Charles’ brother, James, Duke of York, had two sons and a daughter in the 1660s with his mistress, Arabella Churchill, the sister of John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough. He had other longstanding affairs, including Lady Southesk, Frances ‘La Belle Jennings’ - sister of the Duchess of Marlborough - and Catherine Sedley. Yet he was also devoted to his strong, stout wife, Anne. When Pepys saw the Yorks together in 1663, he winced at their 'impertinent and, methought, unnatural dalliances.’ They were far too physical than was decent for man and wife, 'before the whole world, such as kissing of hands and leaning on one another.’
