Brereton had a close personal relationship with Queen Anne, to the extent that she may have named one of her lap dogs after him.

A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility.
