- Elizabeth Percy, Duchess of Northumberland
Elizabeth Percy, "née" Seymour, Duchess of Northumberland and 2nd Baroness Percy (26 November 1716 – 5 December 1776) was a British peeress.
Elizabeth was the only daughter of the 7th Duke of Somerset and his wife, Frances. On 16 July 1740, she married Sir Hugh Smithson, Bt and they had two sons, Hugh (1742-1817) and Algernon (1750-1830). On her father's death in 1750, she inherited his barony of Percy and her husband inherited his earldom of Northumberland by special remainder and changed the family name to Percy that year.
In 1761, she became a Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Charlotte, a post she held until 1770. She became a duchess in 1766 when her husband was elevated as Duke of Northumberland and on her death in 1776, her barony passed to her eldest son, Hugh, who inherited his father's dukedom ten years later.
