Henrietta d'Auverquerque, Countess of Grantham


Henrietta d'Auverquerque, Countess of Grantham, formerly Lady Henrietta Butler, was an English noblewoman and the wife of Henry de Nassau d'Auverquerque, 1st Earl of Grantham.
Henrietta was the youngest daughter of Thomas Butler, 6th Earl of Ossory, and a sister of James Butler, 2nd Duke of Ormonde, a well-known Jacobite nobleman. Her mother, Emilia, was a Dutch noblewoman; Henrietta was thus a first cousin of her husband, whose father was Emilia's brother. They were married on 12 January 1697.
Of the couple's five children, only two daughters survived into adulthood:
From 1718 until her death in 1724, the countess was a Lady of the Bedchamber to Caroline of Ansbach, then Princess of Wales.
