520			_aAlmina was the illegitimate daughter of banking tycoon Alfred de Rothschild. She was his only daughter and he doted on her. At 19, with an enormous dowry, Almina married the 5th Earl of Carnarvon. Life at Highclere Castle was a dizzying mix of sumptuous banquets for 500 and even the occasional royal visitor. Almina oversaw 80 members of staff - many of whom came from families who had worked at Highclere for generations. But when the First World War broke out, life at Highclere, both upstairs and downstairs, changed forever. Almina and the staff were thrown into one of the most turbulent times of the last century. Almina was forced to draw on her deepest reserves of courage in order to ensure her family, the staff and the castle survived. This is the remarkable story of a lost time.
