Frances Talbot, Countess of Tyrconnel
Frances Talbot, Countess of Tyrconnel (''née'' Jennings, previously Hamilton; – 9 March 1730) was a prominent figure in the Restoration court, together with her younger sister, Sarah Jennings. Once a maid of honour to the Duchess of York, she was twice widowed and eventually died in poverty.
==Early life==
The daughter of Richard Jennings and Frances Thornhurst, Frances was born at Sandridge, Hertfordshire, England. Her beauty earned her the nickname "''La Belle Jennings''." Macaulay describes her as “beautiful Fanny Jennings, the loveliest coquette in the brilliant Whitehall of the Restoration."〔Macaulay, ''The History of England from the Accession of James the Second''〕 In 1664, Frances was appointed maid of honour to the Duchess of York, Anne Hyde. Wild and reckless as a girl, Pepys records an incident in which she disguised herself as an orange seller, but was eventually recognised by her expensive shoes.
