He lost his £12 million fortune and 100-bed stately pile - the 4,500-acre Savernake Estate in Wiltshire - after a row with trustees. Speaking outside Swindon crown court on Thursday he said he had not been able to afford to insure the car. Following an application from prosecutor Jonathan Ransen, the bench ordered that Brudenell-Bruce, who still lives on the family estate, pay £330 in costs. The Savernake Estate, which includes a stately home and Britain's only privately-owned forest, had been in the earl's family for almost 1,000 years.
