Broughton descended from the Broughton baronets, as a granddaughter of the 8th baronet. She was a niece of Sheridan le Fanu, who helped her to start her literary career. She was a long-time friend of fellow writer Henry James and was noted for her adversarial relationship with both Lewis Carroll and Oscar Wilde.

Richard Williams Morgan
Richard Williams Morgan (1815–1889), also known by his bardic name Môr Meirion, was a Welsh Anglican priest, Welsh nationalist, campaigner for the use of the Welsh language and author. Morgan's outspoken criticism of English bishops in Wales who could not speak Welsh led him into conflict with the authorities of the Church of England. He supported the Celtic revival movement, and in 1858 helped organise an eisteddfod at Llangollen. In books on the history of the Welsh and the origins of Christianity in Wales, he traced the ancestry of the Welsh people back to Japheth, son of Noah, and claimed that the apostle Paul had converted the people of Britain to Christianity; thus, he claimed, the British Church was as old as the Church of Rome, and had never owed allegiance to the Pope. In the 1870s, Morgan became involved in the establishment of a new church, the "British Church" (later to be known as the "Ancient British Church" and perhaps envisaged as the restoration of the origina ...
