Background I was taken away from my adoptive father at thirteen and placed in the Court of the Earl of Surrey at Farnham Castle. Apparently, I am a bastard of his born by my mother, the Lady Anne Forkes. After she knew of the pregnancy, she married her long term friend Henry Grifton the Lord of Hemmington, a small fiefdom in the county of Pembrokeshire. He has always treated me as his own daughter. I never learned of the Earl before my thirteenth birthday. No matter what anyone says, Lord Hemmington and none other. However, I am treated as an equal to my Lord Surrey’s son Thomas. As soon as I was taken to Farnham, I was taught the skills any high born lady must. My education had greatly improved from the one I received at Hemmington. Within three months at the Earl’s Court, I was betrothed to the eighteen year old Edmund, the Earl of Alnwick on August 1, 1466. Never meeting my betrothed, our wedding was set to June 13, 1471. Shortly after I had finished my studies, my Lord Surrey sent me to the Court of the Duke of Brittany to act as a spy against Henry and represent well the Howard family, despite my relations to the Earl. Though the Earl is currently sided with King Edward IV, my loyalties lie with Henry Tudor. My mother had been a maid of honor to his mother, the Countess of Richmond, Lady Margaret Beaufort of whom I have been named after. Due to the fact that my mother was a favorite lady to the Countess and Pembroke Castle and Hemmington Castle are close, often as little children, Henry and I played together
