William Edward Peter Louis Drummond-Murray of Mastrick (24 November 1929 – 13 April 2014) was a Scottish herald, Private Officer of Arms, stockbroker and banker. He was also active in Catholic philanthropy. ==Biography== Educated at Beaumont College, he was the son of Edward John Drummond-Murray of Mastrick (1907-1976) by (div. 1936) Eulalia Ildefonsa Wilhelmina Heaven (d. 1988), daughter of William Anthony Raymond Heaven of Ashfield, Queen’s County. On his father's side, he was descended from the Murrays of Mastrick in Aberdeenshire and the Earls of Perth. His mother, who was half Spanish, was named after her godmother, the Infanta Eulalia of Spain and was descended from the Kings of Navarre.〔 In June 1954, he married Hon. Barbara Mary Hope, fourth and youngest daughter of Arthur Hope, 2nd Baron Rankeillour. They had four sons and one daughter.〔 He worked as a banker and a stockbroker, but his passion was heraldry and history, in particular, the Jacobites who numbered among his ancestors, including William Drummond, 4th Viscount Strathallan. He was also active in charity; he founded a volunteer service to help provide meals on wheels and transport for the housebound. When the nuns at one of Mother Teresa’s Scottish hostels had trouble with guests, Drummond-Murray of Mastrick slept in the hostel once a week to keep an eye on things. From 1977 to 1989, he was chancellor of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta in the United Kingdom. He encouraged the order's involvement in establishing nursing homes and a cancer hospice at the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth in London, where he was a chief executive from 1978-1982. 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「Peter Drummond-Murray of Mastrick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
