@Nancy, I love that cover too. It’s Rakes and Radishes, now Secrets of a Lord, which I like better.

[...] Review: Mistress of Charlecote – The Memoirs of Mary Elizabeth Lucy Posted on April 22, 2013 by Susanna Several years ago, I was browsing through a research book – the title now escapes me – when I followed a tiny bibliographic note to a memoir titled Mistress of Charlecote – The Memoirs of Mary Elizabeth Lucy.

There was a Lord Beerhaven who was born in November of 1800 so would have still been 22 in most of 1823. He was a viscount. who didn’t marry until 1836 He was heir to the Earl of Bantry.
Many of the possibles were married before 1823 or were too young..
Reading Debrett came across a child of 6 who became a marquess. Two others also became peers at young age.

Thanks @Ella! Nancy and Jen P have had no luck trying to figure out the identities of the Lord Bs. Might not be reality after all…
