The angel and the cad : love, loss and scandal in Regency England / Geraldine Roberts. by Roberts, Geraldine. Macmillan, an imprint of Pan Macmillan, 2015.

ISBN:  9781447283492 (hc.) Description:  xxiii, 392 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, facsimiles, genealogical tables, portraits ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  At the age of sixteen, Catherine Tylney Long became the wealthiest heiress in England. Her estates in Essex, Hampshire, and Wiltshire were said to be worth £40,000 per year in rents - over two million pounds per year at current values. Witty, wealthy and beautiful, Catherine was the most eligible of young ladies and was courted by royalty but, ignoring the warnings of her closest confidantes, she married for love. Her choice of husband was the charming but feckless dandy William Wellesley Pole, nephew of the Duke of Wellington. William brought nothing to the union but his substantial debts and his personal charms. The pair excited the public's interest on an unprecedented scale with gossip columns reporting every detail of their magnificent home in Wanstead, where they hosted glittering royal fetes, dinners and parties. But their happiness was short-lived; just a decade later William had frittered away Catherine's inheritance and the couple were forced to flee into exile. As they travelled across Europe, they became embroiled in a series of scandals that shocked the public and culminated in a landmark court case.
