Man who made the difference

Beau Brummell (1778-1840)

Beau Brummell

An iconic figure in Regency England, and fashion leader, famous for his elegant dress was born on 7th June 1778, in London, and educated at Eton College and University of Oxford. At the age of 17, Brummell became an intimate companion of the Prince of Wales, later George IV, king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and was for many years regarded by court society as a wit and an authority on all matters of dress and etiquette. While his fortune lasted, Brummell kept an elegant establishment in London, but he finally lost his royal friends, gambled recklessly, and in 1816 fled from his creditors to France. He obtained an appointment as British consul at Caen from 1830 to 1832, but eventually was forced into debtor's prison and died in Caen in a mental institution. He died on March 30, 1840, at France.
