[2] Henrietta married the Duke of Bolton in Dublin in about 1697,[3] some years after the death of his second wife, Frances.
She was around twenty years his junior, and he was known in society as ‘a most lewd, vicious man, a great dissembler and a very hard drinker’.
[5] Following the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715, Henrietta interceded, unsuccessfully, with King George I on behalf of her friend Anna Radclyffe, Countess of Derwentwater, whose husband, James, the 3rd Earl, was condemned to death for his role in the rebellion.
[6] She was one of the aristocratic female signatories to Thomas Coram's petition to establish the Foundling Hospital, which was presented to King George II in 1735.
[7][8] Her portrait, by Sir Godfrey Kneller, is held by the Art Gallery of South Australia;[9] the Royal Collection has a mezzotint copy and a watercolour miniature.
