To his dying day Douglas 14th Duke of Hamilton felt hurt by accusations of treason. Paradoxically the Duke would not be remembered if it were not for Rudolf Hess. Until quite recently there were thousands of minor nobility throughout the United Kingdom. There still are hundreds. Most are forgotten except by their relatives.
The Duke was variously a champion boxer, accomplished airman, the first to fly over Mount Everest, popular politician, RAF veteran, and successful businessman. Could he really have been a traitor to his country. I lay out the facts for you to decide.
