If anyone wants to listen to me talking about a despicable little brat from Newry on RTE, you can listen back to this Irish imperial lives episode below. Lambert Blair rose from being a small time trader on St Eustatius to become one of the largest slaveowners in the Dutch empire.

His portrait still hangs in Dublin Castle’s Portrait Gallery today. Some very entertaining letters survive to him from the Board of Works, admonishing him for his spending habits - effectively reminding him he was now viceroy of Ireland, not India!

Great episode from the “Irish Imperial Lives” podcast on Richard, Marquess Wellesley, one time Governor General of the East India Company and, later, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
