Lists of Women at Court

(last updated August 2010)

The following lists were compiled to help keep the “cast of thousands” in Kate Emerson’s historical novels straight. They are taken from a variety of sources, including a great number of biographies. Of particular use were Janet Arnold’s Queen Elizabeth’s Wardrobe Unlock’d, Barbara Harris’s English Aristocratic Women, Maria Hayward’s Dress at the Court of Henry VIII, Neville Williams’s Henry VIII and His Court, and Violet Wilson’s Queen Elizabeth’s Maids of Honor and Ladies of the Privy Chamber.

All individuals marked with an * have entries under their maiden names in Kathy Lynn Emerson’s Who’s Who of Tudor Women, as do some individuals whose names are not marked.
