Louis de Soissons

This article printed in the Twentieth Century Society's Journal in 2019 was the fruit of intensive research into the Chief Architect and Planner of Welwyn Garden City. I uncovered the long-term deception carried out by his father and mother who claimed to be the Count and Countess de Soissons when both were actually Polish.  Louis and his siblings benefitted by apparently being of noble birth, and undoubtedly it helped him in his stellar career.  In the end truth did out.
