Mary Anne Disraeli, 1st Viscountess Beaconsfield (11 November 1792 – 15 December 1872) was a British peeress, a society figure and the wife of British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. She was known for her honesty and uninhibited remarks, which often scandalized the staid Victorians.

Biography

In 1868, as her husband introduced the Corrupt Practices Act which was meant to end electoral bribery, the British Templars plotted to kill Disraeli to stall the implementation of the act. The Templars hired men to kill Disraeli while he was in his carriage with his wife, but the plot was foiled by the Assassin Jacob Frye, who posed as their new bodyguard. After the attack, Jacob asked her if she knew of a politician wearing a cavalry uniform. Impressed by his skills, Mary Anne told the Assassin that she would help him in his inquiry if he escorted her while touring the Devil's Acre, one of the poorest and most dangerous districts of the city.

The next evening, as agreed, Jacob met the curious woman and took her to the Devil's Acre after chasing off scandal-seeking journalists. While touring the place, the Assassin saved her dog from being stolen by a gang member and eliminated the rest of his friends before taking Lady Disraeli back to Downing Street. Having satisfied her curiosity, Lady Disraeli told Jacob that the mysterious "B" he was looking for was in fact the Earl of Cardigan.
