  • Résumé

  • “A harmless bit of blasphemy and dressing up" from the chairman of the very FIRST Hell Fire Club - Philip Duke of Wharton.

    He should support the establishment, but instead he makes fun of it.
    Discover the debauched history of - arguably- England’s very first Hellfire Club.

    • What is 'Holy Ghost Pie'?
    • Who gives a bear cub as a gift?
    • Why did Alexander Pope hate him so much?
    • Why did the government shut him down?

    All of these controversial questions will be answered in episode 44 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of bad behaviour in period costume

    An eccentric member of British Aristocracy, he was one of the most colourful figures in 18th century history.

    If you are a fan of British political history, drunken misbehaviour , cooking and blasphemy, you'll enjoy this episode.
