Alfred Fouquereaux de Marigny (1910-1998)

Born and educated in Mauritius, he was an unsavoury figure who preferred to use his mother's name "de Marigny" and asked people to style him as a "Count," which he was most certainly not. His autobiographies are to be taken with more than a healthy pinch of salt. According to Charlotte Gray's book Murdered Midas - concerning the murder of his third father-in-law, Sir Harry Oakes, for which Marigny was tried and acquitted in 1939 - he bore a Don Juan reputation in the Bahamas, naming his yacht Concubine and having a reputation for drugging young women before assaulting them. Even the Duke of Windsor described him as, "an unscrupulous adventurer [with] an evil reputation for immoral conduct with young girls." He was married four times (his first two marriages took place in the same year) to four very wealthy women. After his trial, he was deemed an "undesirable alien" and his unpopularity saw him deported. He lived in Quebec for three years but was again deported. He then spent various amounts of time in the U.S., Jamaica, Haiti, and the States again before finally moving to Central America. He died in Houston, Texas, and was survived by three sons by his last marriage.
