  Marvel at the jaw-dropping cruelty and mean-spiritedness of the 18th century's most unpleasant millionaire...James Lowther, 1st Earl of Lonsdale.
  It's a grim tale of bullying, duelling and irresponsible horse riding.

  Was he a corrupt British Politician? ( what do you think?)Was he an eccentric British aristocrat? (Of course) Did he cheat the poet, William Wordsworth? (Sort of)What happened to his ex-girlfriends (it's weird and disturbing)

  Does this make him a terrible c**t?
  YOU decide.
