From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lord Charles Arthur Francis Cavendish (August 29, 1905 - March 23, 1944) was the second son of Victor Cavendish, 9th Duke of Devonshire and his wife Lady Evelyn Emily Mary Petty-FitzMaurice.
He was educated at St Cyprian's School, Eastbourne, Eton and Cambridge University. He joined the Royal Tank Regiment where he became a lieutenant.
In 1932 he married Adele Astaire, sister of Fred Astaire at the family seat Chatsworth House, Derbyshire. Their children - a daughter born in 1933 and twin sons born in 1937 - lived only for a few hours.
Cavendish died aged 38 after long illness at Lismore Castle, County Waterford, Ireland.
