It’s not a Regency novel if the Beau does not make at least one speaking appearance. The Egyptians thought you lived as long as our name is spoken. The Beau can rest well in the green reed fields of Osiris.
Thank you for sharing! The Regency era has a special place in my heart, and it's icons are among the most fascinating IMO (Beau Brummel, Byron, Mary Shelley, etc.).

Beau Brummel was a fashion icon and his "Dandyism" was a fashion trend in London in the early years of the 19th century. But because of his offending the then Prince of Wales who later became George IV Brummel was cast aside as an outsider.George IV did not want to have anything to do with him. His life afterwards was riddened with debts and the creditors were aftering him.He fled to France but died as a recluse owing to complications from syphilis in 1840.
04:33 - Wait, that's supposed to be the Prince of Wales? The PoW that Brummel was friends with was the future George IV aka the Prince Regent. You're showing a picture of the future Edward VII, Victoria's son and heir, who reigned a century later.
At 4:30 the wrong Prince of Wales is shown. This is the future Edward VII of a later time. I believe the Prince of Wales in Brummel's time would have been the future George IV.
@@ForgottenLives I enjoyed your report very much thank you for posting. I would like to learn about the rebellion by the Irish. The story about the Fenian men. There is a song .the bold Fenian men.
Syphilis is less common these days because it can be prevented via condoms or cured via antibiotics. With that being said, its first 3 stages either have no symptoms or have symptoms that imitate other, less serious illnesses, so if you do suspect that you have it in the modern era, go get a blood test for it and get treatment immediately. If it progresses to the final stage, it can cause deformity and (often incurable) mental illness.
....and according to my old English teacher (Mrs. Lutjen) that is where the term, "foppish would be wit" comes from. The 'dandy' reference went straight back to Brummell but not necessarily, mentioning him by name. Shout out to BOTH you and my teacher for giving such great lessons.
I admire this dandy dude!! I like to wear nice clothes too and smell good, but sounds like this guy looked down on others. He should have taught people about good hygiene instead of belittling them. Gambling is an addiction like drugs and alcohol.
One of my favorite gags from the Simpsons is a scene where they show a grand Georgian house with 2 curving stone iron-railed staircases in front. High-wigged pretty gentleman linger about. One staircase is labeled ‘Fops’ and the other labeled ‘Dandies’. So damn funny!!
Looks like Brummell had a nack for getting in good with the elite at that time. We will remember dandyism but will we remember Beau Brummell and his forgotten life?
Brummell was not a dandy - he was the anti dandy. He despised their 'way out' dressing style. He preferred class and understated elegance in his clothing
Wrong Prince of Wales picture at 4.25! The picture you put up was the eldest son of Queen Victoria, who was Prince of Wales then became King Edward VII in 1901! Beau Brummel was friends with was George, the son of King George III (who was Prince Regent as well as the Prince of Wales) who became King George IV. Hope this helps.
George IV was definitely heterosexual. Women, especially those with a motherly air about them, were a huge weakness for him. Beau on the other hand, I have no idea.

Coronet was the lowest-ranking commission you could buy in The Hussars, & therefore the least expensive. the 10th Hussars' were one of (if not the most) "posh" military units at the time. you could buy a commission as a Major or even Lieutenant-Colonel in certain foot infantry regiments for less, but if you wanted to work your way into high-society, being a mere Coronet in the 10th Hussars' was a better option.
NB - ERROR at 4.22: a photo is said to represent George IV as Regent, but the photo is ACTUALLY of the young Edward VII as Prince of Wales (nearly 100 year difference)!!!
Such shallow vanity! Every generation has its celebrity dandies! Another Oscar Wilde who thought himself more important than those who had been responsible for his elevation.
I would be terrified to have sex back then with so many people having syphilis. As well dressed and clean he was it seems like he would've been more careful, and I wonder if he married?
All I can think of is inspiring Sir Percy Blakeney from The Scarlet Pimpernel with being the lead dandy in British fashion and society with perfectly tailored elegant garments, immaculate renown for a proper cravat, and even having gained the favor of the Prince of Wales and having what appears to be a lazy blue eye, all characteristics of the novel, I have to believe Brummel was at least slight inspiration or a model for Blakeney! How unfortunate for Beau that his fate wasn't as similar as the literary hero's. Also, you do such a wonderful job portraying history and these stories - grateful to have found you and your channel!
A definitive bio of Brumnel rather ruined by stupidly using images of Edward Albert Prince of Wales and Queen Victorias eldest son and fashion plates of the 1840s. If you dont know your fashion history it would be better to leave out images.
So Beau is why we shower and brush our teeth/hair daily. Thanks Beau! And these men were the first “Drag Race”crew...fashion and shade throwing early 1900’s edition.
Beau isn't his name. It was kind of an honorary title bestowed on him by society. A beau is a rich, fashionable young man and George Brummell was the epitome of a rich, fashionable young man. Hence the nickname, Beau Brummell.
only ruined by showing a photograph of King Edward VII when he was the Prince of Wales - instead of a painting (photos not invented in the Prince Regent's day) of George IV when he was the Regent.

I caught that too and commented the same correction lol! Dandyism was long out of fashion by the time Prince Albert was in the military.
Great eye, wrong Prince of Wales, however Forgotten Lives is still wonderfully interesting!
