Lord Ashburnham

Lord Ashburnham, Bertram Ashburnham, 5th Earl of Ashburnham (October 28, 1840 – January 15, 1913); Aleister Crowley was on the crew pay list of Ashurbham's yacht Firefly in 1899.

“Scott, Burns and my cousin Gregor had made me a romantic Jacobite. I regarded the Houses of Hanover and Coburg as German usurpers; and I wished to place 'Mary III and IV' on the throne. I was a bigoted legitimist. I actually joined a conspiracy on behalf of Don Carlos, obtained a commission to work a machine gun, took pains to make myself a first-class rifle shot and studied drill, tactics and strategy. However, when the time came for the invasion of Spain, Don Carlos got cold feet. The conspiracy was disclosed; and Lord Ashburnham's yacht, which was running the arms, fell into the hands of the Spanish navy.”—Chapter 13
