The Ladies of Llangollen were two upper-class women from Ireland whose relationship scandalised and fascinated their contemporaries.〔Fullest treatment in ''The Ladies of Llangollen'' by Elizabeth Mavor, Penguin 1971〕 ==Early lives==
Eleanor Charlotte Butler (11 May 1739 – 2 June 1829 (age 90)) was a member of one of the dynastic families of Ireland, the Butlers, the Earls (and later Dukes) of Ormond. Eleanor was considered an over-educated bookworm by her family, who resided at the Butler family seat Kilkenny Castle. She spoke French and was educated in a convent in France. Her mother tried to make her join a convent because she was remaining a spinster. Sarah Ponsonby (1755–9 December 1831 (age 72-76)) lived with relatives in Woodstock, County Kilkenny, Ireland. She was a second cousin of Frederick Ponsonby, 3rd Earl of Bessborough, and thus a second cousin once-removed, of his daughter the Lady Caroline Lamb. Their families lived only two miles (3 km) from each other. They met in 1768, and quickly became friends. Over the years they formulated a plan for a private rural retreat.
