Charlotte Sophia Fitzalan-Howard (''née'' Leveson-Gower), Duchess of Norfolk (bapt. 9 July 1788–7 July 1870) was a daughter of the 1st Duke of Sutherland and his wife, Elizabeth, suo jure Countess of Sutherland. On 27 December 1814, she married Henry Charles Howard (b. 1791), the son and heir of Bernard Edward Howard, who was the heir presumptive to his childless and elderly cousin Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk. She became the Countess of Arundel and Surrey in 1815 when Bernard succeeded as 12th Duke, and upon the death of her husband's father in 1842, she became the Duchess of Norfolk. The couple later had five children: * Lady Adeliza Matilda Fitzalan-Howard (d. 1904) *Henry Granville Fitzalan-Howard, 14th Duke of Norfolk (1815–1860) *Lord Edward Fitzalan-Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Glossop (1818–1883) * Lady Mary Charlotte Howard (1822–1897) *Lord Bernard Thomas Fitzalan-Howard (1825–1846) Henry Charles Howard and his father were Roman Catholics, although his mother Lady Elizabeth Belasyse was Anglican. It is not clear if Howard was formally and nominally raised Anglican, or if he was already Catholic when he married into a prominent Whig (and therefore anti-Catholic) family. In 1829, after Catholic emancipation, the Earl of Surrey (as he now was) was elected a Member of Parliament. One of the duchess's most accomplished works was a 166-piece collection of songs and piano pieces that she translated into five languages between 1811 and 1823. It includes works from composers such as Rousseau, Gay, Mozart, Arnold, Arne and Handel. The collection is currently held by Yale University. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charlotte Fitzalan-Howard, Duchess of Norfolk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
