The lead section says "Lord Beauchamp is generally supposed to have been the model for Lord Marchmain in Evelyn Waugh's novel, Brideshead Revisited." But almost none of the facts about Lord Beauchamp in this article apply to Lord Marchmain. There's obviously some connection between the Lygon family and the fictional Flyte faimily, but as stated this is surely not correct and needs qualification. --rossb (talk) 06:30, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ross Burgess - Sorry for the very belated reply. Given that Lord Beauchamp was a real person and Lord Marchmain is a fictional character, I don't think Waugh was under an obligation to make the latter a carbon copy of the former. But he knew the Lygons very well and multiple RS suggest Lord B was the main inspiration for Lord M. I'll add some more in when I can find the books. KJP1 (talk) 11:40, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The guy had seven kids, which seems to prove that he had regular relations with his wife over many years, doesn't that make him "bisexual" rather than "homosexual?" - R.M. Schultz (talk) 12:04, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Homosexual men are completely capable of fathering children. Doesn't mean he had to be attracted to his wife to do what society imposed — Marry and have children. Bisexuality would imply Lygon was attracted romantically and sexually to both men and women. And that's not the case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.43.179.143 (talk) 02:01, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
