520    The illegitimate daughter of a captain in the Royal Navy 
       and an enslaved African woman, Dido Belle was sent to live
       with her great-uncle, the Earl of Mansfield, one of the 
       most powerful men of the time and a leading opponent of 
       slavery. Growing up in his lavish estate, Dido was raised 
       as a sister and companion to her white cousin, Elizabeth. 
       When a joint portrait of the girls, commissioned by 
       Mansfield, was unveiled, eighteenth-century England was 
       shocked to see a black woman and white woman depicted as 
       equals.
