Melusina von der Schulenburg, Countess of Walsingham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Melusina von der Schulenburg, Countess of Walsingham (1693-1778) was the illegitimate daughter of King George I of Great Britain and his long-term mistress Ehrengard Melusine von der Schulenburg, Duchess of Kendal and Munster.
In 1722 Melusina was created Countess of Walsingham in her own right.
In 1733 she married the Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, a leading Whig politician. She died childless, and so her peerage became extinct upon her death.
