Hanmer Warrington : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hanmer Warrington
Hanmer George Warrington (circa 1776 – 1847) was born in Acton, Nantwich, Cheshire, England,〔Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, Oxford, U.K., 2004-10〕 served in the British Army, attaining the rank of lieutenant colonel and subsequently became British Consul General at Tripoli on the Barbary Coast (in present day Libya), a position he held for 32 years. ==Possible marriage with the illegitimate daughter of the Prince Regent== An unresolved mystery surrounds the marriage of Hanmer Warrington to Jane-Eliza Pryce, who was rumoured to be the illegitimate child of the Prince Regent, later George IV.〔Thorn, Dorothy M., The Four Seasons of Cyrene, Studia Archaeologica, L'Erma di Bretschneider, Rome, 2007〕 Although never proven, this tenuous connection may explain why Warrington was able to maintain himself in unusual style in a villa outside Tripoli, and why he was never recalled, in spite of repeated diplomatic infringements, particularly towards one French consul, Baron Joseph-Louis Rousseau. Indeed, he was required to explain his sometimes aggressive behaviour to the Colonial Office on more than one occasion. This seeming immunity to severe discipline meant that he was able to entrench himself in his office and thus become an influential actor in the region's affairs, and able to contribute to the various Niger expeditions originating from Tripoli in no small measure.
