## Biography

Born to an Italian-French father and a British mother, Patricia Gobelin first arrived in London at the age of twelve. She was accompanied by her mother only, for her father met an untimely end while climbing the Pyrenees. She attended the best schools in the country and made her society debut in 1893 at Almack’s. She became the most-sought debutanté in the city, with countless suitors showering her with attention.

Patricia dabbled in the acting business, but her dreams of the stage were quickly swept away when the London tabloids caught wind of her love triangle affair with two opposing politicians caused her to retreat to the United States.

While in the U.S., Patricia Gobelin met and befriended Margaret Boddy (née Black) and her husband Samuel. When she returned home to England in 1900, Miss Gobelin met Sir Hugh Black, Margaret’s brother. Allegedly the two had a brief affair with each other, but within weeks, Patricia met and married her first husband, James Scarlet. Eight months after marrying each other, Patricia gave birth to her only child, Josephine Scarlet. Sadly, the marriage ended when James died in 1903, after stumbling down the stairs of their Cambridge home.

Patricia would marry two more times after James’ death. First to Ernest Zaffer, an older, yet wealthy man she met in Italy in 1910. Ernest would die the next year, when he fell off the balcony of his hotel room. In 1915, Patricia married her third and last husband, Sir Matthew Peacock, a prominent barrister, whom she met the year prior. Again misfortune followed, as Sir Matthew was drowned while waterboarding with some friends in the Lake District in 1917.

With each of her husband’s deaths, Patricia received a sizable fortune which funded her lavish lifestyle. But it has been rumoured that even though she keeps up appearances, her spendthrift ways have nearly exhausted her once-sizable estate.
