Today Sharon gave us a list of women that were ladies in waiting to Queen Elizabeth and we had to choose one and create a back story for them. There were nine in total and we were told a brief amount of information about each one.
- Katherine Swynford - Married a knight
- Anne Russell - Married Ambrose Dudley. Robert Dudley's brother
- Lettice Knollys - Had an affair with Robert Dudley
- Elizabeth Throckmorton - Married Sir Walter Raleigh
- Elizabeth Brydges - Was included in the Queens Funeral
- Blanch Perry - Gentlewoman of the Bedchamber
- Anne Vavasour - Mistress of the Earl of Oxford
- Bess of Hardwick - Married four times. Second most powerful woman in the country.
So after learning a small amount of each lady, there was two that I was deciding between. The first was Lettice Knollys. What I liked about Knollys was the fact that she had an affair with the Queens lover and I wanted to know how and what happened after. The second was Anne Vavasour. I liked the sound of her as she seemed like the kind of person that caused a small amount of trouble wherever she went. I also thought she sounded quite scandalous which would have been an interesting thing to try and portray.
Which one did I choose? You'll just have to wait and see!
