Charlotte Lee, Countess of Lichfield
Charlotte Lee, Countess of Lichfield (5 September 1664 – 17 February 1718), formerly Lady Charlotte Fitzroy, was the illegitimate daughter of King Charles II of England by one of his best known mistresses, Barbara Villiers, 1st Duchess of Cleveland
==Family==
She was the fourth child and second daughter of Barbara Palmer ''née'' Villiers, Countess of Castlemaine who was by then separated but still married to Roger Palmer, 1st Earl of Castlemaine. Castlemaine did not father any of his wife's children; rather, Charlotte and her siblings were the illegitimate offspring of their mother's royal lover, Charles II. The king acknowledged her as his daughter and so she bore the surname of Fitzroy – "son of the King".
She was the favourite niece of James, Duke of York, younger brother of Charles II, who would later reign as James II. "We know but little of her except that she was beautiful;"〔From John Heneage Jesse's ''Memoirs of the Court of England During the Reign of the Stuarts'', 1855, page 171.〕 she "rivaled her mother in beauty, but was far unlike her in every other respect."〔Jameson's ''The Beauties of the Court of Charles the Second: A Series of Memoirs Biographical and Critical'', 2005, page 82.〕 As the Duchess of Cleveland was known for her diabolical nature, the implication here is that Charlotte was a sweet-tempered and pleasing person; one memoirist attests to that assumption, describing Lady Lichfield as "a very good and virtuous lady." It is said that the king had a greater value and love for this lady than he had for his other children.
