Virtue alone is invincible.

While I was building Isabel's Wikipedia page, I learned an awful lot about her real life husband Sir Edward Baynton (Sometimes spelled Bayntun), who was Vice-Chamberlain to all of Henry VIII's Queens except for Catherine of Aragon (but she was a very good friend of him, even rebuilding a gate tower for him that still stands today). He'd be about thirty two in 1511, but age is flexible. Baynton is described as someone who shared some of Anne's religious opinions, but he was essentially a career courtier, serving as vice-chamberlain to all Henry VIII's later wives, so he could possibly have an interest in the heresy plot, but would ultimately be very loyal to Henry VIII. Despite being nothing more than a knight, he owned a considerable amount of land and manors and was held in very high favor by His Majesty. Here is his biography from the Tudor Place and here is his Wikipedia page. In game, Isabel mentioned that there were marriage negotiations between he and her when she was sixteen, but they never came to fruition and she was sent to the Countess de Lisle's. He doesn't have to marry Isabel at all, I'd much rather he didn't. I thought that someone might like to play him as he seemed to be very wealthy and be in very great favor with the King.
