almina carnarvon castle countess earl george herbert highclere lord tutankhamun

In the timeline of Lord  George Carnarvon  of Tutankhamun fame there are  many myths and legends and indeed  lies  ( including damned lies ). These lies  surround  the life and times and death  of  George Edward Stanhope Molyneux Herbert,  the 5th Earl of Carnarvon ( formerly Lord Porchester )  of Highclere Castle, famed as the co-discoverer with  his devoted  lover Howard Carter of the Tomb of the boy King Tutankhamun in Egypt in 1922. Before the centenary let us hope the historical record is corrected and the truths told. The piece that follows by  William Cross, biographer of Almina, Countess of Carnarvon ( George's wife) attempts to correct some of the inaccuracies.All Rights Reserved

She befriends him, as well as those closest to him, and lives life in the last bit of 1923 and early 1924. When she realizes that she can save his life, she decides to tell him not to go to Everest. He is determined to go, though, which makes her mission difficult. Also... she falls in love with him while trying to accomplish her mission and while she spends time with him and his friends. He falls in love with her, too, and this causes problems with his married girlfriend Marjory. How will Sandy react when he realizes that the real reason why Katie glued herself to his side was to convince him to give up on his dreams? Well, regardless, it could ultimately save his life. Based on the true story of the mountaineering legend Andrew Comyne Irvine, or Sandy, the young 21-year-old Englishman who had a dream of summiting the tallest mountain in the world, and who aimed to do so with other mountaineering legend George Mallory. Whether they reached the summit or not is a mystery to this day. Sadly, they died on the mountain. Sandy's body hasn't been found while George's was found back in 1999. This story takes place right before Sandy leaves for Everest, and he is your average 1920's Oxford student.
