Lady Hester Stanhope at Dar Joon in Lebanon
In 1818 Lady Hester Stanhope settled at Dar Joon atop a Lebanon mount, ruling a group of Arabs and slaves behind a fortress wall. She clashed with Emir Beshyr, backed both Abdallah Pasha and Sheykh Beshyr, then spied and harbored fugitives, later turning to astrology and prophetic talks with Lamartine. Her nurse and doctor described her odd habits, disdain for England, and reminiscences of London life at Temple Bar.
