The Georgian Lordsさんのイラストまとめ

Sir Watkin Lewes, staunch supporter of Wilkes, was elected in 1780 as the first Welsh Lord Mayor of London since 1613.
He was often depicted with a leek.
His end was rather sad - arrested on the hustings in 1802, he died in the Fleet Debtors' Prison.

Was Louis XIV (died #OTD 1715) the worst best friend the Stuarts could have hoped for?
The (secret) Treaty of Dover committed Charles II to converting to catholicism & relying on a French pension, while James II was left an obvious target for William of Orange.
