Countess of Sandwich.

Married 8 July 1689

~
Samuel Pepys description: 'My Lady Hinchingbroke I cannot say is a beauty, nor ugly; but is altogether a comely lady enough, and seems very good-humoured, and I mighty glad of the occasion of seeing her before to-morrow.'



Her husband became insane and was finally confined. After his death, she removed permanently to Paris in 1729. She was a popular figure in the French salons. She had absconded with the Montague fortune and used it to support the cause of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Her grandson, who succeeded to the title as the Forth Earl, was left without cash and was forced to apply for a range of stipends in order to support himself.
