Wish I knew where his old house site was.... Daniel Lambert (13 March 1770 – 21 June 1809)

was a gaol keeper and animal breeder from Leicester, England, famous for his unusually large size. After serving four years as an apprentice at an engraving and die casting works in Birmingham, he returned to Leicester around 1788 and succeeded his father as keeper of Leicester's gaol. He was a keen sportsman and extremely strong, on one occasion he fought a bear in the streets of Leicester. He was an expert in sporting animals, widely respected for his expertise with dogs, horses and fighting cocks.

such a short life span.

such a short life span.

For the time period and his size, probably not that short..

 

[mical66]

for his size it would not be that short now,, was over 700 pounds when he died .

I'm guessing that was pretty average for the time period regardless of his size.

You'd have to think to be that big back then the guy had a medical problem because I don't think too many people were lazy just sitting in front of the tv.
