> was she the lady who got the first entry of the gypsies to these shores out by upwards of 60yrs No, I don't think so. In this article, she just says: "Gypsies, or Romany, are generally supposed not to have entered England and Scotland much earlier than 1500." That's in line with any other information I've every seen on the subject. Earlier on this thread, Mike Yates gave 1492 for the earliest record of Gypsies in Scotland. That's also "not much earlier than 1500". Is there anything earlier?
