Lady Granville is the wife of Sir Maximus Granville and the grandmother of Isabella Granville. She is a proud woman, set in her ways and conservative in her values. She did not marry for love and has lived her life in the pursuit of duty. In that respect, she was a good wife for a member of the Granville family.
Her life has in many ways been sad. Her elder son, Tarquin, grew up a wastrel and then died young and her younger son, Aeneas was lost first by his unfortunate marriage and secondly by death. Having a black granddaughter has been a challenge to Lady Granville which she has dealt with stoically and by hoping that if she ignored the issue it would go away. A part of her would like to have loved Isabella, but she hardly knows how to go about it. In her own way, giving her presents and persuading Sir Maximus to provide her with a generous dowry and attempt a season, she has done as much as she can for her. Her first loyalty is always to the Granville name and reputation.
