Good article! I looked at Montagu’s papers last year when I was in London, and a few months ago wrote a post about him and Thornton. So I’ll be interested to see the movie.

Excellent post! I had no idea of the story behind the emblem. I’ll definitely go see the movie, although Christian Bale is much cuter than Montagu! Perhaps Keira Knightley as Evelyn (since she’s in everything British).

A very interesting article about the origins of the Rolls and its’ emblem. And such a tragic love story!
