	John Sholto Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Sholto Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry (20 July 1844–31 January 1900) was an eccentric Scottish nobleman, remembered for lending his name to the "Marquess of Queensberry rules" that formed the basis of modern boxing.
		He is often described as the 8th Marquess, rather than the 9th, due to doubts as to whether James Douglas should be included in the list of Marquesses.
		In March 1895 Lord Queensberry was sued for defamatory libel by Oscar Wilde, whom he had intimated was a "somdomite" (sic): Queensberry made the accusation because he was angered over Wilde's relationship with his son, Lord Alfred Douglas.

		Barefist fighting was driven underground in the 1860’s when the Marquess of Queensberry came out with the rules that were to change the course of boxing history.
		The spirit of man which is in a constant struggle to prevail, is always eager to see the expression of that urge in an association, in an identification, with the triumphant conclusion of a contest, be it of skills or strength.
		The Marquess of Queensberry and the smart, fashionable social elites of his day could not openly associate with barefist fighting, as it was, but the urge to watch this contention of raw courage and power would not be denied.

		Queensberry's son, Lord Alfred Douglas, gained notoriety as the object of Wilde's affection while a student at Oxford, and the scandal that ensued over the relationship between the famous author and the young aristocrat culminated with the legal battles that led to Wilde's conviction on charges of indecency and sodomy.
		He was himself a pugilist of some renown, and the very embodiment of a nineteenth-century British "sportsman"-an aristocrat who combined an allegiance to the elite sensibility of his own class with a penchant for gambling, drinking, womanizing, and an emulation of the ruthlessness and violence associated with the working class.
		Just as Queensberry's rules imposed a sense of order on the seeming chaos and atavism of prizefighting, so does the notion of masculinity that he represents walk a fine line between the constraints of "civilization" and the animalistic urges that have defined male desire.

		When the Marquess proved the truth of his defamatory statements regarding Wilde, and Wilde was in turn prosecuted for sodomy, Wilde was convicted and imprisoned in Reading Gaol until 1898.
