誰がOlga Zherebtsovaとデートしましたか？

Olga Alexandrovna Zherebtsova (née Zubova; Russian: Ольга Александровна Жеребцова; 1766–1849), also known as Madame Gerebtzoff, was a Russian aristocrat and socialite, known foremost for her political involvement and love life. She was the sister of the celebrated Zubov brothers, Prince Platon and Counts Nikolay and Valerian.

After her brothers' fall from grace following Catherine II's death, they conspired with Count Pahlen to assassinate her successor Paul whom they viewed as the author of their misfortunes. The conspirators met and discussed their plans at Zherebtsova's house. Some maintain that she appropriated the funds the British government passed through her lover Charles Whitworth, 1st Earl Whitworth to the conspirators. "Once diplomatic relations with England were broken, Whitworth was ordered to leave the capital with all his staff".

Zherebtsova followed Lord Whitworth to England where she was shocked to learn about his prospective betrothal to the widow of John Sackville, 3rd Duke of Dorset. It was rumored that Madame Gerebtzoff extorted from her rival some 10,000 pounds before turning her attention to the Prince Regent, whose mistress she is said to have become. She is even said to have given birth to a natural son, named George Nord, after his purported royal father.

In the declining years of her life, Madame Gerebtzoff returned to the Russian capital, where she again became immersed in court intrigues through her powerful son-in-law, Prince Aleksey Orlov. In the 1840s, she was the patron of Alexander Herzen, who would recall her character and opinions with admiration in his memoirs "My Past and Thoughts":

Like a tree in winter, she maintained the linear outline of her boughs after the leaves had fallen off and the scraggy bare branches had been pinched with cold, all the more clearly demonstrating her magnificent stature, her daring bulk, and the trunk, though white with frost, still stalking lordly and sulkily and braving every tempest and gust.

ジョージ4世（英語: George IV、1762年8月12日 – 1830年6月26日）は、イギリス、ハノーヴァー朝の国王（在位：1820年1月29日 - 1830年6月26日）。ハノーファー王国の国王ゲオルク4世（ドイツ語: Georg IV.）でもあった。父はジョージ3世、母はその妃シャーロット。妃はブラウンシュヴァイク＝ヴォルフェンビュッテル公カール・ヴィルヘルム・フェルディナントの次女キャロライン（ドイツ名カロリーネ）。1811年から即位するまで、父の精神疾患により摂政王太子として統治した。

ジョージ4世の摂政時期とその治世下では19世紀に確立されたパクス・ブリタニカの基礎が築かれていたが、ジョージ4世の行動は無責任で利己的かつ常に取り巻きの寵臣の影響下にあると見做されていた。ジョージ4世は贅沢な生活を送り、新しい形のレジャー、スタイル、趣味のパトロンになり、ジョージ・ブランメルやジョン・ナッシュを支援して摂政時代の流行に貢献した。ジョージ4世は魅力と教養により「イングランド一の紳士」と呼ばれたが、その放蕩な生活、さらに妻キャロラインとの関係の悪さに、当時の人々は不満を持ち、王家の名声が落ちた。

ジョージ4世の唯一の嫡出子シャーロット王女は1817年に先立って薨去、そのため王位を継承したのは弟ウィリアムだった。
