Sir Richard Wallace, 1st Baronet

395:(1819–1897), known as Amélie, whom he had met in his youth when she was working as a dressmaker or sales-assistant in a perfume shop, an illegitimate daughter of Bernard Castelnau, said by some sources to have been "a French officer" and by others "a 36-year-old homme de confiance (factotum)" with her mother being an "ouvrière en linge (linen maid)". Thirty years before the marriage he had an illegitimate son by Amélie, named Georges Henry Edmond Castelnau (1840–1887), (later known as "Edmond Richard Wallace") born in 1840 (who predeceased his parents). In 1842, two years after the birth of his son, Richard Jackson was christened as "Richard Wallace", possibly in anticipation of a church wedding to Amélie, at which he would require a certificate of baptism. On 24 November 1871, six months after the marriage, Wallace was created a baronet, "of Hertford House, London", for his philanthropy to English ex-patriots during the Siege of Paris and the couple moved to England, where Amélie, by then Lady Wallace, lived from 1872 until her death in 1897. Amélie was not the ideal wife for Wallace in his new station in life as a famous millionaire socialite and art-collector as she spoke no English, and refused to do so, did not enjoy social events and with little interest in fine art was said to have unrefined taste.

functions of a great landlord, designed by the same architect who had remodelled Hertford House. He made many large charitable donations to the town, and was greatly loved by the inhabitants. After his death various monuments were erected in his memory including two stained glass windows in Lisburn Cathedral, on the south wall of the chancel and on the south wall of the nave, one financed by public subscription, the other by Lady Wallace. Also the Wallace Memorial in Castle Gardens, erected in 1892 by the residents of Lisburn in "grateful recognition of his generous interest in the prosperity of the town," comprises a 40 foot high stone and marble "square-plan tower with a steep crocketed spire topped with a poppy head finial, the front gable bearing a date and coat of arms, niches on each façade, one bearing a bust of the subject above an inscribed tablet, and on a three-stepped octagonal base". It is inscribed:

Bohemian by nature, he was unwilling to conform to Wallace's wish for him to become an English gentleman and to reside on the Lisburn estate in Northern Ireland. He had for many years as the heir apparent dutifully attended his father in England during important events, for example the first ceremonial visit to Lisburn, and at the shooting parties at Sudbourne, but his attendance became increasingly rare as he spent more time in France. Rather than marrying a suitable English lady, he felt loyalty to his mistress Suzanne Amélie Gall and to his four illegitimate children, and his decision to remain in France caused a split with his parents which was unresolved at the time of his early death in 1887, aged 47, predeceasing both parents. He left the following illegitimate issue, three boys and one girl, who were all largely unrecognised by Wallace and his wife: 115:
years until 1842 (two years after he had fathered his own son by his mistress) and the two developed a close bond. The 4th Marquess mentioned in his will the kindness that Richard had shown to his mother. He referred to her as "Aunt" and she to him as "Dear Nephew". This close relationship may have been sealed by the fact that both were illegitimate, Mie-Mie being the natural daughter of the 4th Duke of Queensbury by his Italian mistress. "They both suffered the stigma of illegitimacy, at a time when bloodlines in humans were as important as in horses. They both had to endure whispered gossip the moment they turned their backs, and the trail of scandal wherever they went" (Fairweather, 2021). Long after her death Wallace erected a monument to Mie-Mie in Sudbourne Church (the only one there to a Hertford in 120 years of residence) in the form of the stained-glass east window depicting
84:(1800–1870). He was born in London on 26 July 1818, to a certain Agnes Jackson, who according to Burns (2008) was in reality Mrs Agnes Bickley, the wife of Samuel Bickley, an insurance underwriter and member of Lloyds of London, and a daughter of Sir Thomas Dunlop Wallace, 5th Baronet (1750–1835), of Craigie Castle, Ayrshire, born "Thomas Dunlop", who had adopted the additional name and style of baronet on inheriting the Craigie estate of his grandfather Sir Thomas Wallace, 4th Baronet. It is unclear why his mother had adopted the surname Jackson, as she remained married to Samuel Bickley at the time of Richard's birth and bore Samuel legitimate children both before and after the birth. 358:
one had pulled the string and the big door had swung open admitting one to the interior courtyard where grooms in wooden clogs seemed perpetually to be washing carriages; the whole house belonged to him though he reserved only the first floor for himself .... the real glory of the house lay in the main apartment—room after room opened one into the other so that standing in the middle one could look down a vista of shining brown parquet floors at ivory-coloured boisieries on either side. Here indeed one had the 18th century illusion at its height. All around silent and sumptuous stood the priceless furniture of the Wallace Collection.

Scott was instrumental in restoring St Bartholomew's Church in Orford between 1894 and 1901. In 1884 Wallace sold Sudbourne to the banker Arthur Heywood, and returned to Paris, having become disappointed in his ambition to found his own aristocratic dynasty due to his son's refusal to live in England and Queen Victoria's refusal to allow the latter to inherit his baronetcy, due to illegitimacy. 106:"the most solemn assurance that he was not Mr. Wallace's father." It is possible that Wallace himself did not know the truth of the matter. However, he did at some point discover that his mother's maiden name was Wallace, and on 21 April 1842, aged 24, he was baptised in the Anglican Church in the Rue d'Aguesseau in Paris under the surname Wallace, with the certificate of baptism recording simply that the name of his parents was Wallace. Thenceforth he was known as Richard Wallace. 1067:

When Wallace visited it for the first time after his inheritance, accompanied by his wife and son, he was greeted by a crowd of 20,000 people and was welcomed in an elaborate series of ceremonies by the chief citizens. Even though at that time Lisburn was no longer the 296:(1847–1912) "of Connaught Place", London. Scott was the eldest son of Dr. John Scott, a physician at Boulogne-sur-Seine, and had been appointed as Wallace's secretary, in which capacity he had helped with the charity work and with Wallace's return to England, together with his art collection, after the Siege of Paris. Scott remained as the principal advisor to Lady Wallace in her widowhood. In Scott's time it is described by 102:(1777–1842) and mother of the 4th Marquess. Later in life, after 1870 during his court case concerning his contested inheritance from the 4th Marquess, Richard declined the opportunity to put his origins on public record, stating merely that "he had been brought from London to Paris in 1825 aged 7 with his nurse". It is however recorded in surviving correspondence that the 4th Marquess had given his second cousin 368:

Came, of 27, Mecklenburg Square".
979:"From childhood until at least 1871 Wallace's residential address in Paris was 1–3 rue Taitbout, which was owned by the 3rd Marchioness of Hertford (d.1856) and also the home of Lord Henry Seymour (d.1859). The Paris residence of her older son, Richard Seymour-Conway, was in the adjacent street, at 2 rue Laffitte, the major Parisian street for picture dealers" (Higgott, p.5) 500: 699:

I give such residue to the said Richard Wallace, now living at the Hotel des Bains, Boulogne-sur-Mere, and whose domicle previous to the revolution of February, 1842, was in my mother's house, Rue Taitbout, Paris, absolutely." (Quoted by Burns)

It was purchased by the 4th Marquess of Hertford, when his mother vacated it to live at 1 rue Taitbout, the next street 50 metres to the west. After Wallace's death it was eventually inherited by his secretary Sir John Murray Scott, during whose ownership the house and contents are described by 325: 485: 527:
By the end of the siege, Wallace is estimated to have privately contributed as much as 2.5 million (1870) francs to the needy of Paris. This is perhaps equivalent to $ 6.5 million in 2010 money. As a result, Wallace was thought to be the most popular British citizen inhabiting Paris during the siege.
