He qualified as a barrister and was called to the bar by the Inner Temple in 1881.
He supplemented his meagre income by writing short stories for the Cornhill Magazine.
The editor's suggestion that he try his hand at writing novels proved a turning point in Weyman's career. International bestsellers such as A Gentleman of France, The Man in Black and Under the Red Robe earned him immense popularity and a substantial fortune.
For the last thirty years of his life he lived in Denbighshire, where he was also chairman of the Magistrate's Bench.
He died in 1928.view less
