Lord Castlereagh - Mount Stewart Conversations 2016

Thank you for making this available. It was a fascinating discussion and a great complement to John Bew's book about Castlereagh.

Would be great if this could be edited so we can see the video clips and not just watch the panel watching them

a) i've always liked Castlereagh thru references to him and his wife by Martha Wilmot (Bradford) in her letters from Vienna b) the panelists say that he contracted some kind of VD in college days, which means he must have passed it on to his poor wife. I notice in Wikipedia, they say that Amelia Stewart's hea;lth failed and she died in 1829 (this would be 7 years after her husband's death). I wish they would have said something about the effect it probably would have had on his wife when the subject was brought it up. I believe VD must have been rampant then without the medicines we have - and the wives would have suffered.
