Lady Dorothy Sidney (or Sydney) was celebrated not only for her beauty but for wit, charm and intelligence.
In about 1635, she rejected a marriage proposal from the poet Edmund Waller, who addressed verses to her under the nickname "Sacharissa" (which he based on the Latin word "sacharum", meaning "sugar").

While her son and daughter-in-law could see no fault in their eldest son Robert, Lord Spencer, Dorothy wrote dryly of her grandson: "He has no good nature or humour, is scornful and pretending… comes to me seldom, seems weary in a minute, talks of my company [guests] as though I picked them up in the streets…".
Her death has been attributed to grief caused by her brother Algernon's trial and execution for treason in December 1683.
Her grave is in Everdon, Northamptonshire.
