Anne, Countess of Macclesfield, sometime wife of

|
|
|

|
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of the major scandals of the first half of the
eighteenth century was the parentage of the |
|
|
|
writer and poet Richard Savage. He maintained that
he was the illegitimate son of the 4th Earl |
|
|
|
Rivers and Anne, Countess of Macclesfield, who
spent much of her later life denying this |
|
|
|
|
relationship. The following article appeared in
the Australian monthly magazine "Parade" in its |
|
|
|
issue for February 1963:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Never had the fashionable world of Bath had such
a juicy theme for scandal as in the autumn |
|
|
|
of 1728. In pumproom and ballroom, wits were
delightedly quoting a newly-published poem, The |
|
|
|
Bastard, the work of a debthaunted young Fleet
Street hack named Richard Savage. Savage's |
|
|
|
target was a celebrated figure in Bath society -
Mrs. Anne Brett, formerly Countess of |
|
|
|
|
Macclesfield, the woman whom Savage claimed was
his mother. Not only did Mrs. Brett deny |
|
|
|
that the poet was her illegitimate son, she
persecuted him with what Dr. Johnson called |
|
|
|
|
"implacable and restless cruelty" from
his childhood until the day he died of starvation and fever |
|
|
|
in a debtors' gaol. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Publication of the poem drove Anne Brett from
Bath. It deepened the malignant fury that made |
|
|
|
her campaign against Richard Savage an
extraordinary episode of the 18th century. |
|
|
|
|
Contemporaries had no doubt that Savage was indeed
her son - the fruit of her illicit liaison with |
|
|
|
[Richard Savage,4th] Earl Rivers while she was the
wife of the Earl of Macclesfield. In Richard's |
|
|
|
childhood, Anne tried to bury him in obscure
poverty by apprenticing him to a cobbler. In his |
|
|
|
youth, she schemed to have him shipped off to the
American colonies. Later she tried to have |
|
|
|
him hanged for murder. She failed in all attempts.
It was Savage's own frantic dissipation, to |
|
|
|
which her persecution drove him, that finally
killed him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Anne was born in 1668, daughter of Sir Richard
Mason. She was only 15 when she wed Charles |
|
|
|
Gerard, Earl of Macclesfield, a notorious hot-head
and political intriguer. A month after the |
|
|
|
marriage, Macclesfield was a prisoner in the Tower
for plotting against the Duke of York, brother |
|
|
|
of Charles II. When the Duke succeeded his brother
as James II in 1685, Macclesfield, who was |
|
|
|
involved in the Rye House Plot to murder the King,
was sentenced to death, but escaped with |
|
|
|
two years in the Tower. Anne later claimed she
saved her husband's life by yielding her honour |
|
|
|
to King James. Macclesfield did not believe her,
but he strongly suspected she was free with her |
|
|
|
favours elsewhere. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The exile of James and arrival of William and
Mary on the English throne restored Macclesfield to |
|
|
|
prosperity, which he celebrated by determined
efforts to get rid of his wanton wife. By 1690 |
|
|
|
Anne had been turned out of Macclesfield's London
mansion and told never to return. She was |
|
|
|
still only 22, in the full flush of her beauty,
and did not lack "protectors" for long. When she |
|
|
|
became the mistress of the sickly young Earl
Rivers is uncertain. But he fathered two illegitimate |
|
|
|
children by her - a daughter born in 1695 and a
son in January 1697. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The boy, born in the dingy alley of Fox Court,
off Holborn, was entered in the local parish |
|
|
|
parish register as "John Smith," sent to
a wet nurse in Hampstead and later handed over to |
|
|
|
Anne Portlock, a baker's wife, of Covent Garden.
