Description
Summary:	Henry Cyril Paget, 5th Marquis of Anglesey (1875-1905) was born to inherit the Empire. Instead, he burned brightly, briefly and transvestitely through his family's vast wealth, putting on fabulous plays starring himself, charging round Europe dressed as Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine or sometimes a butterfly, in a car with rose-scented exhaust fumes. When he died, his vengeful heirs burned every trace of his existence they could find, and carried on as though he'd never been. Ouch.
