Aristocrats tells the story of the Lennox sisters, the royal daughters of Duke Charles Lennox. Growing up privileged was par for the course for these lovely ladies, until they became of age to fall in love. It was at this point the Lennox family began to fall apart at the seams, as each daughter chased various lovers, causing royalty and politics to intermix, and leading to family disruption, bitter jealousies, and even estrangement. Told in a magnificent six-part series, each episode chronicles the troubling commotions within a family that was itself a royal empire, set against some of history’s most defining moments. Sarah has born an illegitimate child and eloped with the father. In shame, she has returned to the family and Louisa takes it upon herself to dictate the terms of her atonement. In Ireland, Emily is increasingly lured to an idyllic life away from Dublin in the happy company of her children, notably her favorite, little Edward Fitzgerald.