Rivers acknowledged himself as the boy's |
|
|
|
father, paid for his upkeep, and even insisted on
the child being known by his own surname of |
|
|
|
Savage. Anne, however, felt none of the ties of
parenthood. She tried to keep the news of her |
|
|
|
children's birth from her husband, but gossip soon
reached Macclesfield, and, by the end of |
|
|
|
1697, he had launched proceedings for divorce in
the House of Lords. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'For three months London society smacked its lips
over the scandal, and debates on the earl's |
|
|
|
charges enlivened the Lords, until a special Act
of Parliament declared Macclesfield and Anne |
|
|
|
divorced.
Under its terms Macclesfield had to return his wife's dowry of
£20,000. Her fortune |
|
|
|
and handsome person soon attracted the roving eye
of an aristocratic young town idler, Henry |
|
|
|
Brett [1675-1724, MP for Bishop's Castle Dec
1701-1708]. Brett, who had contrived to pile up |
|
|
|
spectacular gambling debts in his brief career,
enlisted Anne's sympathy when his creditors |
|
|
|
thrashed him in the street beneath her window. In
1700 they were married. Her money bought |
|
|
|
Brett a colonelcy in the army, a partnership in
Drury Lane Theatre, and launched him on a |
|
|
|
career as a man of fashion and associate of the
literary celebrities of the London coffee houses. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Echoes of the Macclesfield divorce scandal still
lingered, however, and Anne set out with |
|
|
|
ruthless determination to silence them. Her
daughter by Earl Rivers had soon died. Anne's next |
|
|
|
step was to remove the boy from his father's
protection, and Rivers himself died in 1712 fully |
|
|
|
convinced that his son was also dead. By denying
young Richard's existence, Anne cheated the |
|
|
|
boy out of £6,000 that Rivers had planned to leave
him, but even this did not exhaust Anne's |
|
|
|
schemes to bury her disgrace in complete oblivion. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'For a few years Richard was shielded by Anne's
mother, Lady Mason, who was outraged by her |
|
|
|
daughter's conduct and paid for his education at a
grammar school in St. Alban's, outside |
|
|
|
London. Lady Mason's death removed the last
obstacle to Anne's plans. Richard was promptly |
|
|
|
taken from school and apprenticed to a London
shoemaker, in the hope that poverty and |
|
|
|
obscurity would swallow him up. In later years
Richard Savage swore that his mother even tried |
|
|
|
to have him shipped to the American colonies as an
indentured servant, but was foiled by |
|
|
|
Rivers' kinsmen, who knew her guilty secret.
Meanwhile, with Savage growing up unconscious |
|
|
|
of his parentage and stitching leather in a
Charing Cross garret, Mrs. Anne Brett and her gallant |
|
|
|
husband basked in the sunshine of wit and fashion. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In 1718 the blow fell. Richard Savage, now aged
20, emerged from his slum den loudly |
|
|
|
|
proclaiming himself the son of Earl Rivers and
calling on Anne Brett to acknowledge him as her |
|
|
|
son. Savage's claim was based on letters written
by Anne's mother, Lady Mason, which he had |
|
|
|
found among papers left by his former nurse. His
assertions set off a storm of controversy in |
|
|
|
London. Savage had already begun his writing
career as a poet, and his first play - "Love in a |
|
|
|
Veil" - was produced at Drury Lane in the
same year as he proclaimed his noble parentage. |
|
|
|
Cobbling was abandoned as a menial task unfit for
the son of an earl. Savage determined to live |
|
|
|
by literature, at least until his mother made more
suitable provision for him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Thus began the fantastic barrage of claim and
counter-claim, of blackmail threats, perjury and |
|
|
|
vituperative literary warfare that was to intrigue
London's mansions and taverns for the next 25 |
|
|
|
years. From the beginning Anne Brett furiously
denied that Savage was her son. She refused to |
|
|
|
to see him, and ordered her servants to thrash him
when he loitered outside her door. Once, |
|
|
|
when he broke into her house to demand an
interview, Anne screamed that he had come to |
|
|
|
murder her and her lackeys flung him into the
street, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Most of Savage's literary friends rallied to his
aid. He was befriended by Sir Richard Steele and |
|
|
|
the celebrated comedian Robert Wilkes. He was
rescued from starvation by a pension of £50 |
|
|
|
from an actress. Savage earned little money by his
writings, and his dissipation kept him in |
|
|
|
desperate poverty all his life despite the
sympathy of many powerful aristocrats who believed |
|
|
|
his claims. When his poems were published in 1726,
subscribers included the Duke of Rutland, |
|
|
|
the Duchess of Cleveland, the Countess of Warwick,
and a dozen more notables who regarded |
|
|
|
Anne Brett as "an unnatural monster."
