct so repugnant to humanity' he ordered the Jamaican House of Assembly. To restrain the worse excesses he personally monitored the activities of the sixty special magistrates appointed to investigate charges of brutality in the 900 plantations throughout the island. Much to the derision of their masters ‘he [Sligo] gave a patient hearing to the poorest Negro who might carry his grievance to Government House'.He advocated the building of schools for the black population, two of which he built at his own cost on his property. He was the first plantation owner to initiate a wage system for black workers and later, after emancipation in 1838, to divide his lands into farms leased to the former slaves. The Planter-dominated Assembly accused Sligo of ‘interpreting the law in favour of the negro' and, as he wrote, ‘set out to make Jamaica too hot to hold me.' They withdrew his salary and started a campaign of vilification against him in the Jamaican and British press which, backed by powerful vested commercial interests, resulted in his removal from office in September 1836.

Thai royal update, review of Finding Freedom, and George IV's many mistresses

On the 200th anniversary of George IV's accession to the throne, this lecture considers whether or not he had any real impact on the fast-industrialising world around him, and the turbulent political times he lived through. When George was young, opposition politicians worried about the 'secret influence' the monarch could wield. By the time he died the limited power of the monarch was confirmed. But did the shift have anything to do with him at all?A lecture by Stella Tillyard 20 JanuaryThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/george-ivGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

Unbeaten in 9 league matches and a 3-1 home win against Leeds, Brentford went into the international break bouncing off the walls. The Beesotted crew met in the George IV pub in Chiswich High Road to discuss Brentford's unbeaten record plus loads more. In the pub: Billy Grant Dave Lane Matt The Allard Allard Jimmy Mac On the show tonight they discussed Yoann Barbet's sizest spat with Saiz which went viral on twitter - when he measured his hight against the Leeds striker after the player gave him a wee dig. Off the back of that, we asked if any Bees had tried to take the p!ss out of someone and it seriously backfired on them. We discussed the Leeds match and whether these Dean Smith winning and not winning runs are natural - or does every team have them? We talked about The Birmingham Three (Jota, Colin and Dean) and asked whether it is now a given that some players fit in certain teams but are completely the wrong fit for other teams. We spoke to James Marriott for Sheffield Wednesday podcast the Wednesday Week who told us of a couple of players who were outcasts in their former teams but fitted in like a glove for Wednesday. Whereas one other was brilliant for his team but couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo for Wednesday. We also discussed players who were complete misfits for Brentford - and asked our listeners to throw in their input. We will be creating a Sherpa Van Trophy Brentford misfit player competition over the next few days so look out for it on Beesotted twitter (www.twitter.com/beesotted) and vote. We also discussed Brentford's Boxing Day fixture move from 2pm to 7.30pm for the Sky cameras which has caused a huge reaction from a section of Brentford fans who are unable to now go to the match - feeling that Boxing Day evening should be a no-go zone for football matches with it being designated as ‘family time'. *** VOTE IN THE #BrentfordFC Sherpa Vans #Misfits Trophy.

Is it a fact that some players are great playing for certain teams but then bomb playing in other team set-ups for various reasons.

It's international week. Time to recouperate after a mad Saturday in Boro. The Beesotted crew met in The George IV pub in Chiswick High Road to shoot the breeze talking more missed opportunities. Discussing Phil Giles' bold statement that Brentford were a better team this season than last. Who will fill Rico Henry's boots now that he's on the long term injury list.

Blackburn are up next for Brentford as the international break has been put well and truly to bed. And for the Bees, its not been a bad window at all. Whilst the first team have had their slippers on, the B Team has gone on to beat Manchester United, Wigan and Dundalk in the past 7 days to really move some of their young players into contention for Championship team action. The Beesotted crew linked up in The George IV pub in Chiswick to shoot the breeze. And they chatted bout the new Brentford badge (aka Wasp-gate), the abolition of the idea of League 3 (The Whole Game Solution) and the contradiction of the football league fining teams for fielding youngsters in the CheckATrade trophy.
