Cash for Crowns
In season 3 of The Gilded Age television series, Gladys Russell is basically forced into marrying an English duke. The marriage enhanced the Russell family’s social standing and provided funds for the duke’s grand English estate. This practice was common in Gilded Age America. The lecture will share the stories of some of the more than three dozen women with Newport connections who married foreign aristocrats. This lecture is offered on February 12th and 15th at 2:30 pm.
