“A harmless bit of blasphemy and dressing up" from the chairman of the very FIRST Hell Fire Club - Philip Duke of Wharton.

He should support the establishment, but instead he makes fun of it.
Discover the debauched history of - arguably- England’s very first Hellfire Club.

  • What is 'Holy Ghost Pie'?
  • Who gives a bear cub as a gift?
  • Why did Alexander Pope hate him so much?
  • Why did the government shut him down?

All of these controversial questions will be answered in episode 44 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of bad behaviour in period costume

An eccentric member of British Aristocracy, he was one of the most colourful figures in 18th century history.
Friends with Jacobites, scorned by Whigs and secretly greeted by Freemasons, the scandal filed life of this hard drinking libertine was short but full of incident.
If you are a fan of British political history, drunken misbehaviour , cooking and blasphemy, you'll enjoy this episode.

Thanks for listening. Stay Roguish!
