Notes for MARIA CONSUELO IZNAGA CLEMENT
8th DUCHESS OF MANCHESTER
La famosa heredera norteamericana Consuelo Vanderbilt, que despu�s fuera la duquesa de Marlborough, recibi� el nombre de Consuelo porque la mejor amiga de su madre, Alva Vanderbilt, era la famosa �socialit� Consuelo Iznaga Clement, vizcondesa por su casamiento con el vizconde de Mandeville, Sir George Victor Drogo Montagu. Consuelo Iznaga Clement era hija de un acaudalado cubano de Sancti Spiritus, llamado Antonio Modesto Iznaga del Valle. Durante la guerra de independencia entre Cuba y Espa�a, Antonio se fue a radicar a Estados Unidos donde se cas� e inici� una familia, bautizando a su hija con un nombre hispano.
Yznaga Avenue in Newport, RI is named after her.
Consuelo Iznaga was a beautiful Southern Belle who met a Duke who promised the world, but gave her nothing but heartache and pain. She was an idealist and a woman who flout convention during her lifetime. She was born in Louisiana in the late 1840s. She was the daughter of Don Antonio Iznaga, who came to America from Cuba. Her mother was a beautiful woman from upstate New York. They made their home in Louisiana replete with slaves and servants and a plantation. Her mother also flouted convention by showing her legs and smoke cigars.Consuelo received a continental education, for she had gone to Paris to be finished at the court of Eugenie de Montijo, also a beautiful woman of American and Spanish ancestry. She came back to America in the late 1860s after the upheaval in France. While her father was prospering, she was almost disgraced at a party when she didn't dress appropriately for the occasion. Sometime in mid 1870s, she had met the future Duke of Manchester at a resort in Upstate New York. A few months later, they were married. Among the bridal attendants was her friend, Alva Eskine Smith (Vanderbilt) whose daughter, Consuelo, married well into the British Aristocracy. Consuelo and the Duke had three children, twin daughters and an heir. Her husband was a philanderer and a big spender who was often in debt.
Consuelo Iznaga's life has been a mystery to many because so few people knew about her life as a bohemian Southern Belle who became an English duchess at the turn of the century. She had been immortalized by American writer Edith Wharton as Conchita Closson, a very exotic young woman of Brazilian origin. She also received props from Canadian writer Marian Fowler, who did an extensive biography on her in her 1994 book, "A Gilded Cage." It's about time to give Consuelo her due. This biography is about this remarkable lady from Louisiana who met a handsome English duke in New York and eventually married him. Her life with him in England is not a fairy tale but she made a most out of it, for she became a famous society host in her own right. __Miss Maria Consuelo Iznaga Clement was born in the plantation of Ravenswood, Louisiana in the year 1858, three years before the war between the states. She's the third child of Antonio Modesto Iznaga Del Valle and Ellen Clement . Her father immigrated from Cuba and have connections to several Spanish aristocratic houses. . Her mother hailed from Upstate New York. Her mother came from an old New England family. Antonio and Ellen had four children. They made Ravenswood and New York City their homes. For all their connections, New York society refused to accept them as their own.
