Research Notes
He m. his wife Sophia in 1658 and they were still married when he died in 1698. His profile has two other spouses who have been removed.
The first Klara Von Meysenburg, who was not his wife but was acknowledged to be the mother of his illegitimate child Charlotte, Countess of Darlington.
The second, Paleotti Bologna, also had an illegitmate child Laura who I can't find any documentation for either one.
