The series The Buccaneers, about 5 feisty American heiresses husband hunting amongst the castle rich but cash poor English nobility, is based on Edith Wharton’s novel of the same name. Which in turn is based on the author’s real youth amongst the American Dollar Princesses of the Gilded Age. She based the characters Nan, Jinny, Conchita, Mabel and Lizzy on women she grew up with. The daughters of American robber barons, they were rejected by New York’s old-money high-society. So they boldly set out across the Atlantic, intent on bagging British Dukes and Earls. Then sailed home to rub Mrs. Astor’s nose in their booty of coronets bought with cold hard American cash. Let’s meet 5 real women from history who inspired the Buccaneers, and author Edith Wharton, who knew them all. Plus we’ll find out where this series lands in the time line of other popular romantic historic dramas, and how it’s connected to Bridgerton, The Gilded age and Downton Abbey.
