Aristocrats

Decades of history unfold in a dazzling saga of privileged lives and sisterly devotion
As seen on Masterpiece Theatre
With characters, drama, and romance vivid enough for a masterwork of fiction, this story is all the more fascinating because it is true. Based on Stella Tillyards acclaimed biography that “made history sexy again” (London Sunday Times), it paints an intimate portrait of 18th-century upper-class life in England and Ireland through the eyes of four beautiful high-born sisters. Caroline, Emily, Louisa, and Sarah Lennox were great-granddaughters of a king, daughters of a cabinet minister, and wives of politicians and peers. Well-educated, strong-minded, and distinctly individual, they take charge of their own lives, tempting scandal with their unconventional ideas about love, marriage, education, and fidelity.
Starring Serena Gordon, Geraldine Somerville, Anne-Marie Duff, Jodhi May, Sin Phillips, Alun Armstrong, and Julian Fellowes in a sumptuous BBC production.
