 Marriage to Cynthia Curzon
Lord Curzon was certainly a distinguished and imposing figure; his appearance was almost a parody of what a Leader of the House of Lords should be, but his dignity carried it without absurdity.
Curzon was a great public servant who deserved better than the shabby treatment he received in the end.
Curzon's limitations in the sphere of economics should not necessarily have inhibited his rise to the highest office of State, because others could then have taken adequate economic measures in spheres unfamiliar to the Prune Minister.

 The Viceroy's Daughters: The Lives of the Curzon Sisters (Anne de Courcy)
The Curzon sisters, daughters of Lord Curzon, Viceroy of india, were famous society beauties in the 20's and 30's, swanning their ways along gilded paths of privilege, as was common among the daughters of the aristocracy, especially during this particular era which was known as "the Long Weekend"...the era between WW1 and WW2.
Lord Curzon had married an American heiress who died young, leaving him with the care of their three daughters and access to their huge fortunes.
Curzon himself was no prize, surely one of the most vainglorious men ever to walk the earth, and his position as Viceroy of India fairly turned his head.

After the death of his fabulously rich American wife in 1906, Curzon's determination to control every aspect of his daughters' lives - including the money that was rightfully theirs - led them one by one into revolt against their father.
Cynthia ('Cimmie') married Oswald Mosley, joining him first in the Labour Party, where she became a popular MP herself, before following him into fascism.

Among them were Curzon, Milner, and, I may add, both for his own and his father's sake, another of a somewhat younger generation, Eyre Crowe.
All of these had devoted their best energies to the service of the State, and in their several ways they were to their contemporaries memorable examples of a type of character which has made the Empire great.
