}} James Alexander Seton (1816-2 June 1845) was the last British person to be killed in a duel on English soil. ==Early life== James Alexander Seton was born in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, in 1816, the son of Colonel James Seton and Margaret Findlater. He was of Scottosh descent, being a descendant of the Earls of Dunfemeline. His grandfather was Vice-Admiral James Seton, governor of St Vincent in the Caribbean. Thanks to inherited money, he was a wealthy man with no need to work for a living.〔Beardsley (2011),p. 169〕 Seton served briefly as a cavalry officer. Between March 1837 and March 1838 he was attached to the 3rd, 11th and 12th Light Dragoons. His rank was never higher than that of cornet, and his short military career ended around six years before the duel. Despite this he is styled "Captain Seton" in many histories of the event. He married Anne Susannah Wakefield in May 1838〔Beardsley (2011),p. 170〕 and they had one child, Marion Frances. 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「James Alexander Seton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
