Prince Frederick Victor Duleep Singh, MVO, TD, FSA (23 January 1868 – 15 August 1926),〔(Photo of his memorial )〕 also known as Prince Freddy, was a younger son of Duleep Singh, the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire. ==Life and education== Prince Frederick was born in London as the 2nd/3rd〔Note: sources are conflicting whether he was the 2nd or the 3rd son.〕 son of Duleep-Singh and Bamba Müller, the former Maharaja and Maharani Duleep of Lahore. He was educated at Eton and Magdalene College, Cambridge where he read history (B.A. 1890; M.A. 1894). At Cambridge, he was a member of the University Pitt Club. He was deeply interested in archaeology, contributing articles to various periodicals and became a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. For 20 years he lived at Blo' Norton Hall near Thetford. He was a staunch monarchist, possibly due to his father's generous treatment by Queen Victoria, even hanging a portrait of Oliver Cromwell upside-down in his lavatory at Blo' Norton. His collection of Jacobite and Stuart relics (and the Cromwell painting) were presented to Inverness Museum. He gave to the town of Thetford the timber-framed Ancient House (now a museum) together with his collection of portraits. It was claimed that Prince Freddy was the biological father of an illegitimate son (born in 1888) after having an affair with Miss Goddard, an unmarried serving maid at the aristocratic Breckles Hall in Norfolk where he lived.〔(Routine test reveals white debt collector from Halifax is secret great-great-grandson of last king of the Sikhs )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frederick Duleep Singh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
