Parents, sprinkled to Georgian and her sister with his brother in love and a happy marriage, they were rather faithful husband and wife, and no records of treason on both sides were preserved, although for that time, among the nobles, it was quite rare to change each other. Meanwhile, Georgian is growing very close to his mother. The marriage and children of Georgian with his brother and sister, Henrietta and George, the brushes of Angeliki Kaufman, year.

By the way, the picture was painted shortly before Georgian's wedding at the Duke of Devonshire. On her seventeen-year-old, on June 7, Lady Giorgian Spencer got married to a very noble gentleman-on William Kavendish, the 5th Duke of Devonshire, he was 25 years old at the time of marriage, they were married in the Wimbledon Church.

The wedding ceremony was not very large, only relatives of the girl were present at the ceremony. Georgian's parents are very reluctant, and with great sadness let their little Ji let go, but in the end, they married her to one of the richest, most noble and influential person in all of England. Her father, who constantly showed his children his affection and love later writes to his daughter: “My favorite Georgian, I just want to tell you how much I love you, I miss you more and more, every day and hour.

First, the wedding, the Duke of Devonshire, showed himself as a very emotionally restrained person, well, the exact opposite of her father, who, so to speak, did not meet the emotional needs of the Duchess. The spouses, in fact, also had little in common. He does not find it necessary, at least at least make his wife even the smallest attention, and at night he always plays cards at Brook.

The spouse behaves very badly in relation to his wife, and there will be such a whole life, but still the duke began to behave less defiant and a little more restrained after Georgian has made a male heir, but so far not about him. Even before their wedding, John had an illegally born girl, Charlotte Williams, who became the result of the duke's relationship with the former modist, Charlotte Spencer has nothing to do with Spencer.

This secret of the Duke remained secret in the first years of their joint lives with Georgianna. After the mother of this child died, she was forced to raise Charlotte. The Duchess Devonshire was “very happy” when she understood with Charlotte, even despite the fact that she is not her mother, now Countess Spencer Mother of our heroine, expressed her disapproval, writing the following: “I hope you didn’t tell anyone about her.” To which the duchess replied: "She is the best humorous creating that you have ever seen." The husband of Georgiana, Duke Devonshire in the year, the Duchess, along with her husband, leave London, leave for a while, but leave, and the Duchess meets Lady Elizabeth Cavendish, more known under the pseudonym Bess in the city of Bata.

They became very close friends with each other, Elizabeth became a beggar after separation from her husband, and two of their sons. Given the connection that developed between the two women and the difficult situation in which her new girlfriend was located, with the concession of the duke, Elizabeth was allowed to live with the duchess for some time. When the duke began to drive more sexual relations with Lady Elizabeth, the three of them decide how to adopt the Love Trete Law, they agree that Lady Elizabeth will live with them continuously and constantly.

Lady Elizabeth “Bess” Foster, the brushes of Joshua Reynolds, while for representatives of the male high -end, it was a common thing to have lovers, with a living and legal wife for a mistress, it was not ordinary or generally acceptable to live so openly with a married couple that was the “Threesome Love” law. In addition, the duchess became emotionally dependent on Lady Elizabeth, whom she considered her best friend.

Without another way out, she calmed down and even reconciled with it.But, although the relationship between the Duke and Lady Elizabeth was clearly sexy, there is no specific evidence of anything other than emotional dependence, special and open attachment from the Duchess to Lady Elizabeth. In one of her letters, the Duchess of Devonshire wrote Elizabeth: "My dear Bess, do you hear the voice of my heart that appeals to you?

Do you feel what it means for me to be separated from you? The fact that Lady Elizabeth shared her love with her was proven after her death many years later, when a medallion containing a strand of the hair of the Duchess was found on her neck, as well as a bracelet, also containing the hair of the duchess, on the table of her deathbed, yes, these ladies were homosexuals.

