Attending church Sunday 1 December 1667 at St Olave, Hart St, Pepys finds "in our [Navy Office] pew there sat a great lady, which I afterwards understood to be my Lady Carlisle, that made her husband a cuckold in Scotland, a very fine woman indeed in person." In 1663 her husband, Charles Howard, 1sy Earl of Carlisle, had been appointed ambassador to Russia, Sweden and Denmark, where he was for extended periods on diplomatic missions. Carlisle was on the border of Scotland and was sometimes occupied by the Scots, so thought of as "in Scotland." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car…
