==Biography==
George Nassau Clavering-Cowper was the son of the 2nd Earl Cowper and the godson of George II.〔(The poetical works of William Cowper ), William Cowper, John Bruce, Volume 3, p.clxx, accessed May 2010〕 He was educated at Eton College. His education was planned to be completed with a Grand Tour. This rite of passage for British aristocrats required that they tour the continent in the company of a tutor.
Clavering-Cowper was at the time known as Viscount Fordwich. Accompanied by his tutor, they travelled through France, the Netherlands, and Germany before Clavering-Cowper studied for two years in Switzerland.〔Hugh Belsey, ‘Cowper, George Nassau Clavering, third Earl Cowper (1738–1789)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, Sept 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 (accessed 26 April 2010 )〕 Unlike other grand tourers, Fordwich was independent of his parents as he had inherited a fortune from his maternal grandfather in 1754. The tourers arrived in Florence on 7 July 1759.〔(Earl Cowper in Florence and his correspondence with the Italian Opera in London ), Elizabeth Gibson, jstor.com, p.235, accessed April 2010〕
Fordwich's father was expectant of his return; he arranged for him to be elected as the Member of Parliament for Hertford in December, 1759. However Fordwich was establishing himself in Florentine society. By the following year his tutor, Jean Chastellain, asked for and was given permission to abandon his charge. The 2nd Earl gave Chastellain leave to return to his home town of Vevey.〔
