Postscript summary

Using the archives of Belvoir Castle, the family seat, this dual biography explores the contrasting lives of Charles Manners and his younger sibling Robert. While Charles became a Whig politician before inheriting a dukedom from his grandfather, Robert rose through the ranks of the Navy to become post-captain of the Resolution and died fighting the Spanish in the Battle of the Saintes in the Caribbean in 1782.