Into his preface to the poems, Savage poured all his |
|
|
|
pent-up rage and frustration against his mother.
The attack, which goaded Anne to madness, |
|
|
|
almost had a fatal sequel a year later. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In November 1727 Savage stabbed and killed a man
in a tavern brawl. He was tried and |
|
|
|
|
sentenced to death, but because he had drawn his
sword on great provocation, his friends |
|
|
|
were certain of a reprieve. With remorseless
deliberation, Anne tried to foil every plea for mercy. |
|
|
|
For weeks Savage lay in Newgate under the shadow
of the gallows, until the Countess of |
|
|
|
Hertford induced the king to sign a pardon. [For
further details of this killing, see below]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Savage was freed in February 1728, and renewed
his pamphlet campaign with such vitriolic |
|
|
|
scorn that Anne - having failed to hang, transport
or cudgel him into silence - decided to try |
|
|
|
bribery. She persuaded her kinsman, Lord Tyrconnel, to take Savage into his house
and pay |
|
|
|
him an annual pension of £100. For a few months
the poet lived in comfort - then his humiliation |
|
|
|
exploded again in the ferocious satire of
"The Bastard." The poem was "subscribed with all Due |
|
|
|
Reverence to Mrs. Brett, once Countess of
Macclesfield, by Richard Savage, son of the late Earl |
|
|
|
Rivers." Savage ironically hailed his mother
as ".....unenslaved by Nature's narrow laws, Warm |
|
|
|
championess of Freedom's sacred cause!" Five
editions of the poem sold out in a few weeks. |
|
|
|
Street urchins chanted its lines. Mrs. Brett,
having fled to Bath to escape it, was driven out |
|
|
|
again by the wits who delighted in quoting it in
her presence. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Ousted from the shelter of Tyrconnel's house,
Savage escaped thrashings by Anne's retainers |
|
|
|
only by shifting desperately from one slum to
another. His later career was a miserable record |
|
|
|
of poverty, debts and semistarvation despite the
friendship of such celebrities as Pope and Dr. |
|
|
|
Johnson and a meagre pension paid him by Queen
Caroline. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His mother's vindictive wrath pursued him to the
end. The pension lapsed when Caroline died in |
|
|
|
1738, and Anne used her influence with Prime
Minister Walpole to ensure that it was not |
|
|
|
|
renewed. For five more years Anne Brett endured
the onslaughts of Savage and his supporters |
|
|
|
Dr. Johnson blasted her "implacable
cruelty." Pamphleteers branded her a "monster" and |
|
|
|
|
"Messalina." But Anne never changed her
declaration that Richard Savage was an imposter, |
|
|
|
and Savage's own reckless folly in his closing
years began to alienate many of his sympathisers. |
|
|
|
Finally, his friends raised a fund to send him out
of London to escape his host of creditors. In |
|
|
|
August 1743, in a Bristol debtors' gaol, ended
Savage's tormented life - and Anne Brett's long |
|
|
|
ordeal was over. She survived him by 10 years,
dying at the age of 85 on October 11, 1753.' |

Savage's [edited] entry in "The Newgate
Calendar" reads as follows:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In the month of December, 1727, this gentleman
[Savage], together with James Gregory and |
|
|
|
William Merchant, was indicted at the Old Bailey,
for the murder of James Sinclair; - Savage by |
|
|
|
giving him a mortal wound with a drawn sword in
the lower part of the belly; and Gregory and |
|
|
|
Merchant by aiding and abetting in the commission
of the said murder. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It appeared in evidence that these three
gentlemen had accidentally come, at a late hour, much |
|
|
|
disguised in liquor, to Robinson's coffee-house at
Charing Cross, and went into a room where Mr. |
|
|
|
Sinclair and other company were drinking.
