There is a long tradition of having dukes as heroes in historical romance, but it appears they are becoming more popular. Simon Arthur Henry Fitzranulph Basset - the baby who possessed more names than any baby could possibly need - was the heir to one of England's oldest and richest dukedoms. This, the baker said to the blacksmith, was no ordinary baby.įor Simon Arthur Henry Fitzranulph Basset would not spend his life as Earl Clyvedon.
Church bells rang for hours, champagne flowed freely through the gargantuan castle that the newborn would call home, and the entire village of Clyvedon quit work to partake of the feast and holiday ordered by the young earl's father.
The birth of Simon Arthur Henry Fitzranulph Basset, Earl Clyvedon, was met with great celebration.
They are arrogant, wealthy, powerful, confident, handsome, and often dangerous - and it seems they are everywhere! I am talking about dukes, of course.
