    Mr Shelley has to wait. Another *1792 candidate has taken priority, a Trelawney- like french philosophe and, moreover, with influence on our main hero EAPoe!

    His lengthy biography, long in his thoughts, ideas and principles and short in detail (other data, dates , presences etc, much Like Metternich's own bio) :

    Victor Cousin (28 November 1792 – 14 January 1867) was a French philosopher. He was the founder of "eclecticism", a briefly influential school ...

    HOW 20 INCONTESTABLE MISHAPS OVERTURN AN OTHERWISE WELL-PREPARED etc

    Victor Cousin (28 November 1792 – 14 January 1867) could not unfortunately help us solve his mystery , immersed in his philosophy as he was. Let’s see if his almost exact (*1792) contemporaries can do it for him via an abbreviated 1724- 26 timeline

    April 1824 Byron/Fenton’s death

    In May 1824 Trelawny*1792, with a British military officer, Whitcomb, and a military engineer, Fenton brought a load of guns to the fortified cave in which Odysseas was based. He arrived.[105] Trelawny recorded that Odysseas commanded a force of 5,000 men, who killed over 20,000 people during their campaign.[106] Odysseas and his men retired to Parnassus after they learned the Greek government would not give them more funds.

    5 june 1825 Odysseaus Androutsos …was executed in Athens shortly before the (1824) attempt on Trelawny's life. Trelawny regained full use of his arm, but he walked with a slight hunch after recovering from his injury.[117] (Acc to d’Arcy Bacon’s*1778 (Jokn Murray*1778) account of rescue of J,E.Trelawny from the chieftain Odysseas Androutsos )

    Trelawny was bedridden for five weeks after he was shot.

    Zante, 6th August, 1825.On the 29£h ultimmo^ -(the day the first division of Greek vessels passed 'the island), a disturbance took j^lace in the town, "and an immense mob which had collected, began by beating a man, who is related to a boatman oc<5asSonally traiding to Patras. They then proceeded t0 the re&idence of Signor Cochini, who has resided here for two years^ and has occasionally contracted 'With the Turkish commander to furnish them with isupplies^ from Egypt, he being a protegee of the Viceroy. The windows were broken, the house forced open, and Signor Cochini only insured personal safety by escaping at the roof: all this happened, in open day, and although tlie house is situated opposite the Police Office, no officer or constables were to be found. After this, the mob proceeded to the residence of a Greek, named Croni, who is an agent to some mercantile houses at Alexandria, and in the course of business had likewise sold wheat to the Turks, His property was demolished before the police could interfere : and lastly, a person named Comiotti, (a violent Greek partisan, attached to one of the factions then in disrepute, who was formerly a Vice Consul at Prevesa, received a severe beating.

    20 October 1825 From Cephalonia, Ionian Islands, Trelawny (*1792) 2 writes to Roberts(*Feb 1789)about having been shot and almost killed.[33

    D'Arcy Bacon*1778 was one of the most remarkable Englishmen who went to Greece to help in the fight for independence against the Turks. In 1825 he helped the wounded E.J. Trelawny to escape from a cave in the mountains and put him on his way back to England. DÁrcy +2 Dec 1842 GRAVE LOCATION London: St. Mary's Church, Lambeth churchyard (grave disappeared? by unknown commentator )

    John Murray *1778 was a Scottish publisher and member of the John Murray publishing house. (published conte Pietro Gamba’s Narrative of Byron)

    My dear Sir

    PS Many Compts to Mr and Mrs Gordon.<5> Maj Gen Thomas Gordon (aka Lord Byron) *1788-, British army officer and historian, author of the History of the Greek revolution (London: T Cadell, 1832). His wife was Armenian, Barbara Kana (later Baroness de Sedaiges). He was not given a military title here as he was between military appointments at the time and was working on behalf of the London Committee to distribute funds raised in London in Greece. In 1827, he joined the Greek Army with rank of Brigadier. http://foxtalbot.dmu.ac.uk/letters/t...eferringPage=0

    5 avril 1827,Cadet Guillelmo Townsend Washington is on record visiting an amateur Aegyptologist associate and mentor*1775 , on his way to Paris.

    Who is Who :

    William Henry Fox Talbot FRS FRSE FRAS (/ˈtɔːlbət/; 11 February 1800 – 17 September 1877) was an English scientist, inventor and photography pioneer who invented the salted paper and calotype processes, precursors to photographic processes of the later 19th and 20th centuries.

    Julius Michael Millingen (1800–1878) was an English physician and writer. He was one of the doctors treating Lord Byron at his death

    "Epitaph" for dearly departed *92ers

    +8 July 1822 Percy Bysshe Shelley or perhaps just Edward Ellerker Williams

    +14 January 1867 in Cannes Victor Cousin

    +1 septembre 1867 à Lisle , Loir-et-CheFrançois, Louis Crosnier

    + 23 November 1872 Sir John Bowring KCB FRS FRGS

    +28 May 1878 John Russell, 1st Earl Russell,

    + August 1881 in Rome, Trelawny was seen in London at the funeral of George Leech on 29 October 1864 , was able to visit Augusta Draper in 1874 and Jane Williams in 1872. In August 1881 he suffered a fall while out on a walk. He was bedridden and died two weeks later.[192] His ashes were buried in Rome in a plot of ground adjacent to Percy Bysshe Shelley's grave. He had purchased this plot in 1822 at the time he had arranged for Shelley's ashes to be reburied in a more suitable site within the Protestant Cemetery.[181] At his request his grave marker bears a quote from Shelley's poem "Epitaph".[193]

    Most propably only Earl Russel's is valid.

