Daniel Lambert(13 March1770–21 June1809) was a gaolkeeperand animal breeder from Leicester, England, famous for his unusually large size...He was a keen sportsman and extremely strong, on one occasion he fought a bear in the streets of Leicester. He was an expert in sporting animals, widely respected for his expertise with dogs, horses and fighting cocks...In 1806, poverty forced Lambert to put himself on exhibition to raise money. InApril 1806, he took up residence in London, charging spectators to enter his apartments to meet him. Visitors were impressed by his intelligence and personality, and visiting him became highly fashionable. After some months on public display, Lambert grew tired of exhibiting himself, and inSeptember 1806, he returned, wealthy, to Leicester, where he bred sporting dogs and regularly attended sporting events. Between 1806 and 1809, he made a further series of short fundraising tours...In June 1809, he died suddenly in Stamford. At the time of his death, he weighed 52stone 11lb (739lb; 335kg), and his coffin required 112 square feetof wood. Despite the coffin being built with wheels to allow easy transport, and a sloping approach being dug to the grave, it took 20 men almost half an hour to drag his casket into the trench...
