| 释义 |
Elizabeth Sackville, Duchess of Dorset (died 12 June 1768), formerly Elizabeth Colyear, was a British court official and noble, the wife of Lionel Sackville, 1st Duke of Dorset. She was the daughter of Lieutenant-General Walter Colyear (who was a brother of the Earl of Portmore). In 1703, at the age of fourteen, Elizabeth came to court as a Maid of honour to Queen Anne, a position she inherited from her aunt Catherine Sedley, Countess of Dorchester.[1] They were married in January 1709, but the marriage was not made public until the duchess became pregnant.[1] The couple had five children in all:
Between 1714 and 1737 She was a Lady of the Bedchamber[2] and to Caroline of Ansbach, wife of King George II of the United Kingdom. From 1723 to 1731 she was Caroline's Mistress of the Robes, a title that can be held by no one of lower rank than a duchess.[3] The arrangements for Caroline's appearance at her coronation in 1727 were, however, made by an experienced subordinate.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.bl.uk/eblj/1993articles/pdf/article13.pdf|title=The Honourable Sisterhood: Queen Anne's Maids of Honour|author=Frances Harris|publisher=British Library Journal|access-date=18 December 2017}} {{S-start}}{{s-court}}{{succession box|title=Mistress of the Robes to 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.history.ac.uk/office/caroline.html |title=Household of Princess Caroline 1714-27 |website=Institute of Historical Research}} 3. ^George Cokayne et al., The Complete Peerage, volume XII/2, p.589 4. ^{{cite book|title=The Book of the Court: Exhibiting the History, Duties, and Privileges of the Several Ranks of the English Nobility and Gentry, Particularly of the Great Officers of State, and Members of the Royal Household...|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eiNYAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA346|year=1844|publisher=H.
