I was born the first and only child of Henry Bourchier, 2nd Earl of Essex, 6th Baron Bourchier, 2nd Count of Eu, and Mary Say. As I was the child of the last Earl of Essex, as well as the contingent heiress of the Countess of Oxford, I am one of the wealthiest heiresses in England. At sixteen, I married William Parr due to his most determined mother. We only met on our wedding day. Neither of our families would hear of our objections to marry someone we did not know. A year later, my father died and I became suo jure 7th Baroness Bourchier and William became 1st Baron Parr of Kendal. In that, I am also the 1st Baroness Parr of Kendall.

Our marriage has not been a happy one. We were married only because his mother wished for him to have my titles and my wealth. We have nothing in common; I want a life in the country and he wishes for one at court. I do not understand his ambitions this way and I am not sure I want to. I don't think there is anything grand or wonderful about it, but William insists it's the life he wants. I think this is why he grew tired of me. Alas, I am certain this isn't the true reason our marriage is the way it is.

We had one child, but he died before he even saw his first year. After that, we did everything we could to stay apart; he extended his time at court and we decided on separate bedrooms when he was home. I began to seek comfort in John Lyngfield, the prior. I hadn't been treated the way he treated me as William gave no second thought to me. I was the one who tried to hold him back. I was the one who was so stubborn. I was the one who made our marriage difficult. John didn't see me as a silly woman; he told me there was nothing wrong with desiring a simpler life. He said that William should respect my wishes and try to be home more.

There was once a suggestion that I go to court to try it out, but I left in a storm. I hadn't wanted him to say anything in favor of my husband. That night I realized how I felt and wasn't sure whether or not to be disgusted with myself. I didn't want to be an adultress. It was the last thing on my mind, but I needed to be happy. I desired it above all else. I know I am a selfish woman and I have embraced it.

I know my feelings grew before John's did, but soon we could not bear to be apart. Eventually, I was with child and I moved out of the home I shared with William as soon as I had given birth to little Mary. Our affair was no longer a secret to anyone. Sure enough, William discovered it and has asked for an annulment. I have left my child with her father, hoping to protect what is mine. I don't want any of my children to be claimed as illegitimate and I don't wish for William to take my titles and wealth away. Perhaps he is angry that I have found happiness where he has only found the odd dalliance at court. But for whatever reason, I must protect myself, my child and any future children I might have. William Parr will not take away what is truly mine.