Merchant, entering first, kicked down the table; and |
|
|
|
and Savage and Gregory drawing their swords, they
were earnestly desired to put them up, but |
|
|
|
refused to do so. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A scuffle ensued, in which Mr. Sinclair received
a mortal wound, and was heard to say "I am a |
|
|
|
dead man": soon after which the candles were
extinguished. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Another witness deposed that, as he and some
other company were on the point of leaving the |
|
|
|
house, the prisoners came in, when Merchant kicked
down the table, and Gregory, going up to |
|
|
|
the deceased, said, "Damn ye, you rascal,
deliver your sword"; on which weapons were drawn |
|
|
|
and the deceased wounded, as above mentioned: that
the deceased had his sword drawn when |
|
|
|
the word was given by Savage; but that he held it
with the point down towards the ground; |
|
|
|
but neither this deponent nor the former observed
that Merchant had any sword. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The perpetrators of this rash action having left
the house, some soldiers were sent for, by |
|
|
|
whom they were taken into custody, and lodged in
the round-house; and in the morning were |
|
|
|
carried before a magistrate, who committed them to
the Gate-house; but Mr. Sinclair dying on |
|
|
|
the following day, they were sent to Newgate. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The deceased had been attended by a clergyman,
who declared that he said he was stabbed |
|
|
|
before he had time to draw his sword; and his
testimony was confirmed by that of other |
|
|
|
|
witnesses. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'When the evidence was summed up, the Court
observed to the jury, that, "As the deceased |
|
|
|
and his companions were in possession of the room,
if the prisoners were the aggressors, by |
|
|
|
coming into that room, kicking down the table, and
immediately thereupon drawing their swords, |
|
|
|
without provocation etc it was murder, not only in
him who gave the wound, but in those who |
|
|
|
aided and abetted him." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After a trial of eight hours, the jury found
Savage and Gregory guilty of murder, and Merchant |
|
|
|
guilty of manslaughter: in consequence of which
the latter was burnt in the hand and |
|
|
|
|
discharged. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On the 11th of December, 1727, Richard Savage and
James Gregory were brought to the bar, |
|
|
|
with other capital convicts, to receive sentence
of death............ |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It will scarcely be believed that, at this
critical juncture, the inhuman countess exerted all her |
|
|
|
influence to prejudice the queen against her
unhappy child, and to render unavailing every |
|
|
|
intercession that might be made to procure for him
the royal mercy: at length, however, the |
|
|
|
Countess of Hertford having laid an account of the
extraordinary story and sufferings of poor |
|
|
|
Savage before her majesty, a pardon was obtained
for him and his companion, and they were |
|
|
|
accordingly set at liberty on the 5th of March,
1728.' |

Was Savage an imposter? There are a number of
holes in Savage's story - for example he |
|
|
|
|
incorrectly states the name of his god-mother,
whom he claimed had cared for him as a boy. |
|
|
|
There is also no evidence that Anne was the cruel
and vindictive woman he claimed her to be, |
|
|
|
while there is evidence that she did in fact
provide for her illegitimate children. If Anne knew |
|
|
|
that Savage was indeed an imposter, she probably
would have acted in the manner described. |
|
|
|
A lengthy investigation into the case can be found
in the 6 November 1858 number of "Notes |
|
|
|
and Queries." |

Godfrey Bosville-Macdonald, 3rd Baron Macdonald
and 11th baronet, and the |
|
|
|
|
subsequent descent of the barony and baronetcy |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The circumstances of this peer's marriage provide
