High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hugh Percy, 1st Duke of Northumberland, KG, PC (c. 1714 6 June 1786) was the son of Langdale Smithson. The Duke was born with the name Hugh Smithson but changed the family surname to Percy when he married Elizabeth Seymour, daughter of Algernon Seymour, 7th Duke of Somerset, on 16 July 1740. She was Baroness Percy in her own right, and indirect heiress of the Percy family, which was one of the leading landowning families of England, and had previously held the Earldom of Northumberland for several centuries. The title, Earl of Northumberland passed to Hugh Percy, as Elizabeth's husband, when her father died. In 1766, the earl was created 1st Duke of Northumberland and was created Baron Lovaine on 28 June 1784, with a special remainder in favour of his younger son, Algernon. He was created a Knight of the Order of the Garter (K.G.) in 1756 and a Privy Counsellor in 1762. Sir Hugh was one of the most important patrons of Canaletto in England. The other great patron Lord Brooke (Earl of Warwick, fourth creation), of Warwick Castle was a quasi-brother-in-law.
