Costly Royalty and German Monarchy Burden in 1906
The article argues Germany bears heavy taxation to fund twenty two monarchies under the Kaiser, with small states under tiny populations. It notes Prussia’s large share of the empire’s population and expenses, including opera and theater costs, while rulers of Britain and Austria compare differently. It then shifts to the Vernon family history, detailing Sudbury Hall, wealth from collieries, and lineage through Sir Henry Vernon to Lord Vernon, with Harcourt connections and estates like Nuneham Park and Stanton Harcourt in Oxfordshire.
