I KNEW I remembered that name from somewhere! Annie too, huh?

Beau Brummel was a fashion icon and his "Dandyism" was a fashion trend in London in the early years of the 19th century. But because of his offending the then Prince of Wales who later became George IV Brummel was cast aside as an outsider.George IV did not want to have anything to do with him. His life afterwards was riddened with debts and the creditors were aftering him.He fled to France but died as a recluse owing to complications from syphilis in 1840.

Looks like Adam Ant fashion. Stand and deliver....

Syphilis is less common these days because it can be prevented via condoms or cured via antibiotics. With that being said, its first 3 stages either have no symptoms or have symptoms that imitate other, less serious illnesses, so if you do suspect that you have it in the modern era, go get a blood test for it and get treatment immediately. If it progresses to the final stage, it can cause deformity and (often incurable) mental illness.

All I can think of is inspiring Sir Percy Blakeney from The Scarlet Pimpernel with being the lead dandy in British fashion and society with perfectly tailored elegant garments, immaculate renown for a proper cravat, and even having gained the favor of the Prince of Wales and having what appears to be a lazy blue eye, all characteristics of the novel, I have to believe Brummel was at least slight inspiration or a model for Blakeney!

Wrong Prince of Wales picture at 4.25! The picture you put up was the eldest son of Queen Victoria, who was Prince of Wales then became King Edward VII in 1901! Beau Brummel was friends with was George, the son of King George III (who was Prince Regent as well as the Prince of Wales) who became King George IV. Hope this helps.

Thank you

Good video 👍👍

A regency influencer whose tastes and desire for elegance still impact male fashion today.

NB - ERROR at 4.22: a photo is said to represent George IV as Regent, but the photo is ACTUALLY of the young Edward VII as Prince of Wales (nearly 100 year difference)!!!

Brummell is one of my ancestors. Here in the US, we spell it as Brummel. I was born in the Chicagoland.

Coronet was the lowest-ranking commission you could buy in The Hussars, & therefore the least expensive. the 10th Hussars' were one of (if not the most) "posh" military units at the time. you could buy a commission as a Major or even Lieutenant-Colonel in certain foot infantry regiments for less, but if you wanted to work your way into high-society, being a mere Coronet in the 10th Hussars' was a better option.
