The English Casanova - Augustus John Hervey 1755
Episode description
Its "All Aboard" when the 18th century British navy's most promiscuous sailor puts into as many ports as he can, with Admiral Augustus John Hervey, 3rd Earl of Bristol.
Enjoy a salty tale of multiple mistresses, naughty nunneries, and opera.
- How many brothels did the English Casanova visit in one day?
- What did he wear when looking for love beneath bridges?
- Why was he forever grateful to a horse
- Did he ever have enough energy to do any sailing?
All of these questions and many more will be answered in episode 34 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
Naval Officer, Politician, Admiral and member of the British aristocracy, Hervey is one of the Georgian era's most colourful characters and possibly the greatest shagger in Naval history. Hoist your mainsail and enjoy this episode.
