Interesting choice. Perhaps it is her, or perhaps it is not her.
Not her, but good guess 😂
All interesting options! Who knows!
I will take that wager and let you know if you are right.
Not Jane I am afraid. But it could be one of her sisters.
Bessie has already been in the story earlier. She was the mistress of Prince Richard and has a illegitimate daughter, Anne Fritzroy. So not her. I'm not to sure if Richard would be quite so amused if his old flame started to make advances on his younger brother.
Anne Bray was born in 1501 and John was born in 1507. I hardly think he will call a woman in her midst 20s as a delicate girl and regardless she is probably married right now.
DAMN ITWe are so back again, (don't tell blueflowwer that she didn't thread mark her chapter shhhhhhh its top secret classified info
Unless I missed something Anne de Laval is a Frenchwoman who has no reason at all for being in Naples or Italy
She was a descendant of Frederick of Naples I belive? The daughter of Charlotte of Naples I think. So she never made it to France given that her father never inherited the throne of Naples and France never brothered them. But given that the whole Italian Wars never started in the first place, she was probably butterflied out of existence.
Charlotte of Naples was born and lived all her life in France, as ward of her royal relatives (her late mother, Anne of Savoy, was double first cousin of Anne de Beaujeu and Charles VIII) and that would not change. Still her OTL marriage to Laval was arranged by Anne of Brittany after her marriage to Louis XII (Laval, one of teh most important Breton nobles, was close to Anne and one of her relatives) meaning who her daughters are most likely butterflied
Ah. Thank you so much for the information. I must have misunderstood the whole thing. But no, it's not Anne de Laval regardless.
I'm afraid not. But it was a really good guess! Keep them coming!
You are not! And we haven't seen the Howards in a while, so it might be one of their girls, who knows!
I recall you saying it wasn't Jane, though it could be one of her sisters like Elizabeth Seymour, maybe a Stanley Girl?
It could be a Stanley girl. Since they stayed loyal to Richard III they sure would be at court. But it's not a Seymour girl.
It would be fun to bring in a Parr girl into the story. We haven't seen them yet.
Calthorpe sounds like a hoot to deal with!
I'm not a Brandon fan, so not here. And given that the Tudor never rose to power, I don't see Charles Brandon became a thing a court.
She could be! Otl she was born in 1521 so she would be about seven years old in this chapter, but perhaps she was born a few years earlier in this TL.
