About Hugh Lygon
Hugh Patrick Lygon was the second son of William Lygon, 7th Earl Beauchamp, and, though often believed to be the inspiration for Lord Sebastian Flyte in Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited, Waugh told the Lygon family that this was not the case. Lygon was a close friend of Waugh while at Oxford; A. L. Rowse believed the two to be lovers. Along with their contemporaries Robert Byron, Murray Andrew McLean, and the Plunket Greene brothers, Richard and David, they were both members of the Hypocrites' Club, of which Lygon was also president. David Plunket Greene was a good friend of Hugh Lygon.
