Catherine FitzCharles (born 1658–1759) was the illegitimate daughter of Charles II of England and his mistress Catherine Pegge. [1] Her older brother by one year, Charles FitzCharles, was made the 1st Earl of Plymouth by his father. [2] Little is known about Catherine's life, but she is thought to have become a Benedictine nun at Dunkirk Abbey in Dunkirk, France, like many other highborn Englishwomen during the reign of Charles II. [3] She is believed to have resided there under the religious name, Sister Ophelia, until her death in 1759 at the impressive age of 101. [4] [5] However, the shockingly small amount of information available about Catherine FitzCharles leads some to conclude that Catherine died in infancy or early childhood instead. [6]
