The sums he paid are stated to be £2,048, £4,500 and £500 in addition. lie has been stated to be a man of notable courage, vigour of mind, and gentleness of disposition with a humility and meekness of nature and vivacity of wit, with virtue and piety, etc. He died unmarried before he could return to Antwerp the 4th of February, and was buried at Bolsover on the 24th of February 1653 where there is a memorial to him. XX.—Charles Cavendish, died aged three years and was buried at Bols over on the 9th of April, 1620. Williani Cavendish, who is described in the registers as son of Viscount Mansfield, was buried at Bolsover on the 6th of June, 1626. William Cavendish, Viscount Mansfield, was buried at Boisover on the 17th of February, 1632/3. Charles Cavendish, Viscount Mansfield, was at the battle of Marston moor, on the 3rd of July, 1644, and the next day followed his father into exile, but possibly returned with his stepmother the niarchioness of Newcastle and his uncle to England in 1649, for he died without surviving issue in June, 1659, and was buried at Bolsover, where there is a memorial to him. He married Elizabeth, daughter and co-heiress of Richard Rogers of Brianston, Dorsetshire; she had one daughter, who died young, and she afterwards married Charles Stuart, duke of Richmond. Henry Cavendish, second duke of Newcastle, was born in 1630, and was styled ju 164d Lord Hen Cavendish, in 1659 Viscount Mansfield, and in 16645 the earl of Ogle. He was at the battle of Marston moor the 3rd of July, 1644. then only a boy, and returned to England at the Restoration, and from the Year 16(31 to 16fl, as Viscount Mansfield and earl of Ogle, was knight of the shire of Northumberland, and it was probably at this time that Ogle castle was rebuilt in the style shown in the plate. On the 2nd of July, 1666, he was appointed captain of a troop of horse, and on the 13th of June, 1667, colonel of a regiment of foot, and on the 27th of June, 1667, governor of Newcastle. In State Papers there are numerous commissions to him in this year and as comniander-in-chief of the four northern counties. This was during the Dutch war of that year, when l and the earl of Carlisle went to Newcastle and encouraged and raised the hope of the people; they were very active and had made arrangements to return and secure Shields. Lord Ogle’s regiment rendezvoused at Kullingwortli moor. He is said to have been appointed lord lieutenant of Northumberland about 1673,792 but his father at that time held that office so lie must have only been a deputy. There seems to be some confusion over his numerous commissions, for in 1666 he seems to have been appointed general of Newcastle and also governor of the town and port of Newcastle, the 2nd of April, l673, which he also held in 1667, see above. As earl of Ogle he was Master of the Robes and Lord of the Bed- chamber and a Privy Councillor to Charles II. On the death of his father, the 25th of December, 1676. he succeeded to the dukedom and to Welbeck abbey, since which time he had little to do with Northumberland excepting as regards his property. On the 19t.h of April, 1677, he was installed a Knight of the Garter. The achievement over his stall in. St. George’s chapel, Windsor, reads as follows —‘ Du tres haut, puissant et très noble Prince Henjy Due, Marquis, et Comte de Newcastle, Comte de Ogle, Vicomfe Mansfield, Baron e Cal. Seq. Corn. Reg.

| 77 years old on her marriage, but apparently did not live with her husband. It appears that her mother having remarried, the guardianship of the heiress was transferred to her grandmother, widow of Earl Algernon, who married her to the earl of Ogle, after whose death the young widow appeared in weeds at the court of Charles II., the old Dowager, the middle of 1681, married her to’ Thomas Thynne of Longleat, one of the richest commoners—called ‘Tom of the Ten Thousand,’ contrary to the wish of Elizabeth, who, it is said, was attached to Count Carl J Koningsmark, a Swedish nobleman. Another account says she niarried him in December, 1681; however, a letter in the Historical Manuscripts of the duke of Buccleugh and Queensberry, dated the 10th of November, 1681, describes ‘Lady Ogle as gone from her grandmother from Northumberland House esterday morning Lady Ogle dressed herself to go abroad to Lomband St the king, who said if she was married to him she had been betrayed by those who pretended and ought to have been her best friends . . . . she did own her marriage to Mr. Thynne but not fully and that now she could not endure him.’ It appears the marriage contracts took place at Sion and her suitors were the duke of Somerset., the earl of Kingston and Count Konings mark. At the time of her marriage Count Koningsmark was abroad. Late on Sunday, the 12th of February, 1682, Mr. Thynne was driving in his walk in Pall Mall when three ruffians, hired, it is said, by the count assassinated him; these three ruffians were executed, but for want of evidence the count was acquitted. But the date is given as 14th of February, 168112, when Thynne, esq., was assassinated by a count, pretender to Lady Ogle, whose brother, Philip, Count Koningsrnark, the lover of Sophie Dorothea, consort of George, afterwards the first of England, was afterwards cut to pieces in the Leine Schloss near the Palace of Herenhausen, whilst he was crying to spare the princess. Mr. Thynne was buried in Westminster abbey where there is a monument to him, showing in relief the episodes of his death. Within four months she married thirdly, in May, 1682, Charles Seymour (or St. Maur) duke of Somerset, who assumed the name and arms of Percy, but she released him when he caine of age and he resumed his own name. It is related in 1682, Lady Ogle is married to the duke of Somerset. and Lord Grey and Lord Aihermarle fought a duel.sOT Dean Swift mentions her in ‘The Windsor Prophecy ‘ his allusion being, ‘beware of carrots from Northumberland,’ owing to her red hair. Two of her children are buried in the abbey; her granddaughter and heiress married Sir Hugh Smithson, Bt., afterwards duke of Northumberland, whose banner now exhibits an assemblage of 892 armorial ensigns, amongst which are those of Henry V11., of several younger branches of the blood royal, of the sovereign houses of France, Casfile, Leon and Scotland, and of the ducal houses of Normandy and Brittany, etc. Eliza beth died on the 23rd of November, 1722. Lord Basset Cavendlish died before his brother Henry. Lady Elizabeth Cavendish married on the 30th of December, 1669, the earl of Torrington, afterwards second duke of Albermarle and governor of J amaica, where he died, on the 6th of October. 1688, but was buried in 1689 in Westminster abbey. The marriage licence for the earl of Torrington and Dame Elizabeth Cavendish, daughter of the earl of Ogle, to marry at the chapel of the duke of Newcastle at Clerkenwell or St. James, is dated the 19th of December, 1669.
