Elise | Lyr Req: When Celia was Learning (20) | RE: Lyr Req: When Celia was Learning | 02 Aug 00 |
The lady in questions name, I believe, was Throckmorton. I'm pretty sure, since she was single, she was a maid of honor and not a lady in waiting. The affair was scandalous for two reasons: First, because the queen was responsible for the conduct and virtue of her maids of honor while they were at court, and second because the queen herself was pretty darn fond of Raleigh. I'm dubious as to whether Bess was indeed the damsel in question, but who knows? |