It was reported that Lady Elizabeth entered the marriage, taking advantage of the friendship and love of the Duchess, and "paved the way" to sexual relations with the duke. Lady Elizabeth entered well -documented sexual relations with other men, being in the "love triangle" with the Duke and the Duchess. Among their contemporaries, the relationship between the Duchess of Devonshire and Lady Elizabeth Foster was the subject of speculation, which continued after their time.

The love triangle itself was a sad theme; It was an irregular agreement in a loud marriage. The Duchess of Devonshire, the brushes of Thomas Gainsboro, despite her misfortune in the person of her very distant and depraved husband, and an unstable marriage, the duchess, as the then rules demanded, did not even have the right to unofficially start a lover until the male heir. The result of her first successful births was Lady Georgian Dorothy Cavendish, she was born on July 12.

Which was affectionately called "Little Ji", later she will become Countess Carlisle, who later will have her own problems, but for now she is a small child. The duchess at the time of the birth of a “little ji”, already quite well developed maternal instincts when she looked after Charlotte, and she insisted to grow a newborn on her own contrary to the aristocratic custom of having a nurse.

Finally, on May 21, the Duchess still gives rise to the heir to the man, and the name is to him: William George Spencer Cavendish, who received the title of Marquis Gartington, and the Duchess finally could have such a long-awaited lover. Although there is no evidence when the duchess began his romance with Charles Gray, but she already pregnant from him in the year.

The Duchess of Devonshire, the brushes of Joshua Reynolds, –81 Duchess went to France, and already thought that she could not bear the next birth, and that she was about to die. She believed in her death so that she even decides to write a letter to her recently born son, which said: “As soon as you grow up enough to understand this letter, it will be transmitted to you.

It contains the only gift that I can give you - my blessing written by my blood, alas, I left before you could recognize me, but I loved you, I fed you with my chest for nine months. I love you very much. The Duchess was forced to send this illegitimate child to the Grace family. Later, the Duchess will be allowed to apply the visits of her daughter, but only if she will come only with gifts and love, and Eliza herself will grow up with a quite normal person, will marry Robert Ellis Lieutenant Colonel and give birth to a daughter, according to the traditions of this article, will call her named Giorgian.

The Duchess of Devonshire, the brushes of Lady Diana Boklerk, being exiled in France in the beginning of the X, the Duchess of Devonshire suffered from loneliness, was terribly missing her children, and barely how she transferred separation from them. She wrote to her older child: “I received your letter from November 1, it was delightfully charming, but it led to me the terrible sadness of my dear child.

Really, this year was the worst in my life. Today I’m completely out of spirit, and I really want to see you again, your face is the only thing I need now for happiness. ” She really wanted to return to England to her children, and therefore decided to give in to the requirements of her husband, and abandoned her novel with Charles Gray. Records about her link in France, later were almost completely destroyed from the family archives.

Be that as it may, the children of the Duke and the Duchess were informed at some point, about the absence of a duchess in this period of their life. While the duchess coped with her very complex marriage, she also experienced strong emotional and psychological pressure. She began to seek comfort in the “rampant life”, her “revenge” was manifested in communication, fashion, politics, literature, she also added to gambling games of drunkenness and drugs.

She again began her romance with Gray, but not only with him, but also with other men, in particular with the Dorset Duke.The Duchess of Devonshire, the brushes of Joshua Reynolds, the desire and glory with her famous beauty and character, along with her marriage with a rich and very powerful Duke Devonshire, and the Duchess herself became a very powerful lady in society.

She was, so to speak, the personification of her time. Her sharp instinct made her an extravagant female leader in fashion and style in England only fashionable styling of her hair, achieved incredible success among fashionistas of England, and even after her death. Using her influence and position, as a leading socialite and a fashion and style icon, she begins to poke her nose into politics, science and literature.

Within the framework of her famous social events, she began to collect a large interior consisting of writers and politicians around her. Among her main acquaintances were the most influential figures of her time, including Prince Wales later King George IV; Maria-Antoinette, and her favorite at court, the Duchess of Polinak; Charles Gray later Earl Gray and Prime Minister of Great Britain; And Lady Melbourne the mistress of the Prince of Wales.

