:''For the 16th-century Lord Mayor of London, see Nicholas Mosley (mayor).'' Nicholas Mosley, 3rd Baron Ravensdale, 7th Baronet, MC FRSL (born 25 June 1923), is an English novelist. He is the eldest son of Sir Oswald Mosley, 6th Baronet, an English politician known principally as the founder of the British Union of Fascists, and his first wife Lady Cynthia Mosley, a daughter of The 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston, Viceroy of India and Foreign Secretary. ==Life== Mosley was born in London in 1923. In 1932 his father, Sir Oswald Mosley, founded the British Union of Fascists and became openly a supporter of Benito Mussolini. In 1933, when he was only ten, Nicholas' mother, Lady Cynthia, died and Diana Mitford, one of the Mitford sisters, who was already his father's mistress, became his stepmother in 1936. As a young boy Mosley began to stammer and attended weekly sessions with the speech therapist Lionel Logue to help him to overcome this disorder. He later said that his father claimed never really to have noticed this stammer, but despite this may, as a result of it, have been less aggressive when speaking to him than he was towards other people. Mosley was educated at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford. His father was interned in 1940 because of his campaigning against the war with Germany. Despite this the younger Mosley was soon commissioned into the Rifle Brigade and saw active service in Italy, winning the Military Cross in 1945.〔(''London Gazette ) Issue 37027 published on the 10 April 1945. Page 7 of 10〕 In 1966 Mosley succeeded his aunt Irene Curzon, 2nd Baroness Ravensdale, his mother's elder sister, as Baron Ravensdale, thus gaining a seat in the House of Lords. At the death of his father on 3 December 1980 he also succeeded to his father's baronetcy. In 1999 he lost his seat in parliament as a result of House of Lords reform. After his father's death Nicholas published in 1983 ''Beyond the Pale: Sir Oswald Mosley and Family 1933–1980''〔(Memoirs )〕 in which he proved to be a harsh critic of his father, calling into question his motives and even his understanding of politics. This book contributed to the Channel 4 television programme ''Mosley'' (1998), based on Oswald's life. At the end of this serial, Nicholas is portrayed meeting his father in prison to ask him about his national allegiance. Nicholas lives in London. He is a half-brother of Max Mosley, former President of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). 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「Nicholas Mosley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
