This was the lady of the castle in 1484, during the reign of Richard III. Whilst her husband faught for the king, she had control and responsibility for the food and the servants and would have ensured that her children were taught to read and write and have good manners. In todays re-enactment she was displaying the remarkable skill of needlework. Re-enactment or not, this is lady de la Fontaine; not the one from 1484 but the same family line.
