Amalie Sophie Marianne von Wallmoden, Countess of Yarmouth, born Amalie von Wendt (1 April 1704 – 19 or 20 October 1765) was the principal mistress of King George II from the mid-1730s until his death in 1760.
In 1738 Count von Wallmoden and Amalie were quietly and conveniently divorced. George awarded him a pension of a reputed £4000 per annum for the rest of his life. He died in 1752. In 1740 Amalie was given the titles of Countess of Yarmouth and Baroness Yarmouth of Norfolk after she legally became a naturalised British citizen.
Lord Yarmouth was succeeded by his son, the second Earl. He notably served as Treasurer of the Household between 1687 and 1689. He had no surviving male issue and the titles became extinct on his death in 1732. The second creation came in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1740 in favour of Amalie von Wallmoden, mistress of George II.
In 1739, Amalie von Wallmoden divorced her husband. In 1740, she was naturalized and given the non-heritable title of Countess of Yarmouth, the last royal mistress to be so honoured. She was officially designated Amalie Sophie de Wallmoden to obscure the question of her marital status.
