Description

D'Éon de Beaumont (Charles, diplomatist and transvestite, 1728-1810).- Peter Henry Treyssac de Vergy...A True Copy of the last Will and Testament..., printed broadside with mezzotint portrait, 461 x 277mm., a little creased, unframed, [ESTC records 1 copy only (Guildhall)], W. Humphrey, 1775.

⁂ "Following the publication of the Lettres, mémoires et négociations Guerchy sued D'Éon for libel, and the case was heard in the court of the king's bench on 3 July 1764. D'Éon did not present himself and was found guilty by default. Sentence was postponed until he could be brought to court. He was subsequently outlawed. He had disappeared, adopting female attire as a disguise. He hid himself at Byfleet, Surrey, in the house of an opposition MP, Humphrey Cotes, a friend of John Wilkes. On 12 February 1765, on the evidence of an adventurer called Treyssac de Vergy, originally an acolyte of Guerchy but now an ally of D'Éon, the French ambassador was indicted in the court of common pleas of having incited Treyssac to kill D'Éon. The case went through several stages. Guerchy's residence was stoned by a Wilkite mob. The ambassador was recalled, and the chief cause of D'Éon's agitation was removed." - Oxford DNB.
