The wife of an Oxfordshire squire, when the court moved to Oxford in 1642, at the start of the Civil War, she helped the royalist cause by spying for the king, and smuggling gold (perhaps as much as 1,000 kg) to help pay for his army.When Charles was held captive by the Parliamentarians, from 1646 to 1649, she organiszed money, correspondence, several escape attempts, astrological advice and a ship for him. New evidence even suggests that they may have had a brief affair.
