She was also known as Barbara Palmer; Lady Castelmaine; Countess of Castelmaine; Duchess of Cleveland. She converted to Catholicism from Anglicanism. Charles met her just before the Restoration in 1660; she was 19 years old. She was already married to Roger Palmer who was happy to trade her for the title of Earl of Castlemaine. Although a great beauty with a wistful expression she had an evil temper and it was a wonder that the King tolerated her hectoring ways and notorious amours for 6 years. She is described as "the lewdest as well as the fairest of King Charles' concubines."  She had 6 children, 5 of whom King Charles legally acknowledged while admitting that the odds were against the likelihood that they were all his own. She was a termagant (violent, quarreling, scolding woman). Charles was little concerned over her infidelities but mocked them. When she took up with the handsome John Churchill, the future Duke of Marlborough, and Charles found them together in Barbara's apartments, he said to Churchill, 'Go, you are a rascal, but I forgive you because you do it to get a living.' Lady Castelmaine could not stand the King's sarcasm. She told him once that it very ill became him to reproach the one woman in England who least deserved it; that he never ceased to pick quarrels with her since his low tastes had first declared themselves; that to gratify his base desires he needed only stupid geese like Stuart and Wells and that little slut of an actress [Nell Gwyn] he had recently taken up with. Floods of angry tears accompanied these storms; after which, taking on the part of Medea, 'she would close the scene by threatening to massacre her children and burn the palace over his head'.  Her great mistake was to insult Queen Catherine. This was something that Charles, who was genuinely fond of his wife, would not tolerate. With his usual generosity he pensioned her off and created her Duchess of Cleveland.
