Seymour, Lady Worsley

A wealthy and desirable heiress, Seymour Dorothy Fleming married Sir Richard Worsley in 1775 but eloped with her lover, Captain Bisset, six years later.

When Sir Richard brought a suit of criminal converstion (or adultery) against Bisset, Lady Worsley hatched an audacious plan that would turn the case on its head, put her reputation in jeopardy… and cause a national scandal.
