Lot Essay

Lady Jane Paget, née Champagné was the daughter of the Very Rev. Arthur Champagné and Marianne Hamon. She married, in 1767, Henry Paget, 1st Earl of Uxbridge and was styled Lady Paget of Beaudesert and later as Countess of Uxbridge. She was the mother of Sir Arthur Paget (1771-1840), whom the young Lord FitzRoy Somerset accompanied on his first diplomatic mission to the Ottoman Empire in 1807, aged just nineteen. Paget wrote of Somerset 'He is a most excellent Lad -- I have the sincerest Regard for him' (J. Sweetman, Raglan: From the Peninsula to the Crimea, 1993, p. 19).
