Sir Pitt
Pitt Crawley is the son of Sir Pitt and the brother of Rawdon. He has the favor of their father but struggles to win the favor of Miss Crawley, who holds the real family wealth. Eventually, however, he manages to inherit both his father’s title and Miss Crawley’s wealth for his son, Pitt Binkie, in part because he marries the noble Lady Jane while Rawdon marries the low-status governess Becky. Pitt Crawley spends exorbitant amounts of money trying to renovate his father’s property, demonstrating how he sees himself in charge of protecting his family’s reputation, no matter the cost.
