The Windham Lunacy Case, ballad

The Windham Lunacy Case. Ballad about and in support of William Frederick Windham (1840 - 1866), the heir to Felbrigg Hall in the county of Norfolk, England. In 1861-62, he was the subject of a lunacy case after he married Anne Agnes Willoughby, of whom his uncle, General Charles Ash Windham, did not approve, causing his family to claim that he was incapable of managing his affairs. Windham won the case in a ruling that characterised him as eccentric rather than a lunatic
