LORD DALKEITH'S REEL [1]. English, Reel. Sancho was a former slave who became emancipated and found advancement and patronage from the wealthy Montagu family, serving Lady Mary Churchill, Duchess of Monagu, as a butler, and later as valet to her son-in-law, George Brudenell, 4th Earl of Cardigan. Sancho published four collections of minuets, country dances and songs in the second half of the 18th century.
