John Brown (servant) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Brown (servant)
John Brown (8 December 1826 – 27 March 1883) was a Scottish personal servant and favourite of Queen Victoria for many years. He was appreciated by many (including the Queen) for his competence and companionship, and resented by others for his influence and informal manner. The exact nature of his relationship with Victoria was the subject of great speculation by contemporaries, and continues to be controversial today. ==Early life== Brown was born in Aberdeenshire, to John Brown and Margaret Leys, and went to work as an outdoor servant (in Scots ''ghillie'' or ''gillie'') at Balmoral Castle, which Queen Victoria and Prince Albert leased in February 1848 and purchased outright in November 1851. Brown had several younger brothers, three of whom also entered the royal service. The most notable of these, Archibald Anderson "Archie Brown", fifteen years John's junior, eventually became personal valet to Victoria's youngest son, Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany.〔(Scottish Tartans Authority )〕
