The year is ~1908. I’m John D. Moneybags, an American millionaire and a widower. I’ve fallen in love with Maggie, the Dowager Viscountesses of Statelyhome. If we get married, what will happen after that?
Will she still be the Dowager Viscountess? Can I expect to live with her on the estate in England and bring my daughter with me in the hopes of marrying her into the peerage? I am willing to put any amount of money into the estate in return for the current Viscount tolerating me. (I posted this in /r/AskHistorians where it got upvotes but no answers so I’m posting it again here and another less strictly moderated sub.)
