Sir Polydore de Keyser: A Remarkable Lord Mayor of London from Belgian Origins This portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Sir Polydore de Keyser (1832-1898), an extraordinary individual who defied the odds and became the first Roman Catholic since the Reformation to be elected as Lord Mayor of London. Born in Dendermonde, near Ghent, in the Belgian kingdom, de Keyser embarked on a successful legal career in England. His election as Lord Mayor in October 1887 was a groundbreaking moment in London's history, symbolizing the city's growing religious and cultural diversity. The son of a Belgian father and an English mother, de Keyser's multicultural background was a testament to the cosmopolitan nature of Victorian London. His appointment as Lord Mayor came at a time when religious tensions were still simmering beneath the surface, making his election all the more significant. De Keyser's tenure as Lord Mayor was marked by his dedication to improving the living conditions of the city's working class and his commitment to promoting peace and reconciliation between different religious communities. Despite his impressive achievements, de Keyser's past as a spy for the Belgian government during the Revolution of 1848 was a closely guarded secret. His clandestine activities added an intriguing layer to his already fascinating biography, making him a subject of great interest to historians and biographers. This portrait, taken between 1840 and 1905, captures the essence of a man who defied expectations and left an indelible mark on London's history. Sir Polydore de Keyser's story is a testament to the power of perseverance, resilience, and the ability to overcome adversity. His legacy as a trailblazing Lord Mayor continues to inspire generations, reminding us of the importance of embracing diversity and breaking down barriers in our communities.
