At birth he automatically became Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay. He would become popularly known as “Prinny” because a few days later the infant would be anointed as Prince of Wales, Earl of Chester, and heir apparent to the British throne. George, the eldest son of George III, was born in 1762. George rebelled against his father’s strict discipline. At the age of eighteen he became involved with an actress, Mrs. Perdita Robinson. This was followed by a relationship with Lady Melbourne. The Prince of Wales also rebelled against his father’s political views. Whereas George III preferred Tory ministers, George, Prince of Wales, was friendly with the Whigs, Charles Fox and Richard Sheridan. In 1784 the Prince of Wales, met a fell in love with Mrs.

    St Andrews and Aberdeen 20: Aberdeen and St Andrews Nicola Royan (University of Nottingham) Introduction A thousand thre hundreth fourty and nyne Fra lichtare was þe suet Virgyne, lichtare – delivered of a child In Scotland þe first pestilens Begouth, of sa gret violens That it wes said of liffand men liffand - living The third part it distroyit þen; And eftir þat in to Scotland A зere or mare it wes wedand. wedand - raging Before þat tyme wes neuer sene In Scotland pestilens sa keyne: keyne- keen For men, and barnis and wemen, It sparit nocht for to quell then.1 Thus Andrew of Wyntoun (c.1350-c.1422) recorded the first outbreak of the Black Death in Scotland. Modern commentators set the death toll at between a quarter and a third of the population, speculating that Scotland may not have suffered as badly as some other regions of Europe.2 Nevertheless, it had a significant effect. Fordun’s Gesta discusses its symptoms, but its full impact on St Andrews comes to us through Walter Bower’s lament on the high loss among the cathedral’s canons.3 In Aberdeen, in contrast, there survive detailed burgh records regarding the process of isolating sufferers: that these relate to the outbreak of 1498 indicates that the burgesses had learned some epidemiological lessons from previous outbreaks and were willing to act on corporate responsibility.4 These responses nicely differentiate the burghs. On the north-east coast of Fife, St Andrews was a small episcopal burgh. From the top of St Rule’s tower (see above), it is easy to see to the north, the bishops’ castle substantially rebuilt by Bishop Walter Traill (1385-1401), the mouth of the river Eden, and beyond that the Firth of Tay; to the west, away from the sea, the good farmland in the rolling hills and valley of the Howe of Fife; to the east, the present harbour.
