She was a shadow in her story - no idea what she was like. That what was so strange it was about the actions of others in her life.

Yes it's her descendants but they nearly lost it all. She was made ill by a vicar and his brother whilst travelling abroad after her husband's death. A doctor drugged her and left her weak and she woke up married by the vicar to his brother. In those days all her wealth went to her husband. It took nearly 5 yrs of court cases to declare she never married and the money stayed in the family.

Last night was very good. Mary was born as her father died of the plague in 1665. He'd been left a farm which he sold off in bits and became very rich. Mary got everything and her mother hadn't got money so tried to sell her off for marriage at 10 but it fell through then she's wed at 12 to the 1st Duke of Westminster. Great story about all the men in her life as she goes through life helpless as a woman. Her sons build Grosvenor Square and parts of Mayfair and she end up mentally ill. :-S
