Downton Abbey II : Une nouvelle ère (2023)

FAQs

Is Thomas really Lord Grantham's son? ›

Cora decides who's inheriting – and it's not Lady Mary's son

She knows that Thomas is the illegitimate son of O'Brien and Lord Grantham – and the rightful heir to the house. She knows it will kill her husband to see an illegitimate child inherit Downton Abbey and she has waited a long time for this moment.

Two of the film's biggest dramatic turns end up being fake-outs. Cora believes she has cancer but learns by the end of the film that she is just sick with anemia.

But, in reality, actor Matthew Goode's schedule did not allow for him to appear in the second Downton film. He was working on his new show The Offer and could not fit in a cameo for Downton.

For both, Downton Abbey and the Crawley family took precedence. Other than the loss of the beloved Lady Grantham, Downton Abbey's second film ends largely on a happy note. Cora is diagnosed with pernicious anemia, a treatable disease.

Cora never suspects O'Brien's treachery, and somehow the lady's maid lasts a few more seasons.

Robert Crawley, 7th Earl of Grantham (b. July 1865) is the patriarch of the Crawley family and the co-owner of Downton Abbey (along with his eldest daughter). He is the son of the 6th Earl of Grantham and Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, and the brother of Lady Rosamund Painswick.

After one of Thomas Barrow's bullying actions towards her nephew Alfred Nugent, O'Brien decides to get revenge.

- Feeling ignored by Cora (who was busy running their house-turned-makeshift hospital) and useless during the war, Lord Grantham almost starts an affair with a maid. - He tries to pay off his son-in-law, Tom Branson, because he is of a lower class. He later owes much of his renewed success to said son-in-law.

After Cora undergoes testing, they discover that she is suffering from a form of anemia. Her illness, while painful, is not fatal if treated. Robert is relieved, and learns that both his marriage and heritage are intact. Violet informs him that he is the legitimate child of Patrick Crawley, the Sixth Earl of Grantham.

So mary did lose you virginity to Pamuk and she was supposed to use the vial of blood on her wedding night so that she could still pretend to be a virgin for her husband.

Who marries Lady Edith? ›

After six seasons of troubles, Lady Edith finally finds happiness. In the last episode of the series, the middle Crawley daughter marries Bertie Pelham to become the Marchioness of Hexham, a position which outranks everyone else in her family. But her story almost didn't end on such a high note.

For those of you who may have been living under a rock, here's the gist: Matthew is a distant cousin and unlikely heir to Downton and Mary is the daughter of Earl of Grantham. They have been madly in love since they met, but they didn't know it at first.

Does Cora know Lord Grantham cheated? Her Husband Almost Had An Affair Unknown To Her The whole thing happened behind Cora's back which was heartbreaking indeed. Cora was never shown to have found out about the almost-affair, though given how sharp she was, she might have had an inkling.

But by the film's end, Dexter makes an offer that would allow Thomas to live his life without fear or shame — to move with the massive star to Hollywood, where he will publicly serve as his dresser, but can privately be more — as he describes it to the always-understanding Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery).

Most of Mary's melodrama took place early on in the season, so the finale showed her as a contented wife. She had her happy ending as well, of course, announcing her first pregnancy with new husband Henry Talbot.

Despite the film focusing on the fact that Lord Grantham thinks his entire childhood has been based on a lie, it turns out that his father is in fact Patrick Crawley. While on her death bed, Violet confirms to Robert that he is indeed the legitimate son of herself and the previous Lord Grantham, leaving him relieved.

Lady Edith Crawley is the second daughter to Lord and Lady Grantham, born in 1892. During the first series Edith is often said to be the "forgotten" one. This is because she was seen not to be as pretty and smooth-talking as her older sister Mary and less daring and passionate than Sybil, the youngest.
