Lord Frederick William Charles Nicholas Wentworth Hervey (26 November 1961–26 January 1998) was the only child born to the 6th Marquess of Bristol by his second wife (m. 1960) Lady Juliet Wentworth-FitzWilliam. ==Family== Lord Nicholas's mother was the only child of the wealthy 8th Earl Fitzwilliam; she was 13 years old when her father died in a small aircraft crash that also killed his intended second wife Kathleen Cavendish, Marchioness of Hartington, sister of John F. Kennedy, in 1948. Lady Juliet was the sole heir to her father's estate, then estimated at £45 million. As an adult, she ran a family stud farm. Nicholas' father was Victor Hervey, 6th Marquess of Bristol. He also had significant inherited wealth, which he invested into new, albeit minor, businesses. He was once tagged "Mayfair's No. 1 Playboy," in a series of "life story" articles he authored after he served a minor gaol sentence for jewel robbery which, he said, he did for a dare. Nicholas Hervey's parents married in 1960, his father for the second time, his mother for the first. He was the only child of that marriage. Lord Nicholas was a descendent of William the Conqueror on both his mother's and father's side, and his consanguinity index is .1%.〔Burke's Peerage, Baronetage and Knightage edited by Peter Townend, 105th edition, London, 1970.〕 He was next heir to the title Marquess of Bristol after his elder half-brother John, the 7th Marquess, the only child of his father's first marriage. His father was noted for being cruel to his eldest son but having good relations with Nicholas. "He treated his son and heir with indifference and contempt," said British-American writer Anthony Haden-Guest.〔Haden-Guest, Anthony. (The end of the peer ), ''The Observer'', 22 January 2006. Accessed 17 May 2008.〕 This brother was a tabloid fixture, known for his heroin and cocaine addictions, lavish parties, bisexuality and use of male prostitutes; he served two gaol terms for drugs offences and went through an estimated excess of £30 million, comprising both inheritance and investments, and died at 44 with only £5,000 left.〔Masters, Brian. (The House of Hervey: Bats in the family belfry ), ''The Spectator'', 12 May 2001. Accessed 17 May 2008.〕 Nicholas and his elder brother John were fond of one another.〔p.228 THE HOUSE OF HERVEY by Michael De-la-Noy (Constable, ISBN 1-84119-309-7)〕 When Nicholas was 11 years old, his mother divorced his father and married his 60-year-old friend, Somerset de Chair (d. 1996), with whom she had a daughter, Helena de Chair, five years later. In 1996, she married a third time and is now known as Lady Juliet Tadgell. Nicholas's father's final marriage was to his private secretary, Yvonne Sutton. The couple had three additional children, such that Nicholas's other half-siblings were Fred, the 8th Marquess, at whose Catholic christening Nicholas stood godfather, and the media personalities Lady Victoria Hervey and Lady Isabella Hervey (the face of ''Playboy'' UK). 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「Lord Nicholas Hervey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
