Add in a rich and powerful family, and the plot thickens. Mix in some military, spies and treason, and well, it sounds like the makings of a great reality show. But this 'show' was reality. Benedict Arnold was a General during the Revolutionary War. Peggy Shippen was born into one of the most prominent families in Philadelphia. She was destined for a life of wealth and prominence, until fate intervened and on April 8, 1779, the 37-year-old Arnold married then 19-year-old Peggy. His name is forever synonymous with the word traitor, but what were the circumstances around Arnold's betrayal? And what role did Peggy play?
