OT-Earl of Shaftesbury

Legg inn av John Steele Gordon » 20 mai 2005 20:47:00

Six weeks after his missing father's body was found murdered in France, the
11th Earl of Shaftesbury, aged 27, has died of an apparent heart attack, in
New York while visiting his younger brother, who now becomes the 12th earl.
According to the Telegraph, this seems to be merely a tragedy, not foul play
or drugs or what have you.

The 1st Earl (in a desperate attempt to make mere tittle-tattle relevant)
was one of the founders of South Carolina. The rivers that define Charleston
Neck are the Ashley and the Cooper, named for the family.
