Maundy Gregory

Arthur John Maundy Gregory,[1][2][3] who later used the name Arthur John Peter Michael Maundy Gregory[4][5] (1 July 1877 – 28 September 1941) was a British theatre producer and political fixer who is best remembered for selling honours for Prime Minister David Lloyd George.[6] He may also have been involved with the Zinoviev Letter, the disappearance of Victor Grayson, and the suspicious death of his platonic companion, Edith Rosse. Gregory claimed to be a spy for British intelligence.
