D'Eon overtures and royal bribery inquiry in 1765
A fragment of testimony recalls D Eon's alleged overtures to Mr Fitzherbert and two Privy Counsellors over peace payments. It traces hints from General Conway and Hardy, notes debates with Sir George Saville and Lord Halifax, and mentions the Princess of Wales, Lord Hertford, and the Duke of Newcastle in a labyrinth of inquiries and possible charges.
