Summary

In 1797/8, society was scandalised by a chain of events within the family of the Earl of Kingston, a leading Irish aristocrat: daughter Mary eloped; the Earl murdered her seducer; daughter Margaret arranged a revolution among the United Irishmen; and brother Henry put it down with brutal ferocity.
