Talk:Henry Brydges, 2nd Duke of Chandos

wives?
The picture is said to show second wife Cassandra; but no such wife is discussed in the text -- the second wife there is "Anne," with the strange story of having been bought from an abusive husband...Someone with access to good sources needs to clear this up.

 * Henry is the child in the portrait, the wives referred to in the caption are thos of his father. I will perhaps look at changing the caption to be clearer. Nancy  talk  16:34, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Anne Wells
The quote about how he came to marry the chambermaid somewhat contradicts this other one I found on the Wife selling (English custom) page: "The Duke of Chandos, while staying at a small country inn, saw the ostler beating his wife in a most cruel manner; he interfered and literally bought her for half a crown. She was a young and pretty woman; the Duke had her educated; and on the husband's death he married her. On her death-bed, she had her whole household assembled, told them her history, and drew from it a touching moral of reliance on Providence; as from the most wretched situation, she had been suddenly raised to one of the greatest prosperity; she entreated their forgiveness if at any time she had given needless offence, and then dismissed them with gifts; dying almost in the very act." – The Gentleman's Magazine (1832) -- Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû  (blah?)  04:07, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
