Notes

Based on J. Wake, Brudenells of Deene (1954), 349-445. P. Compton, Cardigan of Balaclava (1972) and D. Thomas, Charge! Hurrah! Hurrah! (1974), which was reissued as Cardigan (2002), concentrate on his military career. The most recent biography is S. David, The Homicidal Earl: The Life of Lord Cardigan (1997).
