John Conroy
FameRank: 4

"Sir John Ponsonby Conroy, 1st Baronet" Royal Guelphic Order/KH was a British army officer who served as comptroller to the Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld/Duchess of Kent and her young daughter, Queen Victoria/Princess Victoria, the future Queen of the United Kingdom.

Conroy was born in Wales to Irish people/Irish parents and, after holding several ranks in the military, became the equerry of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn in 1817. Kent died two years later, leaving a widow and infant daughter. Becoming comptroller of the Duchess of Kent's household for the next nineteen years, Conroy also acted as her confidant and political agent, among other roles. Together, they designed the Kensington System, an elaborate and strict system of rules for the upbringing of young Victoria, designed to render her weak-willed and utterly dependent upon them in the hopes of allowing them to wield power through her.

This is not an indictment we're going to run from.

We have $51 million in general obligation bonds outstanding. To have liens placed against any assets would stand in the way of those and future obligations.
