This biography of one of the nineteenth century's most dazzling women is also a dramatic and exciting historical story set against a background of glittering cities and filled with a cast of fascinating characters. Jane Digby, born in 1807, was the daughter of a respected English noble family. At seventeen she married Lord Ellenborough (later the British Viceroy of India), but after just four years she left him for an Austrian prince - a separation that led to one of England's most scandalous divorce cases. That relationship was not to last long, however. From her prince Jane went on to the court of King Ludwig of Bavaria. Next she married a baron in Ludwig's court, only to leave him for the Count Spiridion Theotocky Greek count and, later, an Albanian brigand, Christodoulos Hadjipetros. In her forties she settled at last in a long and satisfying marriage to a Bedouin Sheik living half the year in Damascus and half the year in the desert. 268p. plates bibliography, index.. Book.
