Lord Fleetwood

Charles Fleetwood, Lord Fleetwood, is Robert Beaumaris's friend and a London suitor of Arabella Tallant. He spreads the rumour of Arabella's supposed wealth openly in London at the encouragement of Beaumaris, which leads to many of Arabella's future problems. His family is impoverished, and he must marry money.

His exact title is unknown. From the way he is addressed he might be a marquess, an earl, a viscount, or a baron.
