As the youngest son of Lord Llangattock, Charles Stuart Rolls was a motoring
enthusiast. Born in 1877, Charles Rolls became a pioneer motorist, racing
driver, and automobile trader for the well-to-do. Charles Rolls joined forces
with Henry Royce in 1904. This duo worked together to make "The Best
Car in the World" for only six years. In 1910, Charles Rolls perished
in an aviation accident, though he was an accomplished aviator, being the
first man to fly the English Cannel both ways.
