Buddhist Lord: An Earls Conversion to Buddhism
The 6th Earl of Mexborough, born seventy three years ago, is noted as the first British peer to embrace Buddhism in full. Savile of Mexborough, a historic family lineage dating to 1766, has a past linked to Sir John Sivile and the exchequer. The thrice-married Buddhist Earl wed three times, most recently to Mrs. George Ritchie, a Presbyterian widow, and he has no children. His sister, Lady Annie Savile, once married Prince Louis of Wertheim who later joined insurgents in the Philippines and was executed as a spy. The Earl’s mother was of Jewish origin and a Catholic convert, and his long residence in India spurred his Asiatic religious studies leading to Buddhism.
