On the 21st of May 1810 Charles-Genevieve Louis-Auguste-Andre-Timothee Deon de Beaumont died in London at the age of eighty-three.
Much has been written about the Chevalier d’Eon since that day. For anyone still unaware of this famous historical figure, please read the links below for a précis of an unusual life which also included diplomat, spy, Advocate, Captain of Dragoons, fencing master etc. Plus, we should remember that at one time, many of us would have been called an Eonist.
It is easy for us to read about such a figure without thinking about the person behind the story.
