(") An account of this Embassy, with many fine plates, including one of the Earl " kissing the Pope's toe," was " printed for the author (folio) 1688." (k) It is, however, not very clear on what ground the three sons of his wife (all of them born in wedlock, and all of them called by Ins suruamo of " Palmer " in their infancy) were not, by law, legitimate, no divorce having ever taken place. In that case his honours would have descended with the Dukedom of Southampton (afterwards, 1709-74, merged in that of Cleveland) till 1774, and, after that date, with the Dukedom of Grafton.

She is generally supposed to have been the child of Lord Chesterfield, yet Lord Castlemaine always acknowledged her as his own, as did the King also, who, by warrant, dat. 28 Feb. 1672/3, grants to her and her sister, viz. : " unto the Lady Anne Fitzroy and the Lady Charlotte Fitzroy, his dear and natural daughters by the Duchess of Cleveland," the same armorial ensigns as those of " his dear and natural sen Charles Fitzroy, Earl of Southampton, their eldest brother." ( u ) This was purchased by his Father hi 1073 who went to "a prodigious cost in planting walnut trees and making (ish ponds, many miles in circuit."
