Discover Walter Espec (d Espec) and the Earl (Albemarle), whose influence resonates throughout history. Their oaths sworn on Cowton Moor near Northallerton in Yorkshire in 1138 showcased their unwavering loyalty and commitment to their cause. James William Edmund Doyle captured this pivotal moment in his artwork "The Oath of Walter l Espec" created in 1864. It serves as a testament to bravery and honor amidst turbulent times. Henri Eugene Philippe d'Orleans, Duke of Aumale, continued this legacy well into the late nineteenth century. His presence was felt not only within these walls but across Europe as he played a vital role in shaping politics and society during his time. Sadly, all stories must come to an end. In Italy, mourners gathered for the funeral procession honoring the passing of Duke Henri d'Aumale in 1897.
