Catherine FitzCharles
 | The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for biographies. (November 2017) |
Catherine FitzCharles (born 1658–1759) was the illegitimate daughter of
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]
