Sugar King was born in 1928 on the estate of a British aristocrat. At 17 he came to Paris with his family, where he studied in the great-grandstanding French literary house La Familia, then housed in a villa in Marseille.

He married his future wife of eight years, a young American girl who is now 25. The two now live happily in the Paris suburb of Pompidou, with sugar-coated blue windows and a well-appointed bar.

The couple had four sons, but that was because he had come to Paris - and became friends with their father - who had been killed in a raid on the house in 1940 with the aim to secure his freedom.

In fact, he had been kidnapped and the other two died as a result of the raid, but the family moved to the French cities of Marseille and Montpellier in 1947.

Pioneer politician and former president Jean-Baptiste Drouin and his wife, Princess Marie-Antoinette, left marriage three years before Sugar King left for Paris.

In 1932 he died in hospital, aged 92.
