context_page_description: Anne Scott, 1st Duchess of Buccleuch was a wealthy Scottish peeress. After her father died when she was a few months old, and her sisters by the time she was 10, she inherited the family's titles. She was married to James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, and the couple had six children, only two of whom survived past infancy.
  Her husband was executed after losing the Monmouth Rebellion, and she went on to marry again.
context_section_description: On 20 April 1663, the twelve-year-old Anne married the fourteen-year-old James Crofts, 1st Duke of Monmouth, the oldest illegitimate son of Charles II (eldest surviving son of Charles I), by his mistress, Lucy Walter. James had been born in Rotterdam during the Second English Civil War, where his father was with his sister, Mary and his brother-in-law William II, Prince of Orange. The couple had six children:
  Charles Scott, Earl of Doncaster (1672–1674), who died in infancy.
  James Scott, Earl of Dalkeith (1674–1705), who married Lady Henrietta Hyde, daughter of Laurence Hyde, 1st Earl of Rochester.
  Lady Anne Scott (1675–1685), who died in childhood.
  Henry Scott, 1st Earl of Deloraine (1676–1730), who married Anne Duncombe, the daughter of William Duncombe. After her death in 1720, he married Mary, the granddaughter of Col. Philip Howard.
  Lord Francis Scott (1678–1679), who died young.
  Lady Charlotte Scott (1683–1683), who died in infancy.
  Her husband, the Duke of Monmouth and Buccleuch, was attained and executed for high treason on 15 July 1685 following the failure of Monmouth's Rebellion, in which he had attempted to seize the English throne and overthrow James II (the younger brother of his father, who became King of England, Scotland, and Ireland in February 1685 following the death of Charles II). 
  On 6 May 1688, Anne married Charles Cornwallis, 3rd Baron Cornwallis, with whom she later had three children:
  Lady Anne Scott (d. 1690), who died young.
  Lord George Scott (1692–1693), who died young.
  Lady Isabella Scott (d. 1747/8).
  Anne died in 1732, aged 80; her titles passed to her grandson Francis, the son of James, Earl of Dalkeith.
