99. Chatsworth and The Duchesses of Devonshire

Listen Later

This week, join us for a journey 500 years in the making! Off to Derbyshire we go to spend some time at Chatsworth, the ancestral home of the Cavendish family and the Dukes and Duchesses of Devonshire through time. 

There were many women who claimed the Duchess title, and a few who did not. We explore them all - from Bess of Hardwick, the lady who begins it all, to Georgiana Spencer and Deborah Mitford, the ones who did attain the title, as well as the ones who did not, including Lady Caroline Lamb, Adele Astaire, and Kick Kennedy. 

  • Mary Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (1646–1710), wife of the first duke
  • Rachel Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (1674 – 1725), wife of the second duke
  • Catherine Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (1700–1777), wife of the third duke
  • Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (1757–1806), first wife of the fifth duke
  • Elizabeth Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (1759–1824), second wife of the fifth duke
