My icon is Claverhouse. John Graham of Claverhouse, First Viscount Dundee. "Bonnie Dundee." ( I recommend Rosemary Sutcliff's book). Court of Charles II sometimes. Claverhouse was from Scotland, but occasionally visited London. Charles II and his brother the Duke of York, later James VI & II, liked and respected him. Claverhouse - by then Dundee - died defending James' right to the crown.
No, I don't look anything like my lovely icon. Older, thinner and wimpier hair, and depressingly fatter.
