Death Notes
- The Aislabie family, whilst certainly wealthy, were considered common, when George Aislabie married Mary Mallory, for some, this was overstepping the mark. How dare this nobody marry into one of the oldest families in the county etc.
  Jonathan Jennings Esq of Ripon took real offence to this marriage and called Aislabie the "scum of the county" poor Aislabie had to demand a duel, as in those days you couldnt simply say .....deal with it Jennings...... So
  duel fought, duel lost, Aislabie dead and honour restored. well no it wasnt really Studley passed into Aislabie hands anyway, so what was the point.
  
  All a tad Lady Katherine....are the shades of Studley to be thus tainted, indeed they are not.
