Wiltshire Chronicles: Dukes and Wallflowers

In the late 1700’s, George St. Giles, Duke of Cranbrook saw a need for men of his ilk to band together in times of crisis and created the Wayward Dukes’ Alliance. It grew by word of mouth, until it was known by all Dukes’ and their heirs. This informal alliance is directed by the Duke of Cranbrook, whom all the dukes look for guidance when struggling with a difficult situation.

At the start of the 1821 season, six members of the Wayward Dukes’ Alliance, each connected to Wiltshire through relation and friendship, enter the ballroom as single men. One by one, each man will fall under love’s influence. The question is, who will fall last?

James Sunderland, Duke of Grisham

Merritt Dryden, Duke of Roxburghe

Levi Overton, Duke of Lennox

Julius Kensington, Duke of Warwick

Silas Morton, Duke of Beaufort

Harrison St. John, Duke of Mansfield

It’s hunting season, and the year’s sport is Dukes.
