Maria Ponsonby, Viscountess Duncannon
Maria Ponsonby, Viscountess Duncannon( 11 May 1787 – 19 March 1834), formerly Lady Maria Fane, was the wife of John Ponsonby, 4th Earl of Bessborough.
She died before he inherited the earldom and thus was never Countess of Bessborough, but three of her sons were successively earls of Bessborough.
She was the daughter of John Fane, 10th Earl of Westmorland, and his first wife, the former Sarah Anne Child.
Her brother was John Fane, 11th Earl of Westmorland, and her sisters were Sarah Villiers, Countess of Jersey( 1785 – 1867), Lady Augusta Fane( 1786–1871; later Lady Boringdon) and Lady Charlotte Fane( 1793 – 1822).
She married Ponsonby on 16 November 1805 at Berkeley Square, London, when he was known as Viscount Duncannon.
They had eight sons and six daughters.
Through her daughter Lady Augusta Gore, Viscountess Duncannon was the grandmother of sportsman Spencer Gore, who won the first Wimbledon singles title in 1877, and the Rt. Rev. Charles Gore, the Bishop of Oxford.
Their children were:
The viscountess died in 1834, aged 46, at her home in Cavendish Square, London.
Her husband survived her by thirteen years and died in May 1847, aged 65.
He was succeeded in the earldom by their eldest son, John, and subsequently by their younger sons Frederick and Walter.
Joan II, Countess of Burgundy
Joan II, Countess of Burgundy( 15 January 1292 – 21 January 1330), was Queen of France by marriage to Philip V of France, and ruling Countess of Burgundy and Countess of Artois.
She was the eldest daughter and heiress of Otto IV, Count of Burgundy, and Mahaut, Countess of Artois.
Sarah Villiers, Countess of Jersey
Sarah Sophia Child Villiers, Countess of Jersey (4 March 1785 – 26 January 1867), born Lady Sarah Fane, was an English noblewoman, and through her marriage a member of the Villiers family.
She was the eldest daughter of John Fane, 10th Earl of Westmorland, and Sarah Anne Child.
Her mother was the only child of Robert Child, the principal shareholder in the banking firm Child &
Co. Under the terms of his will, the Countess of Jersey was the primary legatee, and she not only inherited Osterley Park but became senior partner of the bank.
Her husband, George Villiers, added the surname Child by royal licence.
The inheritance made her one of the richest women in England: in 1805 she was able to give £20000 each to four family members without impairing her own income.
Lady Jersey married George Child Villiers, 5th Earl of Jersey, on 23 May 1804, in the drawing room of her house in Berkeley Square.
Her husband's mother, Frances Villiers, Countess of Jersey (also Lady Jersey), was one of the more notorious mistresses of King George IV when he was Prince of Wales.
Her sister Maria married John Ponsonby, Viscount Duncannon, later the 4th Earl of Bessborough, a brother of Lady Caroline Lamb.
Her own affairs, though conducted discreetly, were said to be numerous:
Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston, was thought to be one of her lovers.
When asked why he had never fought a duel to preserve his wife's reputation, Lord Jersey drily replied that this would require him to fight every man in London.
Lady Jersey was one of the patronesses of Almack's, the most exclusive social club in London, and a leader of the "ton" during the Regency era.
She was immortalized as Zenobia in Disraeli's novel "Endymion".
Caroline Lamb ridiculed her in "Glenarvon"; in revenge Lady Jersey had her barred from Almack's, the ultimate social disgrace.
This, however, was unusual since she was notable for acts of kindness and generosity; and she was eventually persuaded to remove the ban.
In politics she was a Tory, although she lacked the passionate interest in politics shown by her cousin Harriet Arbuthnot.
On hearing that the Duke of Wellington had fallen from power in 1830, she burst into tears in public.
She reportedly "moved heaven and earth" against the Reform Act 1832.
Lady Jersey was known by the nickname Silence; the nickname was ironic since, famously, she almost never stopped talking.
The memoirist Captain Gronow, who disliked her, called her "a theatrical tragedy queen", and considered her "ill-bred and inconceivably rude".
She is a recurring character in the Regency novels of Georgette Heyer, where she is presented as eccentric and unpredictable, but highly intelligent and observant, and capable of kindness and generosity.
She died at No. 38, Berkeley Square, Middlesex (now London).
