page ii              Frances Newton seated, her sister standing should be Frances Newton standing, her sister (Johanna Newton) seated, although a recent biography (Susan E. James's Kateryn Parr: The Making of a Queen) identifies the sister as Lord Cobham's sister, Elizabeth Brooke, marchioness of Northampton. Since she died in 1565 and the painting is dated 1567, I am inclined toward the original identification.

PLEASE NOTE that WIVES AND DAUGHTERS: THE WOMEN OF SIXTEENTH CENTURY ENGLAND was published in 1984. Research for it was done in 1977-80, before the Internet. I cannot make changes in the print edition, now available via print on demand. I was going to attempt to update entries as I came upon information about individual women, but the task is just too big to be done that way. If you are interested in some particular woman, I suggest that you type her name into a search engine, together with the names of her father or her husband, and see what pops up. Many older reference books are now available electronically. A huge number of new reference books have been published since 1984. Enjoy the quest.
