User:StAnselm/Gerald Christian Wimsey, 16th Duke of Denver

Gerald Christian Wimsey, 16th Duke of Denver, was the elder brother of Lord Peter Wimsey. He appeared most notably as the chief murder suspect in the novel Clouds of Witness, where he was tried in the House of Lords but eventually acquitted through his brother's efforts.

According to the novel The Attenbury Emeralds, he died in 1951 from a heart attack during a fire at Duke's Denver. As his son, Viscount St George (a fighter pilot), did not survive the Second World War, his brother Peter inherits the title.
