Klappentext

The Huguenot Mariette family, which came to London from the Orléans region of France, had an important impact on the Powell branch of my ancestors, through marriage, inheritance and business interests, so I feel justified in presenting their history, which is an interesting one in its own right, as a consequential aspect of my own heritage.

An Appendix is included that tells the story of Major Charles Jones, a relation of the Mariettes, who was a key figure in the Sellis scandal, which rocked England in 1810. His evidence, which only came to light in 1970, implicates the Duke of Cumberland, an uncle of Queen Victoria, in the murder of his own valet, Joseph Sellis.
