專家說明

Hugh Percy, 3rd Duke of Northumberland was a Tory politician who served as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland under the Duke of Wellington from 1829 to 1830 and as Chancellor of the University of Cambridge from 1840-1847.

In 1825, he served as Ambassador Extraordinary at the coronation of Charles X of France, defraying the expenses himself, "astonishing the continental nobility with the magnitude of his retinue, the gorgeousness of his equipage, and the profuseness of his liberality." The coach which he used at the coronation can be seen today at Alnwick Castle, the Percy family seat.
