70) Elizabeth Seymour, Duchess of Somerset
Elizabeth
Seymour, Duchess of Somerset (1667 - 1722). English heiress. She was
one of the closest personal friends of Queen Anne, which led Jonathan
Swift to direct at her one of his sharpest satires, The Windsor Prophecy,
in which she was named "Carrots." (a common nickname derived from the
Duchess' red hair).
