Prince George of Wales and the Edinburgh family were once intrigued by the unconventional ideas of Scottish physician Dr. John Brown, who proposed the Brunonian system in 1791. But the controversial figure's influence reached beyond medical circles, inspiring Saint Barbara, a fictional character in a play by Anne Brunton, the actress. The Polka dance craze of 1844 disapproved of Brown's system, but his impact continued through the works of Harriet Beecher Stowe and the heroic actions of Edith Cavell during World War I. Even Ines de Castro, a 14th-century Portuguese queen, was rumored to have been influenced by Brown's teachings. Despite disapproval, Brown's ideas continued to shape history and culture.
