Notities over Catherine DARNLEY

Catherine Darnley was the illegitimate daughter of James II by Catherine Sedley and she always insisted on being treated with royal state. (Her infant brother James was buried in Henry VII's chapel "in the middle between the stalls" on 26th April 1685). She was married firstly to the Earl of Anglesey and married John Sheffield at St Martin in the Fields church in London in 1706. Her ladies were made to promise that if she should become insensbile at the last they would stand up in her presence until she was actually dead.

She was buried in the Abbey on 8th April 1743 aged 61. A wax effigy which had been made in her lifetime and dressed under her supervision in coronation robes, was carried at her funeral and stood by her grave. Later this was moved to the upper Islip chapel, after the last war to the Abbey Museum (now closed), and recently to The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries. This is 5 feet 9 inches high and the face is intended as a portrait. Alongside her is the small wax effigy of her son Robert, Marquis of Normanby, dressed in clothes thought to have belonged to him. This is 3 feet 3 inches high. By his figure is a small painted wooden unicorn, one of the supporters on the family coat of arms.
