The book delves into the rich history of Brighthelmstone (now Brighton), recounting significant events and figures connected to the town, including notable social changes and royal associations. It explores the evolution of Brighthelmstone from its early days as a modest coastal settlement to a fashionable resort destination, underpinned by the antics of the Prince of Wales and various historical contexts. The opening of the text introduces the early history of Brighthelmstone, referencing its mention in the Domesday Book and discussing its timeline through various significant events like the impacts of the Spanish Armada and French invasions. The narrative reflects on the town's development over the centuries, its defensive measures, and the significance of its fishing industry. A foretelling of the cultural and social transformations is hinted, setting the stage for deeper explorations of the town's transformation into a hub of socialite activity in subsequent chapters.
