- The Quarterly Quiz Answer
- The Quarterly Quiz: The subject of this Quarterly Quiz descends from Frances Hungerford (EN230), daughter of Anthony Hungerford (EN169). His Hungerford line extends back to Walter Hungerford, 1st Lord Hungerford (EN8).
Educated at Eton, he was a successful interschools boxer. He was a British peer who succeeded his father as Earl of an earldom that was created in 1793, at which time he took his place on the cross benches of the House of Lords.
He served as a lieutenant in the Royal Horse Guards and became Honorary Colonel of the 116th (Hampshire Fortress) Engineer Regiment (Territorial Army). He was also invested as a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO).
This Hungerford cousin of ours was one of the most influential figures in the world of horseracing. He was a successful and perceptive breeder, and a shrewd gambler on the horses that he owned. He bred quality horses, and notable racecourse successes included Highclere’s and wins in the Oaks and the St Leger.
He was such a close friend of Queen Elizabeth II that rumors of a romantic relationship arose, rumors that were denied. Can you identify this Hungerford cousin of ours? - Mission Statement
