	Edward Hyde, 3rd Earl of Clarendon: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Edward Hyde, 3rd Earl of Clarendon, also known by the courtesy title of Lord Cornbury (November 28, 1661 - March 31, 1723) was Governor of New York and New Jersey and perhaps best known for the claims of him being a transvestite while in office.
		Some of the other tales (The ears buisiness, and that Cornbury had vowed to wear women's clothes one month a year), were written fifty years after the supposed events had occurred, and some of the suppositions that were made to justify them (e.g.
		Another frequently cited piece of evidence is that portrait claimed to be of Lord Cornbury dressed in women's clothes hangs today in the New York Historical Society.

	Hyde (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Hyde was elected to Parliament in 1640 and resembled most of his colleagues in being aggrieved at Charles I's disregard for familiar legal and administrative processes and frustrated in his own hopes of lucrative office.
		Hyde came to prominence only as his views changed, serving as the spokesman for many others who were alarmed by the growing violence of the opposition campaign against the King.
		Hyde's caution was disliked by Charles II and his influence waned until the events of the Restoration in 1660 proved his calculations correct.

	Lord Cornbury (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Edward Hyde, 3rd Earl of Clarendon, also known by the courtesy title of Lord Cornbury (November28, 1661 - March 31, 1723) was Governor of New York and New Jersey and perhaps best known for being that which he never was:America's first transvestite governor.
		Cornbury came to be regarded in the historical literature as a moral profligate, sunk in corruption: possibly the worstgovernor Britain ever imposed on an American colony.
		Three colonials, all members of a factionopposed to Cornbury, wrote four letters between 1707 and 1709 discussing a rumor that Governor Cornbury wore women's clothes.There are also some early documents that might be cited to support charges of having taken bribes or misappropriated governmentfunds: but there the contemporary evidence ends.

		In The Lord Cornbury Scandal: The Politics of Reputation in British America (1998) she argues that Lord Cornbury, appointed governor of New York and New Jersey by the crown, was the victim of a vicious whispering campaign by his political enemies.

		Hyde's complex thriller is based on a true story of a serial killer during the early days of the Nazi blitz of London in 1940.
		Hyde's downfall seems to have been a lack of ambition or interest in learning the business he inherited, coupled with an overeagerness to reap the benefits of his father's financial success.
		James Hyde, the main character in Patricia Beard's "After the Ball," a fascinating chronicle of the Gilded Age, conceded, "I got too much power when I was young." Shortly after the turn of the century, Hyde appeared to be coasting to glory in charmed young adulthood affluence.
