Alexander Montagu, 13th Duke of Manchester, inherited one of Britain's oldest titles and almost none of the life that usually comes with it. Sent from England to boarding school in Australia as a boy, he grew up at a distance from the family seat and the expectations attached to his name — and spent the decades that followed navigating a world that recognized the title long before it recognized the man. This biography traces that life from the beginning: the childhood exile, the inheritance, and the long, complicated business of carrying a five-hundred-year-old name into the present day.

Biography
The book is drawn from hours of recorded conversation with the Duke himself. Rather than a memoir dictated to a ghostwriter, it is a biography built on primary testimony — the Duke's own account, in his own words, set against the record and told with the distance a biographer brings.
