Belvedere Haus / Belvedere House

Jealous Wall

(2022-07-03)

Robert Rochfort war stets von Eifersucht und Mißgunst erfüllt. Seiner Frau Mary unterstellte er eine Affäre mit seinem Bruder Arthur, was den Bruder ins Gefängnis brachte. Mary wurde von Robert in ihrem Haus in Gaulstown eingesperrt, beide kamen erst nach dem Tod von Robert frei - 18 Jahre später.

Und mit seinem anderen Bruder George geriet Robert in Streit, als dieser in der Nähe von Belvedere ebenfalls ein Haus errichten ließ. Um dieses Haus nicht sehen zu müßen, ließ Robert eine Scheinruine (die "Eifersuchtswand" - "Jealous Wall") errichten, die den Blick verdeckte.

Robert Rochfort was constantly filled with jealousness and envy. He accused his wife Mary to have an affair with his brother Arthur that led to the incarceration of his brother. Mary was locked up by Robert in their house in Gaulstown, both were only released after Robert's death - 18 years later.

And Robert started a quarrel with his other brother George, when George had built a house close to Belvedere. So that he did not have to look at this house, Robert let build a fake ruin, called "Jealous Wall", that blocked the view.
