The cult series "The Game of Thrones" is familiar to many fans of fantasy film, but not everyone knows that in one of the films there is an event that happened in fact, in the distant XV century. This is a scene with the "redemption of sins", during which Sersa Lannister was supposed to pass naked in front of the numerous crowd.
Something similar in his life experienced the beauty of Jane Shore, who was the favorite of the king Edward IV. The story of this woman could have completed the tragedy at all, but she managed to avoid the terrible punishment. What is the fate of the fate of Jane Shor? And for what sins did she have to be subjected to a public shamer?
Childhood Jane
This name Jane Shor is Elizabeth Lambert. She was born in 1445 in the family of a wealthy merchant. What is interesting, "Jane Shore" is not a pseudonym, who, as you might think, decided to take a girl, not a nickname, and the fictional name version created by the mood of the playwright of Thomas Hayevud, who was working in the XVIII century. Interestingly, this name of the name has loved the people anymore (obviously, for its simplicity), and therefore soon the real name and surname Jane were forgotten.
The shop of John Lambert was often unreliable guests. Sociable babe that almost all his free time spent behind the counter, studying local morals, loved to talk with visitors. So she did not just recognize people, but adopted many manners, an amazing way to the merchant daughter managed to acquire the skills and bases of behavior that the highest light was known.
In my opinion, Jane was a fairly artistic girl, and further imitation turned into its individual style and manners. Contemporaries noted that the matured Jane was distinguished by the living mind and the ability to communicate with a variety of topics. The familiar her father emphasized that the formation of the girl was significantly better than her peers.
In addition, it was impossible not to note the external attractiveness of Jane. Many young people admired delicate white leather, soft features of the face and a graceful profile of a girl. Later, she will even give the nickname "Rosa London", which eloquently speaks about the pretty and charm of the young person.
Enviable bride
Cora Sofield in his work dedicated to the life of Eduard IV notes that not only the external data of Jane Shore so attracted men of many different origin and age. The girl was smart, witty, had a good temper and was distinguished by dumplings towards people.Among the fans, Jane had a lot of high-ranking faces. Perhaps the most striking representative among them should be called William Hastings, the English commander. He was without a memory in love with a beauty, and in the future the rest of his life was given to her.
Jane's father is not worse than his daughter aware of what a strong impression is produced by the beauty and talents of the girl. And if with a different scenario, he would not show excessive intelligibility (after all, Jane's family did not belong to the privileged class), then in this case Lambert decided to choose the most successful among the grooms.
As a son-in-law, he saw William Shura. He was a succeeding banker, he was engaged in jewelry, and also often visited Jane's father. William was older than the bride for 15 years, but this difference Lambert was not embarrassed.
Divorce and novel with a monarch
Alas, marriage for Jane was far from family idyll. Despite its positive qualities and external attractiveness, William Shore could not have children. After a couple of years of marriage, his young spouse filed for a divorce.
Of course, no feelings from Jane could have to go speech - she chose her husband, but her father. By decision of the Pope, three priests were to consider the petition of Jane Shore. Following the case, the request of a woman was satisfied.
Meeting with King Edward IV occurred in 1476. What it was, it is impossible to say, because there was not the slightest mention. Probably, Jane, by the time the divorce that has already received a divorce, has time to enter the highest light and has become one of the most enviable beauties-brides, often appeared at the courtyard. The king just returned from France, and soon after his acquaintance with Jane, he had already made her favorite.
Eduard IV relations with Jane Shore differed significantly from his former connections. The king appreciated this woman not only as a mistress, but also as a friend. Often he asked her opinion on this or that matter, discussed important things with her. Jane, in turn, possessed significant power, but never used it for his own benefit.
Moreover, she sought to reconcile Eduard with those who were devoted to the king, but was rejected by him. Monarch said that Jane is one of the three Favoritsa, which was "the most fun, the most cunning and saints of the clouds." Their relationship lasted until the death of the king.
Repentance Jane Shor.
After the death of Edward IV and a very suspicious (and suspicious) death of his son in the English throne risks Richard III. He Jane Shor seemed a very ambiguous person. She and a number of persons close to it were accused of conspiracy.
The monarch himself argued that Jane uses witchcraft conspiracy, which provokes the development of a scoliosis. A woman would certainly execute, but the evidence of the conspiracy was not found. Then Jane Shor was sentenced to "the atonement of sins." In one Kirtle (detail of the underwear) and a lit-up wax candle, she had to go through the streets of London.
After the public repentance, Jane Shore was sharpened in the lady. However, she managed to charm Royal lawyer Thomas Lainea, which married Beauty - on the very king himself. The status of a lawyer's wife helped Jane return freedom, and she spent the rest of his days in the bourgeois silence.
In 1527, she left life, however, and shortly before the death of the contemporaries of this woman, they celebrated its incomparable beauty, which was still visible on its election wrinkle.
