Susan Montagu, Duchess of Manchester (2 February 1774 – 26 August 1828), formerly Lady Susan Gordon, was the wife of William Montagu, 5th Duke of Manchester. Lady Susan was born at Gordon Castle,[1] the third daughter of Alexander Gordon, 4th Duke of Gordon, and his first wife, the former Jane Maxwell; Jane was noted for having succeeded in making advantageous marriages for all her children.[2] It was said that she went to view the Duke of Manchester's house before meeting him.[3] Susan married the duke in Edinburgh on 7 October 1793. They had eight children:[4]
The couple were estranged by 1808, when the duke became governor of Jamaica, and his wife remained in Britain.[6] The duke was notoriously unfaithful,[7] but it was the duchess who became the subject of a scandal when she left him for a footman. They separated and she was given a settlement.[8] An exile from polite society, the duchess died at Bedfont Lodge in Middlesex, in August 1828, at the age of 54. She was buried at Kimbolton.[9] References1. ^Mosley, Charles, editor. Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage, 107th edition, 3 volumes.
