• Notes

  Rutland never married. He had cherished a passion for Mary Anne Ricketts, later Lady Forester, but his father forbade the two to marry. He was also devoted to Lady Miles, wife of Sir Philip Miles, and scandalised society by leaving her his 120 ft yacht, Lufra, in his will. He was succeeded in the dukedom by his brother John. He owned 70,000 acres with most 30,000 acres in Leicester, 27,000 acres in Derby and 6,500 acres in Cambridge
