British aristocrat in Levant

Lady Hester Stanhope (1776–1839) was a British aristocrat and adventurer who settled in the Levant in 1810. Niece of Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger, she established herself in the Druze village of Joun in Mount Lebanon, where she lived as a self-styled queen, involving herself in local politics and archaeology. Her eccentric life in the Ottoman Levant made her a legendary figure in 19th-century travel literature.
