Memoirs of the Reign of King George the Second, Volume 3 (of 3)
Walpole, Horace
Great Britain -- History -- George II, 1727-1760
George I., besides the Duchess of Kendal, had several other
mistresses, particularly one whom he brought over and created
Countess of Darlington; by whom he was father of Charlotte,
Viscountess Howe, though she was not publicly avowed. In the last
year or two of his life he had another mistress, Miss Anne Brett,
daughter, by her second husband, Colonel Brett, of the famous
divorced Countess of Macclesfield, mother of Savage, the poet. Miss
Brett had an apartment given to her in the palace at St. James’s, and
was to have been created a Countess, if the King had returned.
