Of them all, Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex, the sixth son, was perhaps the least deserving of the title. He was an active and outspoken champion of the great humanizing issues of his day - reform, abolition, emancipation - a keen student of the Bible, president of both the Society of Arts and the Royal Society, and for long Grand Master of British Freemasonry. But the Duke of Sussex was no plaster saint, His impulsive marriage to Lady Augusta Murray contravened the Royal Marriage Act, of which he was probably the most notable victoim, infuriated the King, and caused a furore in polite society.... the Duke .;..was made to feel all the drawbacks of his royal station while enjoying few of the advantages.
