Van wie was Augusta van Hannover?

Augusta Sophia van Hannover (Buckingham House, 8 november 1768 — Clarence House, 22 september 1840) was het zesde kind en de tweede dochter van George III van het Verenigd Koninkrijk en van Charlotte van Mecklenburg-Strelitz.

Zij werd geboren te Buckingham House (Buckingham Palace), Londen. Zij bleef ongehuwd en was Prinses van het Verenigd Koninkrijk, Ierland en Hannover. Augusta had muzikaal talent en componeerde in 1791 de mars Royal Windsor voor de militaire muziekkapel van het 29e Regiment (Worcestershire) dat gestationeerd was op Windsor.

Ze stierf in Clarence House, St. James, Londen en werd begraven in de St. George's Kapel te Windsor.

General Sir Brent Spencer (c. 1760 – 29 December 1828) was an Anglo-Irish officer in the British Army, seeing active service during the American Revolutionary War and the French Revolutionary Wars. During the Peninsular War he became General Wellesley's second-in-command on two occasions. He fought at Vimeiro and testified in Wellesley's favour at the inquiry following the Convention of Cintra. He led a division at Bussaco and two divisions at Fuentes de Onoro. After the latter action, he had an independent command in northern Portugal. Wellesley, now Lord Wellington, was not satisfied that Spencer was up to the responsibilities of second-in-command and he was replaced by Thomas Graham. Miffed, Spencer left Portugal and never returned. He became a full general in 1825.

He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sligo Borough from 1815 to 1818.
