The Marquis of Anglesey
Henry Cyril Paget, 5th Marquess of Anglesey Bt, (16 June 1875 14 March 1905), styled Lord Paget until 1880 and Earl of Uxbridge between 1880 and 1898, and nicknamed " Toppy", British peer, notable during his short life for squandering his inheritance on a lavish social life and accumulating massive debts. Regarded as the " black sheep" of the family, he was dubbed " the dancing marquess" for his habit of performing " sinuous, sexy, snake-like dances". He converted the chapel at the familys country seat of Plas Newydd, Anglesey, into a 150-seat theatre, named the Gaiety Theatre. Here he took the lead role, opulently costumed, in productions ranging from pantomime and comedy to performances of Oscar Wildes An Ideal Husband and Shakespeares Henry V. For three years he took his company on tour around Britain and Europe. Date: 1904