an interesting example of peerage law in |
|
|
|
relation to the differences in the law of
legitimacy between Scotland and other parts of the |
|
|
|
United Kingdom. |

In 1625, Donald Macdonald was created a baronet of
Nova Scotia. The baronetcy descended |
|
|
|
through the succeeding generations of the
Macdonald family until 1766, when Alexander |
|
|
|
|
Macdonald succeeded as the ninth baronet. This
baronet was created Baron Macdonald on |
|
|
|
25 July 1776, in the peerage of Ireland. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The peerage, together with the baronetcy, then
passed on the death of the 1st Baron in 1795 |
|
|
|
to his eldest son, Alexander Wentworth Macdonald,
who died unmarried on 19 June 1824. On |
|
|
|
his death, the peerage and baronetcy passed to
next oldest brother, Godfrey. This peer had |
|
|
|
previously inherited his uncle's estate, upon
which he changed his name by royal licence to |
|
|
|
Bosville in 1814. When he succeeded to the peerage
in 1824, he again changed his name to |
|
|
|
Bosville-Macdonald. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 1799, Godfrey went through a form of marriage
in Scotland with Louisa Maria La Coast, who |
|
|
|
was the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of
Gloucester by Lady Almeria Carpenter, daughter |
|
|
|
of the 1st Earl of Tyrconnel of the 1761 creation.
Godfrey and Louisa were again married, |
|
|
|
|
this time in a lawful ceremony on 29 December 1803
at Norwich. However, between the time |
|
|
|
of the 1799 'marriage' and the undoubtedly legal
marriage of 1803, three children had been |
|
|
|
born. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The fact that Godfrey and Louisa had been legally
married in 1803 had the effect, under |
|
|
|
|
present Scottish law, of
legitimating the three children born between the two marriages. |
|
|
|
However, under English law, and more importantly,
Irish law, given that the peerage was an |
|
|
|
Irish title, the marriage of 1803 had no effect
upon the children's status, and they were |
|
|
|
|
considered to be illegitimate. As a result, the
eldest son, Alexander, could legally succeed to |
|
|
|
the Scottish baronetcy but not to the Irish
peerage. Consequently, the barony of Macdonald |
|
|
|
was inherited by the eldest son who had been born after the marriage of 1803. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The reader will note that I have emphasised the
word "present" in the preceding paragraph. |
|
|
|
At the time of the Godfrey's death in 1832, the
view appears to have been taken that the |
|
|
|
eldest son of the 1799 'marriage' could not
inherit either the peerage or the baronetcy. |
|
|
|
|
Certainly, it is the case that reference to the
standard peerage works between 1832 and |
|
|
|
|
1910, including Burke, Dod, the Complete Peerage
(original edition) and the Complete |
|
|
|
|
Baronetage all show the baronetcy remaining
attached to the barony of Macdonald. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The eldest son of the 1799 'marriage' was
Alexander William Robert Bosville-Macdonald. He |
|
|
|
considered himself to be illegitimate and
therefore did not assume the baronetcy. On his |
|
|
|
|
death in 1847, he was 'succeeded' by his son,
Godfrey - he also did not assume the title. |
|
|
|
|
He died in 1865, and it was his son, Alexander,
who in September 1909, petitioned to have |
|
|
|
his grandfather declared legitimate by reason of
his parents' subsequent legal marriage |
|
|
|
|
in 1803. This petition was heard in the Scottish
Court of Session between December 1909 |
|
|
|
and June 1910, and on 4 June 1910 the Court of
Session declared the legitimacy of his |
|
|
|
|
grandfather, followed by a decree from Lord Lyon
on 30 June 1910, which was published in |
|
|
|
the Edinburgh Gazette on 1 July 1910. As a result,
it was held that Alexander had succeeded |
|
|
|
to the baronetcy in 1832, thus necessitating a
re-writing of the peerage reference works. |
