Interesting people in facts in this section:

I could feel no comparable interest in the portrait of Barbara Villiers (*). She seemed a cold, almost forbidding character, nor did the information that she was an ancestress carry much conviction. Not at least until many years later when, in the course of an official visit to Sweden as an Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office, I was presented with an elaborate genealogical table tracing my descent to a saintly early Swedish king. The connecting link, incongruously enough was Barbara. Sir Anthony Eden, Prime Minister of Great Britain. (*) Barbara Villiers was the nymphomaniac mistress of Charles II of England See the Eden family.
