Página 332 - The Count and Countess of Albany (such was the title they bore)' lived together during several years at Florence, a harsh husband and a faithless wife ; until at length, in 1780, weary of constraint, she eloped with her lover Alfieri. Thus left alone in his old age, Charles called to his house his daughter by Miss Walkinshaw, and created her Duchess of Albany, through the last exercise of an expiring prerogative. She was born about 1760, and survived her father only one year.
