Edgar was one of the Earl of Gloucester's sons in Shakespeare's 'King Lear'.
Edgar = 'rage' (fashion) with 'd' (daughter) inside and reversed (flipped)

Daughter = D
Fashoun = RAGE flipped >> EGAR
D in EGAR = EDGAR _an Earl's son

Thank you. I thought it would be some famous Earl... but I was on the bus and Shakespeare isn't my strongest subject!

and of course a typo above ' fashoun' should be 'fashion'
