EspañolSIR WILLIAM GORDON-CUMMING, 4TH BARONET
(Redirected from William Gordon-Cumming, 4th Baronet)
'Sir William Alexander Gordon Gordon-Cumming, 4th Baronet' (20 July, 1848 - 20 May, 1930) was best known for being the central figure in the Royal Baccarat Scandal.
He was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Scots Guards and had served with distinction in the Anglo-Zulu War. Sir William was also a personal friend of the Prince of Wales.
As a result of the scandal, Sir William was dismissed from the army and retired to his Scottish estate. He never re-entered high society and remained bitter about the incident until his death years later. One happy note was that his ''fiancée'', American heiress Florence Garner, supported him throughout the scandal. The couple wed the day after the trial ended and went on to have four children.
