  Capel Lofft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Capel Lofft (November 14, 1751 - May 26, 1824), was an English miscellaneous writer.
He was a prolific writer on a variety of topics, a vigorous contentious advocate of parliamentary and other reforms, and carried on a voluminous correspondence with all the literary men of his time.
His fourth son Capel Lofft, the younger (1806-1873), also a writer on various topics, inherited his father's liberal ideas and principles, and carried them in youth to greater extremes.

 Chanel biography
Arthur Capel had, by this time, become very important to her and he lent her the money to buy a shop at 21 rue Cambon.
She became more fond of “Boy” Capel and her circle of friends became more cosmopolitan, with singers, artists and actors all being part of the set who regularly visited Etienne’s chateau de Royallieu.
When she was 36 years old, in October 1919 Chanel became registered as a coutourière and moved further along the same street in Paris; 31 rue Cambon was to remain the House of Chanel for the rest of her life.

 Timothy Dalton's Web Site - Review of Chanel Solitaire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Arthur (Boy) Capel, Esquire, is the lover of Gabriel "Coco" Chanel, a young woman (Marie-France Pisier), abandoned by her father at an early age, but who, despite that, rose to some prominence as the "stable boy" of a former cavalry-officer-turned-wealthy-horse-breeder (Rutger Hauer).
Boy, a wealthy Englishman, who wheels and deals in the international coal market, and whose mistresses "are without number," wines and dines Coco, revealing he, too, is someone who has risen from obscurity, having been born "on the wrong side of the blanket," thus being a bastard.
Boy announces his presence by singing her a brief, popular rhyme, and her comment about his appearing ridiculous in the gymkanas and knee socks of the British officer is as true a statement as was ever uttered on celluloid.

"That leaves no other time." In the '20s, Chanel filled her off-hours with Arthur ("Boy") Capel, a wealthy English polo player whose lavish gifts of jewels served as the keystones of Coco's astonishing collection, and whose blazer--lent to the designer on a chilly day at the polo grounds--became the source of her famous box jacket.
From the Duke of Westminster, Chanel's most renowned amour, came more jewels: these she had copied, setting off the costume-jewelry vogue.

Born on November 14th., 1751, to a prosperous family, a precocious boy, Capel Lofft cultivated early on a taste for poetry, music and natural history.
Romanticism, as such, was the History of Europe and of America in a literary nutshell, idealized and allegorized in the poetry of literally hundreds of extremely gifted and outspoken, individualistic, freedom-loving poets of the day.
