  Richard Howe, 1st Earl Howe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was born in London, the second son of Emmanuel Scrope Howe, 2nd Viscount Howe, who died governor of Barbados in March 1735, and of Mary Sophia Charlotte, a daughter of Baroness Kilmansegge, afterwards Countess of Darlington, the mistress of King George I--a relationship which does much to explain his early rise in the navy.
