Great accounting of her life! I love Arabella Stuart, and I also love some of the Duchesses of Devonshire. They of course look to Bess for their dear beloved Chatsworth. She was an amazing woman.
Was so excited to see Bess’s name appear! To this day, Mary Lovell’s book about her remains one of my all time favourite historical biographies. Then again, it’s easy when you’ve got a subject as fascinating as Bess. One of my favourite fun facts about her is that she breastfed all of her children, which was considered very odd of her at the time.
Thank you for bringing her to life again for me - and for sharing her story!

This should definitely be on info boards at both Chatsworth and Hardwick.
