This man was, until King Charles' difficulties, rich. Not just rich, but capital letters RICH.
He expounded Keynsian economics long before there was Keynes. He restored and built castles, employing thousands of workmen and in the process, allowed people to learn skills. The Mega Rich in the World today might take a leaf out of his book. If you 'skill' the labour force of a country, it makes the country a far better place to live. Send your money off to the Caymans and you find that your country isn't a good place to live.
Cavendish skinted himself fighting for Charles I, even when Cavendish and General King had decided that the English and Scots were beginning to fall out and waiting was the best policy. Interference by the King's Nephew. Prince Rupert forced the battle of Marston Moor. Parliament and the Scots: 1----- King: 0.
It was said of King Charles that he could neither be, or be made. Great. Cavendish went off to the Continent, where he met the amazing Margaret (Mad Meg)And her story of their time abroad is wonderful, so get it.
