My Lady Barbara
(By F. B. W.; iii •The Winnipeg Free,
Press)
The Dictionary of National Biogra-
phy, Volume 20, 1917 edition, devotes
121/2 columns to Barbara Villiers who
was •born in 1,641 and died in 1709.
She was lay all accounts quite a gal.
She is of interest today because she
is in direct line an ancestor of the
Earl of Euston who 'in turn has made
the news because he has lately been
seen as escort t� Princess Elizabeth..
All this makes Barbara a figure of
note and adds a pleasant tingle to
an old romance which, though frown- 1
ed upon among the_ best people, stir-
red the 'countryside in 'its day, Bar-
bara, the Countess of Castlemaine, is,
mentioned often in Pepys' Dairy
though what he'says will not be quot-,
ed here. r
There is also considerable material
on her in various letters and publica-
tions. All of them testify to her
beauty which' has been -"set aside for'
this dreary age in a series ef--magnift-
' cent- portraits'by Sir Peter Leljs. -
Flattery Did Not Lie
Sir Peter Was given to flattery but
even flattery could ,not 'have colored.
the record that snitch forshe appears
in his paintings with a twinkling of
eye, and a flicker of soft• half open
lips 'sufficient to pulse the heart two
centuries later. What she did in her
own day the Biography'descri.bes with -
an attaepapt at coldness •which the
facts belie".•
There was nothing. cold. about Bar-
bara Villiers except her attitude to
an unfortunate gentleman by 'the
name of Palmer whose only claim to
fame, is the fact that hewas married
to, her and later. for this reason and
this reason only, was created Earl of
Castlemaine by King Charles. •
From here on in, Mr. Palmer ap-
pearsbriefly in the picture. He once
claimed paternity of a' child of Bar-
bara's which the king later took for
his own by 'royal warrant. The Dic-
tionary is mote specific about other
facts but it. fails to point the real
truth of Barbara Villiers which was,
according to all who knew-, that'' she
was singularly beautiful, thoroughly
immoral, highly attractive -and most
self-willed,
Ls.
She became in turn Lady Castle-
maine and the Duchess of Cleveland
and her hold on the king wavered but
never weakened. When the future
wife of Charles arrived in Britain, the
bonfires were lit throughout the coun-
try but the doorway- to Barbara's
house was dark for the good reason.
perhaps that, Charles himself was
there and not at the dock to meet his
lady.
Barbara chose for the confinement
'of her second child the royal palace
at Hampton Court where co -incident-
ally the king., was ser.ing out his
honeymoon with Catherine of Brag-
•anza. It was with difficulty the king
persuaded hey to go elsewhere.
Catherine met Barbera at Hampton
Court that same summer and was car-
ried from the royal apartment in a fit
though the latter seems• to have sur-
vived the meeting with nothing more
than slight amusement. In the con-
test which followed, Catherine' refus-
ed to accept her rival as lady-in-wait-
ing and was only persuaded to do so
when Charley. becoming more feroc-
ious by, the hour, laid sown a .fairly
brutal ultimatum. .
Barbara tried 'her hand at politics
and' there also she got her way. Other
men, rivalling the king, appear on the
scene, but the royal romance con -
Unites with gifts and pensions and de-
lightful evenings in the garden at.
Westminister so• that as Pepys re-
marks even the royal sentries Com-
ment on the fact.
Her daughters and sons were mar-
ried off and the name Fitzroy appears
to be carried by the Dukes of Grafton
down to the present, day, She .lived
and was married again and died at
Chiswick on October 9, of the dropsy
which, according to Boyer, . "swelled
her to a rnonstrous bulk."
But monstrous or not, she was in•
her day the fairest 'of the fair, the
fiery jealous termagant with auburn
hair and blue eyes, equally -beautiful
whether in "full panoply" or light cos•
tome. ,
No monument was erected to her.
for times .had 'changed and the merri-
ness-of the Restoration had g"ive•n way
to the dullness of a later age.
Ironic Reward
She wopld laugh today, we think, if
she could gee what had sprung from
her sins and feel that, in its.' way, it
was a fitting if ironic reward.
She would like the night,clubs-of
London 'because she was a gay thing
and she would enjoy,,the spirit of hard
living which the, war has spread
around the world. She 'Would be
rather fond too of the. Earl of Euston
who by all accounts is a nice young
man in whom the cycle is now com-
plete.