The newspapers literally replaced with headlines about each of its appearance in the world and almost every of any of its activities. Horas Walpol called her a “phenomenon”, who wrote about her like this: “She overshadows and surpasses almost everyone, while being not so beautiful; But her young -looking figure, a smooth good nature, common sense in words, lively modesty, as well as modest familiarity make her a phenomenon.

" As we can see, everyone gave different assessments to the beauty of the Duchess, Won Walpol even called her “not so beautiful” but everyone was united in opinions that she was very beautiful from the inside. Sir Nathaniel Revol said that the success of this lady lies in her unique deceit, according to Resole, this lies is: “Her courtesy and grace, in her behavior, in her excellent manners, and in the temptation of her society.

However, since the high position of the Duke in Perera did not allow him to participate in politics so often, the duchess took it as a positive way out for himself. In the era, when even more than a hundred years remained before the rights of women and suffrage, the duchess became a political activist, becoming the first woman who actively and influential on the political stage.

Starting in politics in the year when she inspired a lot of women to promote the Viga party, she enjoyed the enlightenment and ideals of the Viga party, and took responsibility for the party’s campaign - especially for the far cousin Charles Fox, who was the main leader of the party along with Richard Sheridan - the policy of the Vig, which was anti -monarchical and advocated for freedom for freedom for freedom Against tyranny.

During her participation, King George III who hated the Vigs and his ministers had a direct influence on the House of Commons, mainly due to their patronage. The Prince of Wales, who always liked to go against the current with his father, joined the Viga party when his girlfriend, the Duchess entered her. She was known that she arranged dinners that turned into political meetings, and she was pleasure to communicate with brilliant radicals.

During the general elections of the year, the duchess became the main object of close attention. During the campaign, there were fantastic rumors and political caricatures that ridiculed her for receiving votes in exchange for sexual and monetary reward. Her mother begged her to resign. Nevertheless, the duchess was not adamant in her activity. On the day of the election, the Duchess of Devonshire walked along the streets of London, even gained blisters on her feet, she even met face to face with commoners on equal terms.

She played an important role in the success of Fox and Lord Hood. Nevertheless, after an extensive campaign and negativity in the media against it, she left the political arena for some time after the victory. In the year, she returned to political activity, albeit behind the scenes. Even in the last years of her life, she moved forward in this area and tried to help restore the Viga party, which became fragmented; Her efforts were unsuccessful, and the political party will ultimately decay decades after its death.

Literature in her life the Duchess was an avid writer and wrote several works, both prose and poetry, some of which were published. As a child, she composed poems for her father, and some of them later spread in manuscripts. She was read by Walpol, who said that she was "easily and beautifully expressed, although he did not express much" and the Monk William Mason who was more favorable and a higher opinion about her first verses.

The first of her published literary works was Emma, ​​or "Unfortunate attachment: sentimental novel" in the year. In the year, the epistolary novel "Sylphide" was released.Published anonymously, he contained autobiographical elements, in the center of which was a fictional aristocratic bride, who was corrupted, and as "novel-disobedience of aristocratic cohort [duchess], depicted as lecherous, blackmailers and alcoholics.

However, it is more likely that Brisco, possibly, served as an intermediary between the Devonshire Directorate and its publisher, to make it to be a publisher, so that it was to be a publisher. The Duchess could have been anonymous, at least at least in its authorship, at least, at least admitted to the country of the country in Switzerland. First, in the unauthorized version in Morning Kronikli and Morning Post dated December 20 and 21, and then in a private printed publication in the year.

A poem of thirty stanzas, together with 28 expanded notes, in addition, was transferred to some of the main languages ​​of Western Europe, including French, Abbot Jacques Delil, about which was a post, in the year; On Italian, Signor Polydori, in the year for German, and in the year, the "passage through Mount Saint-Gard" was reprinted, and once again a year, after the death of the duchess.
