Marrying by the Numbers: Marriage Patterns of Aristocratic British Women, 1485-2000 By: Kimberly F. Schutte Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Dr. Katherine Clark Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey Dr. J.C.D. Clark Dr. Geraldo de Sousa Dr. Leslie Tuttle Date Defended: April 18, 2011 The Dissertation Committee for Kimberly F. Schutte certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Marrying by the Numbers: Marriage Patterns of Aristocratic British Women, 1485-2000 _________Katherine Clark_____ Chairperson Dr. Katherine Clark Date Approved: April 18, 2011 ii Abstract This project is a study of the marriage patterns of aristocratic British women over the more than five-century period between 1485 and 2000. It employs a two-fold evidentiary base, combining a demographic analysis with a more traditional analysis of primary sources such as letters, journals, and diaries. Together, the statistical and the written evidence provide a window into the intersection of marriage and rank among elite British women between the sixteenth and the twentieth centuries. As a result of this research, this dissertation argues that there was a remarkable level of consistency in rank identity among the British aristocracy despite great changes in government, religion, and society. iii Acknowledgements A project that has been a lifetime in the completion necessarily accumulates a number of debts, both professional and personal, debts that I gratefully acknowledge here. This work has been conducted under the painstaking guidance of my advisor, Dr. -

Wisdom 1 Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr. Derek Hirst, the William Eliot Smith Professor of History at Washington University, for his invaluable help in preparing this thesis. Without his assistance in outlining, editing, and locating research materials, this project could never have been completed. I have been in awe of Professor Hirst’s breadth of knowledge of the period since our first meeting, and I cannot imagine writing a thesis without him as my advisor. I also wish to thank my parents, Rod and Gail Wisdom, and my grandparents, Matt and Zelda Gambill and Clint Wisdom, for their financial support of my education. I would not be graduating from Washington University without them. Wisdom 2 A Note on the Names Several of the historical figures discussed had names that vary in spelling between texts. -
