Anne Blunt, 15th Baroness Wentworth
Annabelle Isabella Blunt , born King-Noel , 15th Baroness Wentworth (* 22. September 1837 ; † 15 December 1917 ), also known as Lady Anne Blunt was with her husband Wilfrid Scawen Blunt co-founder of the stud Crabbet Arabian Stud . She was the first European woman to cross the desert on the Arabian Peninsula.
Life
Lady Anne was the daughter of William King-Noel, 1st Earl of Lovelace and Ada Lovelace . On the maternal side, she was a granddaughter of Anne Noel-Byron, 11th Baroness Wentworth and George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron . She was fluent in French, German, Italian, Spanish and Arabic and was a good violinist and art connoisseur. In 1865 she was a student of the violinist Joseph Joachim , who mentions her in several letters to Clara Schumann . According to her notes, her husband Bedouin wrote Tribes of the Euphrates and A Pilgrimage to Nejd . They were published in 1985 by Rosemary Archer and James Fleming as Lady Anne Blunt: Journals and Correspondence 1878-1917 in the original version.
Blunt and Lady Anne married on June 8, 1869, but the marriage was not a good star. Despite many pregnancies, only one of Lady Blunt's children survived, her daughter Judith Anne Dorothea Blunt-Lytton . However, her husband made no secret of the fact that he preferred a son and had a multitude of lovers. In 1906 Lady Anne left him when the then mistress of her husband Dorothy Carleton moved into the couple's estate. The stud farm was split up and Lady Anne moved to Sheykh Obeyd Garden near Cairo , where she spent the rest of her life. In June 1917 Lady Anne inherited the title of Baroness Wentworth in her own right from her childless aunt Ada King-Milbanke, 14th Baroness Wentworth . When she herself died six months later, the title fell to her daughter, who also reunited the stud after her father's death.
