Elizabeth Sackville, Duchess of Dorset

Elizabeth Sackville, Duchess of Dorset, formerly Elizabeth Colyear, was a British court official and noble, the wife of Lionel Sackville, 1st Duke of Dorset.
She was the daughter of Lieutenant-General Walter Colyear. In 1703, at the age of fourteen, Elizabeth came to court as a Maid of honour to Queen Anne, a position she inherited from her aunt Catherine [Sedley, Countess of Dorchester].
They were married in January 1709, but the marriage was not made public until the duchess became pregnant. The couple had five children in all:

Charles, Earl of Middlesex
Lord John Sackville
Lord George Sackville
Elizabeth, who married Thomas Thynne, 2nd Viscount Weymouth
Caroline [Damer, Countess of Dorchester|Caroline], who married Joseph Damer, 1st Earl of Dorchester.

Between 1714 and 1737 She was a Lady of the Bedchamber and to Caroline of Ansbach, wife of King George II of Great Britain. From 1723 to 1731 she was Caroline's Mistress of the Robes, a title that can be held by no one of lower rank than a duchess. The arrangements for Caroline's appearance at her coronation in 1727 were, however, made by an experienced subordinate.
