	Get Rich City - David and Frederick Barclay
		The Barclay brothers were born in London to Scottish Roman Catholic parents and are reported to be close friends of Cormac Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor, the Archbishop of Westminster.
		According to newspaper reports, the Cardinal has stayed at the Barclay brothers' home on the Channel Island of Brecqhou and is believed to have blessed the brothers' private chapel and said Mass for them there (see [[2]]).
		The Barclays had owned these publications for a decade, and intend to use the capital raised on their other interests.

	Barclay brothers sue Times for libel in French court
		Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay, the owners of The Daily Telegraph, have launched criminal libel proceedings against The Times over a report about their business activities, it was confirmed yesterday.
		Monique Fauchon, one of the lawyers acting for Sir David and Sir Frederick, said yesterday that the droit de réponse was an important counterbalance to freedom of expression under French law.
		Shortly after receiving his summons, Mr Thomson said he regretted that Sir David and Sir Frederick had decided to take action in the French courts because they "were quite entitled to bring a case under British libel laws, which are among the toughest in the world".

		The Barclays are noted philanthropists and were knighted in 2000 for their support to medical research, to which they have given an estimated £40 million between 1987 and 2000.
		David Short, a journalist who previously worked on The European, said that he could offer no stories of "strong-armed interference, diktats, statesmannish grandiosity - zilch, nada, rien." However their executives, in particular Neil and Murdoch MacLennan, are controversial figures in journalistic circles.
		The Barclays have devised a flag for the island (identical to the Sark flag, with the exception that the Barclay arms are emblazoned on the bottom right), and have issued postage stamps annually since 1999.

		David Barclay opened his foray for the Telegraph with a May 23, 2003, fax on Monaco letterhead that featured his address in cursive script and PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL stamped on it.
		Barclay was in Monte Carlo, Switzerland or Brecqhou, from which he sent faxes on paper that bore a map of his island.
		At the Telegraph trial, Frederick Barclay testified that David was so exhausted that he had to dictate rather than type many of his letters to Black during negotiations for the paper.

	Observer \| Barclay brothers in bid to buy Telegraph titles
		The Barclay twins, the reclusive multi-millionaire owners of the Ritz hotel in London, have made a dramatic attempt to win control of Telegraph newspapers.
		David and Frederick Barclay have approached Conrad Black, the owner of the titles and several other papers, with a cash offer to buy him out for about £250 million.

		Britain's reclusive multi-millionaire Barclay brothers said today they had struck a deal to buy Conrad Black's controlling stake in Hollinger Inc, a day after the embattled media mogul was ousted as chairman of his Canadian-based empire.
		David and Frederick Barclay's Press Holdings International company said in a statement that it had agreed to buy a 78-per cent stake in Hollinger Inc from Ravelston, a private firm controlled by Black.

	BBC NEWS \| Business \| Profile: The Barclay brothers
		Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay have become notorious for their shyness about publicity, not generally a feature of media tycoons.
		Besides, the two were knighted by the Queen in 2000 for their services to charity, and their charitable foundation is thought to have donated around £40m to worthy causes over the past 13 years.
		Which all means the Barclay brothers have come a long way from their more humble origins in London.

		David and Frederick Barclay, who own The Scotsman newspaper, a retail chain and the Ritz hotel, beat dozens of rivals for the Telegraph Group, which owns titles including The Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph broadsheets as well as The Spectator magazine.
		The Barclay brothers started negotiations in January, signing a deal - later overturned by a Delaware court - with the ousted chief executive of Hollinger International, Conrad Black, for his share, which controls more than 70 per cent of the voting rights.
		The Barclays have a reputation for investing in assets rather than cutting costs, which may have won them the deal.

	Black, Hollinger and Barclay: Overview
		Beset by financial woes, disagreements with his board (which announced that it was suing him over US$200 million non-compete fees, management fees, expenses and other monies) and pending legal action by shareholders and corporate regulators, Black attempted to sell his controlling interests in the Hollinger group to David and Frederick Barclay.
		The Barclays announced that they had an "irrevocable" agreement to buy Ravelston's 78% stake in Hollinger Inc and 73% voting stake in Hollinger International for £260 million, preempting action by the latter's board.
		Black's dissatisfaction with much of humanity - in particular regulators and employees - is a trait shared with many of the leading magnates and as a guest or partner he appears greatly superior to Maxwell.
