Philip Stanhope, 2nd Earl of Chesterfield - Definition

Philip Stanhope, 2nd Earl of Chesterfield (1634-1714) inherited the title of Earl of Chesterfield upon his grandfather's death in 1656.

His first marriage was to Lady Anne Percy, daughter of the Earl of Northumberland. Following her death, a marriage had been arranged between him and Mary, daughter of 3rd Lord Fairfax. Despite the fact the banns had been read twice, Mary jilted Chesterfield for the 2nd Duke of Buckingham with whom she had fallen in love. Chesterfield subsequently married Elizabeth Butler, daughter of the 1st Duke of Ormonde.
