Philip Stanhope, 2nd Earl of Chesterfield
- Philip Stanhope, 2nd Earl of Chesterfield
Philip Stanhope, 2nd Earl of Chesterfield (1634 – January 28, 1714) was the son of Henry Stanhope, Lord Stanhope and his wife, Katherine. He inherited the title of Earl of Chesterfield upon his grandfather's death in 1656.
His first marriage was to Lady Anne Percy, daughter of the Earl of Northumberland. Following her death, a marriage had been arranged between him and Mary, daughter of the 3rd Lord Fairfax. Despite the fact the banns had been read twice, Mary jilted Chesterfield for the 2nd Duke of Buckingham with whom she had fallen in love. Chesterfield subsequently married Elizabeth Butler, daughter of James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde and his wife, Elizabeth. They had one daughter, but it is not certain that Chesterfield was the father.
According to Samuel Pepys, Chesterfield was a ladies' man, and had been one of the many lovers of Barbara Villiers, the most notorious mistress of King Charles II. His second wife, tired of his neglect, began flirting with the king's brother, the Duke of York, and also with James Hamilton.
Elizabeth died in 1665, and he married a third time, to Lady Elizabeth Dormer, who finally provided him with two sons.
