누가 도로시 조던와 데이트 했나요?

도로시아 조단(Dorothy Jordan, 1761년 11월 21일 - 1816년 7월 5일)은 영국의 윌리엄 4세가 즉위하기 전 클래런스 공작으로 있을 때의 애첩.

본명은 도로시아 조단(Dorothea Jordan)으로, 워터포드(아일랜드의 맨스터 지방) 근교에서 태어난 아일랜드인이다. 배우가 되어, 예명인 '미세스 조단'으로 유명해졌지만, 평생 독신으로, 조던이란 성을 가진 사람과 결혼했다는 사실은 없다. 기혼여성이 무대에 서는 일은 드물어서, 칭찬의 표적이 되었기 때문에, 일부러 그런 예명을 붙인 것이다. 아름답고 재치가 있고 지적인 도로시를, 부유한 남성들이 그냥 놔 두지 않았다. 그녀는 1780년대 후반부터 클래런스 공 윌리엄과 동거를 시작했다. 정치적으로 애첩의 입장을 이용하려하지 않고, 자신은 궁정에서 어떠한 역할을 할 것도 없었다. 동거 후에도 그녀는 배우로서 무대에 계속 섰고, 때로는 윌리엄과 함께 사람들 앞에 섰다. 윌리엄과의 사이에 10명의 아이를 낳아, 그들에게는 피츠클래런스(FitzClarence : 의미는 클래런스의 아이)라는 성이 부여되었다.

윌리엄과의 관계를 계속하면서도, 동시에 경찰간부인 리처드 포드, 왕립극장의 매니저 리처드 달리와의 소문도 났다. 윌리엄은 작센 마이닝겐의 공녀 아델하이트(아델레이드 오브 작스 마이닝겐)과 정식으로 결혼을 하면서, 관계는 끝났다. 1816년, 파리 근교에서 가난한 생활을 하다가 죽었다.

Sir Richard Ford (1758 – 3 May 1806) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1789 to 1791.

Ford was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the borough of East Grinstead in Sussex at an unopposed by-election in February 1789. He held that seat until the general election in 1790, when he was returned unopposed for the borough of Appleby in Westmorland.

He served less than a year as an MP for Appleby, until he resigned from the Commons in early 1791 by accepting the post of Steward of East Hendred. (The by-election for his successor was held in May 1791).

After serving the Undersecretary of State in the home office, Richard Ford was for many years chief police magistrate of London, for which services he was knighted. Ford lived some years with actress Dorothea Jordan, who had three children by him, one of whom died. She left him when his promises of marriage were not fulfilled, because it went against the wishes of Ford's father. Ford later married Benjamin Booth's daughter and a heiress. His eldest son from this marriage was also named Richard Ford known for his travel writings about Spain and art collection.

Willem IV Hendrik (Engels: William Henry) (Buckingham Palace, Londen, 21 augustus 1765 – Windsor Castle, 20 juni 1837) was koning van het Verenigd Koninkrijk en koning van Hannover van 1830 tot zijn dood in 1837. Willem, de derde zoon van koning George III en koningin Charlotte en jongere broer van George IV, was de laatste mannelijke koning uit het Huis Hannover. Hij was ook de laatste Britse vorst die regeerde over zowel het Verenigd Koninkrijk als over Hannover.

In zijn jeugd had Willem de Royal Navy gediend en werd zowel in zijn jaren als koning als na zijn dood de Sailor King genoemd. Hij werd naar Noord-Amerika en de Caraïben uitgezonden, maar was nooit echt betrokken bij gevechten. Hij bleef altijd betrokken bij de marine, en onder zijn regering werd Edward Codrington, de "held van Navarino", gerehabiliteerd.

Hij had twee oudere broers, George en Frederik, die beiden stierven zonder wettige nakomelingen waardoor Willem op 64-jarige leeftijd koning werd. Tijdens zijn regering vonden er veel politieke veranderingen plaats. Zo werd in 1833 de slavernij afgeschaft in het gehele Britse Rijk. Net zoals zijn vader en broer had Willem niet veel interesse in de politiek. Hij was wel de laatste Britse monarch die een eerste minister aanwees tegen de wil van het parlement. Via zijn jongere broer, Adolf van Cambridge, de onderkoning van Hannover, gaf hij Hannover een liberale grondwet. Deze grondwet was echter niet lang van kracht.

Toen koning Willem IV in 1837 stierf, liet hij geen wettige kinderen achter. Hij had met zijn vrouw Adelheid van Saksen-Meiningen wel twee dochters - Charlotte en Elisabeth - maar die waren snel na hun geboorte overleden. Acht van zijn tien buitenechtelijke kinderen met Dorothy Bland, ook wel bekend onder de naam Mrs. Jordan, overleefden hem. Hij werd in het Verenigd Koninkrijk opgevolgd door zijn nichtje Victoria en in Hannover door zijn jongere broer Ernst August.
