Marie Collings (1791–1853) was Dame of Sark from 1852 to 1853. She was the daughter of John Allaire, a privateer from Guernsey. In 1844, desperate for funds to continue the operation of the silver mine on the island, then-Seigneur of Sark Ernest le Pelley had obtained crown permission to mortgage the Fief of Sark for £4,000 to Allaire. Following the closure of the mine in 1847, Le Pelley's heir, Pierre Carey le Pelley was unable to keep up his mortgage payments and was forced to sell the seigneurie of Sark to Collings, Allaire's heiress, for £6,000.

“It was not sufficient for the disquiet of our minds that we disputed at the end of seventeen hundred years upon the articles of our own religion, but we must likewise introduce into our quarrels those of the Chinese. This dispute, however, was not productive of any great disturbances, but it served more than any other to characterize that busy, contentious, and jarring spirit which prevails in our climates.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“Columbus’s doom-burdened caravels
Slant to the shore, and all their seamen land.”
