[align=center]![]() Elizabeth Caplet ![]() * You Hit My Once I Hit You Back, You Gave A Kick I Gave A Slap, You Smashed A Plate Over My Head And I Set Fire To Our Bed. . HEY THERE. THE NAME IS Annie, AND I AM 17. I'VE BEEN ROLEPLAYING FOR ABOUT 6 years AND MY OTHER CHARACTERS WOULD BE None. I FOUND FKAC AT RPG Directory. OH, BY THE WAY, I READ THE RULES. WANT PROOF? THE CODE WORD IS Pumpernickel WANT TO REACH ME? HERE'S MY IM: horses05@aol.com [/align]Elizabeth Caplet , Dowager Marchioness of Winchester Elizabeth Caplet was a spoiled child from the beginning. She was the only only child out of William Capel, lord mayor and his wife. After she was born, complications arose where her mother could no longer reproduce, so, she was the pride and joy of her mother and father. As she grew, her parents focused greatly on giving her an optimal education for a woman. As she entered teenager-dom, her parent's eyes settled on marrying her to a respectable man who would be able to take care of her. Luckily, a man's eyes were already set on her, the eyes of Elizabeth Caplet , Marquess of Winchester. She was 16 when she was married to William Paulet and became Marchioness of Winchester. On the outside, Paulet was a respectable man and Eleanor was elated to marry such a fine man. But, after the initial wedding bliss wore off, she began to see how wrong she was. It turned out that William Paulet, nearly twice her age at 30 years old, he had been married twice before, but both woman had since passed away. She also quickly picked up on his penchant for going out at night and returning drunk, where she was helpless against his drunken acts. She became pregnant less than a year into the marriage, though stormy nights when her husband would return home drunk would end in fights which stressed Elizabeth to the point of a miscarriage three months into the pregnancy. This would happen twice more until Elizabeth finally broke free. She was 18 years old when her husband contracted an illness and passed away. The new Dowager Marchioness was finally rid of a husband she had fallen out of love with. With a newfound freedom, Elizabeth Caplet embraced everything that came her way. She found that she loved to have a good time, and returned to doing things that William Paulet had long since denied her of doing. She went horseback riding everyday for hours and took up falconry and archery. Though, soon, the pull of court life called her and she found herself longing for the hustle and bustle of the king and queen's court. So, a year after her husband's death at the age of 19, Eleanor Alger Marchioness of Winchester entered King Henry VIII's court to serve as a lady-in-waiting to the queen. |

Hello! There are a few little problems with this app. Once they're fixed you can go on through! a) She cannot be the daughter of a Duke. There are only 4 in existence at this point in England. I would say make her the daughter of a baron or some other lowly peer where the peerage cannot pass through the female line (because most of them didn't). Eleanor would not learn how to fight with swords. That was a man's thing. Falconry is fine; archery is pushing it. She can't do all this stuff guys do.c) Upon her husband's death, she would be Dowager Marchioness. The title would be inherited by siblings or cousins, not given to Eleanor upon his death. She would have some money, but that's about it. As a woman her main goal would to get married again considering that's pretty much all that noblewomen did; serve the Queen or a Princess as a lady in waiting while you waited to get married. d) She absolutely would not have a man's education. Men and women were educated differently, as well as men learning things women wouldn't like how to joust, fight, etc. She would learn how to read and write, sew, be a good and entertaining hostess, and basic theological stuff like her Catchecism. We have a thread up about education in the Tudor Handbook. e) The Marquessate of Winchester was in the Paulet family, so I'd change her name, just for the sake of historical accuracy, though you don't have to. Thanks! |

Okay, that's all fixed! I changed her last name to Paulet, but I can't figure out how to change the title of the thread, so that's still the original name. XD. |
