When the French Revolution broke out, Burney’s cosmopolitan sensibility brought her into contact with a circle of French exiles and she subsequently married General Alexandre d’Arblay, a hero of the uprising, in 1793.

Located on D’Arblay Street, Soho, in the centre of London, it was conceived as a gay version of the mod venue the Scene – a club for dancing.

The fame of Madame D’Arblay belongs more correctly to Mickleham.

He was extremely popular at court, and in 1783, on the death of Archbishop Cornwallis, the king pressed him to accept the primacy, but Hurd, who was known, says Madame d’Arblay, as “The Beauty of Holiness,” declined it as a charge not suited to his temper and talents, and much too heavy for him to sustain.

On the 31st of July 1793 she married one of the exiles, Alexandre D’Arblay, an artillery officer, who had been adjutant-general to La Fayette.
