Julian Osgood Field (1852–1925) was an American socialite and writer.
Educated in England, he lived largely in London and Paris and became an intimate of the future King Edward VII of Great Britain.
Despite his background, Field was a crook, moneylender's tout, and undischarged bankrupt, pursued by many creditors.
[1] In 1901 he was sentenced to three months in prison for forging a document under the signature of a representative of Lord Astor's estate office which claimed he was to be paid a large sum of money for authoring society novels.
In 1914, Lady Ida successfully sued Field for fraud and breach of duty.
