Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2063 house of lord ([-])

When Georgiana came to the pier, Ludrell had already disembarked the guests and walked slowly towards her.

"Ah, you are Georgiana." The man who was talking to Luderer just now said enthusiastically, "I finally see you."

"This is the sixth Duke of Bedford." She heard a voice say in her ear, but before she could tell who said it, she smiled and bowed to the Duke.

The title of Duke of Bedford was first given to his third son, John of Lancaster, by Henry IV of Lancaster before the Wars of the Roses.Later, during the Hundred Years' War between England and France, when Henry V fought in France, the Duke of Bedford became Regent in France for Henry VI, the last young Lancaster.

Although Joan of Arc turned the tide of the Hundred Years' War, she was finally burned as a witch, and it was the Duke of Bedford who bought her.

The Duke of Bedford has a longer history in the UK than the Hanoverian royal family where George III belonged, and their surname is Russell. The more famous descendants are the 11th Duke of Bedford. Bangsi raised a herd of elk, which later became the only one left on earth.

The other is the fourth Duke of Bedford, who was the Lord of the Navy and Lord Seal of the United Kingdom. During the Seven Years War, he strongly advocated peace and signed the "Paris Peace Treaty". The group, which existed until William Pitt Jr. came to power.

William Pitt came to power in 1783, and the fourth Duke of Bedford died in 1771. From 1771 to 1782, the Lord of the Admiralty was followed by a fourth Duke of Bedford From 1782 to 1783, three Admirals of the Navy were changed, but in 1783, when he served as the Secretary of the Navy, it was not the party members of William Pitt Jr. who participated in the War of Independence, but Lord North's group. member.

It was not until 1788 that William Pitt Jr. was "full-winged". At this time, his elder brother, John Pitt, the second Earl of Chatham, was the Lord of the Admiralty. The two brothers were able to reach this position thanks to his father William Sr. Pete's popularity.It was not until 1794 that William Pitt Jr. really established himself. At this time, his brother also stepped down from the post of Lord of the Admiralty, and he was succeeded by the second Earl Spencer.

However, in 1801, William Pitt Jr. resigned, the Earl of Chatham lost the position of Speaker of the Privy Council, and Earl Spencer also lost his position as Lord of the Admiralty. It was the Earl of St. Vincent who succeeded him and is still Lord of the Navy.

The earl has served in the navy since he was 13 years old, but he ran home after only a few months as a soldier.

Not all noble young masters read books with their maids in their arms. Justin Finch-Fanlieli has a finch in his surname. This family is also a prominent family in the UK. At least one of the earliest pioneers in the New World has a finch. ancestor.

Coupled with the fact that Justin had a grandfather like that, it made sense for him to join Dumbledore's Army and later the Battle of Hogwarts.

A lot of noble training is very hard. Unless you are a prince, you will have special treatment on the ship, but it is limited to eating and drinking. Women are not allowed to board the ship during service.

The little Earl of St. Vincent ran home once, but was sent to another ship by his two sisters, because he had a "conviction" as a deserter, and it was not easy to find him a captain who was willing to accept him.This time he was sent to Jamaica, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

He participated in the West Indian War, the Seven Years War, the War of Independence, and cruised in Russia during the French Revolution, but unlike Nelson, who was good at winning battles, he was good at administration and transportation.

Since he took office, he has been investigating the corruption of the navy and the embezzlement of public funds by the Royal Dockyard. He called these people "enormous evils". Because of the internal investigation, he hopes to maintain peace with France.In his early years he voted for William Pitt Jr. to "kill" Fox, and he later voted against some of Pitt's policies.

This time, the sixth-generation Duke of Bedford's family was sent to the battleship "Alarm" that he had served. Its bow was covered with copper and shone like gold in the sun.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" said the sixth Duke of Bertaford, also looking at the Siren. "I hear she served with the Sybil in Tobago during the Revolutionary War."

Georgiana froze for a moment.

"Although she is only a single-masted battleship with only 32 guns, it is far inferior to the Victory with three decks and 102 cast iron cannons, but she is just as brave. The Marquis' frigate drove off."

Georgiana noticed the "Royal Navy" behind him grinning awkwardly.

"I believe we will have enough time to chat later, the First Consul is waiting for us." Ludrell said aside.

"That's right, don't make 'Caesar' wait too long." The Duke said heartily, and walked forward under Luederer's guidance.

"Don't listen to my fiancé." Following behind the Duke, a young girl of about 20 years old said, "It was the Sybil who drove away the two frigates, and the Siren did nothing at all."

Georgiana looked at her.

"My name is Georgiana too, Georgiana Gordon, Duke Gordon's fifth daughter." The girl said with a hint of a haughty smile.

"She... who is she?" Georgiana said, looking at another middle-aged woman beside Georgiana.

"Her? She's my nanny." Miss Gordon looked at her strangely. "Is there any problem?"

Georgiana rearranged the relationship of this "family".

Miss Gordon, whom she took to be the "daughter," was Bettaford's fiancée, old enough to be her father, and Miss Gordon, who she took to be the mother, was Miss Gordon's nurse.

"Maybe she's wondering whether I should call you 'Mom' or sister." A teenager following them said with a smile.

Miss Gordon was not offended. "A lot of people get it wrong, Francis, and then they say, your father is lucky."

Georgiana recalled who Duke Gordon was, and the Duke Gordon said by Miss Gordon would never be the Duke Gordon of the United Kingdom.

After thinking about it, she figured it out. For a "grand duke" like Bedford, it's okay to marry a daughter of a "little nobleman" who is old enough to be his daughter, even if the lady's father is also a duke.

The characteristic of the aristocratic pedigree is not to highlight the title, but to highlight the people who have important deeds and the complicated relationship. At least the appearance of "Lancaster" and the French Regent can be distinguished from the nobility with only titles.

At present, Napoleon has not proclaimed himself emperor, and the Duke of Bedford's identity is not as good as that of a blood-related prince.

"The fifth Duke has no heirs. He is the eldest son of Old John." Miss Gordon said calmly, "So his younger brother John Jr. became the sixth Duke."

Georgiana didn't know how to answer, should she say "he's lucky"?
"The former duke liked to raise sheep very much, and my fiancé was also very interested in agronomy. They both knew Arthur Young." Miss Gordon continued, "I heard you are an agronomist?"

Georgiana looked at the "duchess".

There might be people who thought it a miserable thing to be married to an old widower, and even cry with bloodshot eyes the day before the wedding, but Miss Gordon was not one of them.

"I'm not an agronomist, but a horticulturalist who tends flowers and plants." Georgiana said modestly, "Do you like roses, lady."