    So , infact, what Byron Municipality of Athens and Misolongi town council are celebrating, this 200th year from 1821, is Fenton’s murder!

    In next, the “mishaps” narrative will first return to a couple of *75ers (M13 &M14) to then on details of Fenton’s post mortem and burial M15-M20.

    Not because any further proof is at all required but to give credit due and compliments to unknown author of www.praxxis.co.uk › credebyron › deathof for his fine sense of humor and originality of writings.

    HOW 20 INCONTESTABLE MISHAPS OVERTURN AN OTHERWISE WELL-PREPARED etc

    M13: Louis Marie Madeleine Ripault, dit l’abbé Ripault (né à Orléans le 27 octobre 1775, et mort le 12 juillet 1823 à La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin) est un philologue et un antiquaire (sens ancien) français.

    M14: THOMAS COCHRANE, 10th Earl of Dundonald, (14 December 1775 – 31 October 1860)
    Note : His alleged arrival to UK from South America does not tally with his arrival to Greece at same time/year. If any, then ANOTHER captain Cochrane was certainly, in South America 1824-25.

    M15: Acc to MILLINGEN’S POST-MORTEM REPORT : The only blemish of his body, which might otherwise have vied with that of Apollo himself, was the congenital malformation of his LEFT* foot and leg. The foot was deformed and turned inwards; and the leg was smaller and sho rter than the sound one.

    However Byron’s mother stated that it was her son’s RIGHT foot which was deformed!

    HOW 20 INCONTESTABLE MISHAPS OVERTURN AN OTHERWISE WELL-PREPARED etc

    M16 (July 1824) Byron’s /Fenton’s burial (source: www.praxxis.co.uk › credebyron › deathof) :

    Because of Byron’s former scandals (….etc ) it was decided that Byron’s coffin should go into the Byron family vault at the little church of Hucknall Torkard, Nottinghamshire a few miles from Byron’s beloved ancestral home, Newstead Abbey , but by the time of the funeral, Byron’s aristocratic peers had regained their sang froid and there was the embarrassing problem of how to pay ones last respects to the poet and hero of Greek Liberation without appearing to condone his still scandalous reputation. The solution was to send empty carriages, emblazened with their family crest to join the cortege, whilst not actually attending in person.

    M17 In 1938 the Reverend Canon T.G. Barker, bothered by rumours circulating that the poet’s body did not actually lie at Hucknall, and interested to investigate possible archaeological remains under the chancel, gained permission from the Home Office to open the Byron vault and examine its contents.To avoid too much public interest, the opening was kept secret. It was witnessed by a historian, a surveyor, a doctor, church officers and a deputation of local worthies - some forty curious people in total. The vicar’s account describes in atmospheric detail this somewhat strange ceremony."Reverendly, very reverendly, I raised the lid, and before my eyes lay the embalmed body of Byron in AS PERFECT a condition AS WHEN it had been placed in the coffin one hundred and fourteen years ago. His features and hair easily recognisable from the portraits with which I was so familiar...The feet and ankles were uncovered, and I was able to establish that his lameness had been that of the right foot".

    M18 Less reverend and more prurient was Mr. Houldworth the churchwarden, who noted that the poet’s "sexual organ showed quite abnormal development" and that the malformed foot that had caused the living Byron so much angst, was in fact missing. Inexplicably it was "detached from his leg and lay at the bottom of the coffin".

    M19 The vicar and his party were, it transpired, not the first to have disturbed Byron’s grave. Examination revealed that the lead shell of Byron’s coffin had been damaged by a previous, unrecorded opening, some time before the vault was resealed at his daughter Ada’s entombment in 1852.

    M20 Someone, evidently, couldn’t resist a final peep. And even now, two centuries after Byron’s birth, historians, biographers, and all those of us who still feel his fascination continue to sift through his remains - the letters, poems, lore and life-history – searching for some understanding of the enigma that was Byron. Genius or madman? Victim or tyrant? - the jury still out on Byron, and maybe it always will be. Perhaps George Gordon Byron never will rest in peace. But then again, peace and quiet never really were his style...

    Another major mishap....

    .....to follow. A first brief check shows it's not just a rare coincidence:


    Francis I (Francis Stephen; French: François Étienne; German: Franz Stefan; 8 December 1708 – 18 August 1765)[1] was the Duke of Lorraine and Bar (1729–1737), and later Grand Duke of Tuscany (1737–1765), who married Maria Theresa of Austria and became Holy Roman Emperor (1745–1765) and Archduke of Austria (1740–1765). His wife effectively ruled Austria and the Holy Roman Empire. They were the founders of the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty. The oldest surviving son of Leopold, Duke of Lorraine, Francis left the duchy for the deposed Polish king Stanisław Leszczyński in exchange for the Grand Duchy of Tuscany as one of the terms ending the War of the Polish Succession in 1738. The duchy and the ducal title to Lorraine and Bar passed to King Louis XV of France upon Leszczynski's death in 1766, though Francis and his successors retained the right to style themselves as dukes of Lorraine and Bar.

    Sir Charles Hanbury Williams, KB (8 December 1708 – 2 November 1759) was a Welsh diplomat, writer and satirist. He was a Member of Parliament from 1734 until his death
