James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan

"Tiresome man. Always blathering on about his military adventures."

―Mary Anne Disraeli describing Cardigan, 1868.^[src]

James Thomas Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan (16 October 1797 – 28 March 1868) was a general in the British Army noted for his role in the Crimean War. He was also a member of the British Rite of the Templar Order, amassing vast fortunes at the cost of the working class.^[1]

In 1868, Cardigan headed a plot to kill Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, whose Corrupt Practices Act was a threat to the Templars' influence on politics. Hiring men to kill the Prime Minister, Cardigan expected that Disraeli's rival, William Ewart Gladstone, would be more easy to manipulate. However, the Assassin Jacob Frye foiled the plot, tracked down the Earl with the help of the Prime Minister's wife, Mary Anne Disraeli, and killed him.^[2]
