Which governor-general was an ear-fetishist and cross-dresser (even at his wife's funeral) and which famous area of London was named after him?

This has got to be Edward Hyde, Lord Cornbury, 3rd Earl of Clarendon (1661-1723). He was governor of New York and New Jersey in the very early 18th century, was accused of being a crossdresser, and is said to have delivered a "panegyric" on his wife's ears. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=Edward+Hyde%2C+3rd+Earl+of+Clarendon&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1 Jun 07 05, 9:05 PM

Yay Fransy/Peakie! And for completeness I'll add that the area of London was, of course, Hyde Park. Jun 08 05, 12:41 AM
