Mary Villiers, Duchess of Lennox and Richmond (1622 – 1685),Charles Villiers, Earl of Coventry (27 Nov 1625 – 26 March 1627), George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham (1628 – 1687), and Lord Francis Villiers (1629 – 48). Katherine miscarried shortly after her second marriage, but did not have any further children.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12172578519649321204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-56096433066559966012014-09-29T22:25:36.122-07:002014-09-29T22:25:36.122-07:00Thank you for your comments.

Mary had been known as Dame Compton, but was created Countess of Buckingham suo jure in 1618, as a token of favour to Buckingham and herself by James I- her husband was pointedly not given a title. When Katherine Manners married Buckingham in 1620 she became the Marchioness of Buckingham, and when he was created Duke in 1623 her title became Duchess of Buckingham. Hope that helps!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12172578519649321204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-27701292159726482452014-09-29T20:10:14.481-07:002014-09-29T20:10:14.481-07:00I'm unfamiliar how titles are/were applied, so...I'm unfamiliar how titles are/were applied, so I was surprised to see that Buckingham's mother was addressed as Mary Beaumont, Countess of Buckingham. I'm guessing that by 1619 she was married to Compton ... did she ignore his last name? And when Katherine Manners and George were married, did Mary become the Dowager Countess? Perhaps Mary stayed the Countess, and Katherine was the Duchess? Downton Abbey didn't prepare me for this ...Sally Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11287628255330281037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-68791299643082356292014-09-29T10:16:39.734-07:002014-09-29T10:16:39.734-07:00Thank you so much.Thank you so much.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12172578519649321204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-68500794111460229502014-09-29T07:26:03.544-07:002014-09-29T07:26:03.544-07:00I was on the edge of my seat just from the post......I was on the edge of my seat just from the post...thank you !
