Lady Barbara FitzRoy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lady Barbara FitzRoy (16 July 1672 – 6 May 1737), was the sixth and youngest child of Barbara Palmer, 1st Duchess of Cleveland, a mistress of Charles II of England. Charles never publicly acknowledged her as his child, as he was probably not the father.[1] She became a Benedictine nun, known as Benedite.
