Jane Granville, Countess of Bath

She was a Lady of the Bedchamber to Catherine of Braganza, the queen consort of King Charles II of England.

Her uncle, Nathaniel Wyche, was a merchant and president of the East India Company.

[6] He received his earldom at the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, making his wife a countess.

The couple's children included:[2] The earl outlived his wife and died in 1701, but was followed within a fortnight by his son and heir, the 2nd Earl, who is thought to have committed suicide by shooting himself (possibly because the debts he had inherited exceeded his income)[11] and was buried on the same day as his father.

[6] The title passed to Charles's only son, William, who died of smallpox, aged 19, in 1711.
