Catherine Sedley, Countess of Dorchester
Catherine Sedley, Countess of Dorchester, Countess of Portmore (21 December 1657 – 26 October 1717), daughter of Sir Charles Sedley, 5th Baronet,〔 was the mistress of King James II and VII both before and after he came to the thrones.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp01333/catherine-sedley-countess-of-dorchester )〕 Catherine was not noted for beauty but was famous for her wittiness and sharp tongue.
==Early life==
Catherine was the only legitimate child of Restoration hellrake and poet Sir Charles Sedley. Her mother was Lady Catherine Savage, daughter of John Savage, 2nd Earl Rivers. She grew up "notoriously plain" (brunette and thin rather than plump and fair). While her father roistered around England, her mother spiraled into insanity until she entered a psychiatric hospital in Ghent in Catherine's early teens.
At this low point in her life, Sir Charles introduced a common-law wife, Anne Ayscough, into the family and ejected Catherine from the house.
