Notes |
- Countess of Sutherland
In 1766 her father died aged thirty-one, only two weeks after her mother had died, aged twenty-six. Elizabeth was the only surviving child and became Countess of Sutherland in her own right, although her guardians had to fight for this recognition against two other claimants, and 'Ban mhorair Chataibh', a Celtic title meaning 'Great Lady of Sutherland'.
As a young girl her prettyness excited the admiration of Lady Bessborough, who thought her the most enviable person she knew, 'with great cleverness, beauty, talents, and a thousand amiable qualities....a propriety of manner and conduct'. However, her tenants in Sutherland saw another person. She was the Great Lady of Sutherland but spoke no Gaelic, the only language of her people, and apparently even despised the customs and manners of the Highland people whose chief she was. 'She was as English in mood and taste as the furniture of a London drawingroom.'
In 1785 she married George Granville Leveson-Gower and, from 1803 until 1833, they were styled Marquess and Marchioness of Stafford. In 1833 her husband became Duke of Sutherland and she became known as the Duchess-Countess. Sadly, six months later her husband died. In old age she lost her prettiness and grew rather plump. As a result Creevey observed: 'It was as good as a play, to see old Sutherland moving her huge derrière by slow and dignified degrees about in her chair, so as to come into action if necessary.' She survived her husband by six years.
