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. Emily’s son Edward has returned from Revolutionary France, where he has been affected by the momentous changes he has witnessed. Heedless of the warnings of his family, he begins to plot a violent rebellion to overthrow the Irish monarchist regime, with devastating consequences for himself and for the lives of the three remaining sisters, Emily, Louisa and Sarah.
