dressed in white with her face covered by a white mask and was described as "the white milliner". This episode was dramatised by Douglas Jerrold and performed at Covent Garden in 1841 under the title "The white Milliner: A Comedy in two Acts". Lady Tyrconnell returned to France and was then in 1693 indicted herself of high treason. After Queen Anne had acceded the throne in 1702, she and her stepdaughter, Charlotte Talbot, eventually recovered the lands due to them in 1703 by act of parliament — presumably through her sister Sarah's influence with the Queen. Eventually she retired to the Dominican Convent at Channel Row, Dublin, and lived there as a parlour boarder from 1723–1724. She then built a house on North King Street and obtained the permission to establish a Poor Clares convent in it. Death and timeline In 1731 Frances died in Dublin at the Poor Clares convent that she had founded. She was buried on 9 March in St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. She also funded a mass to be celebrated daily for ever at the chapel of the Scots College in Paris for the benefit of her soul and for those of both her husbands as can still be read on the memorial plaque affixed to the wall of this church (see photo). The Latin inscription translates into English as: To God, most good, most great. To the most illustrious and noble Lady Frances Jennings, Duchess of Tyrconnell, Lady-in-waiting of the Queen of Great Britain, benefactrice of this College, who founded a daily mass in this sanctuary to be celebrated for ever for her soul and those of Sir George Hamilton of Abercorn, knight her first husband, and Sir Richard Talbot, duke of Tyrconnell, Viceroy of Ireland, her second husband. She died on 17 March 1731. May she rest in peace. As the memorial plaque is in France, the text gives the date of her death according to the Gregorian calendar, which had been adopted in France in 1582 but would be adopted in England only in 1752. This new-style date of death (17 March 1731) differs from the old-style one usually found in English texts (6 March 1731).
