Ipolytta Howard, 1525-1548

The Tudor court was full of intrigue and death, and when Ipolytta's brother-in-law Edward Somerset died in very mysterious circumstances and her husband Thomas was sickly and unfit to run the estate, a pregnant Ipolytta acted as who would be her son John Somerset until he came of age. She was a patron of the arts and music and soon hosted illustrious people from all over Europe and proved to be an erudite, proud and pragmatic Lady, and her efforts and good education of her son would lead King Henry VIII to give them the title of Viscounts.

*portrayed by Alice Nokes in The Spanish Princess

Elizabeth Somerset, 1598-1608

One of Winbourne's great beauties, daughter of John Somerset and mother of Guildford Somerset, she was clever, well-educated and thanks to her appealing to the Queen, she drove Winbourne to a golden age. Sadly, she died in 1608 giving birth to a stillborn daughter. Young Guildford was left motherless and the aging John stooped in, outliving her by 12 years, the oldest living Viscount, dying at 74

*portrayed by Abbie Cornish at Elizabeth: The Golden Age

Joanna Knollys, 1688-1693

Descendat of Lettice Knollys, second wife of Robert Dudley, she was one of the best dedicated women in England, and had been said that fathered a son with Charles II. At the death of her husband hours after having given him the desired son by gout, she'd take the reins over Winbourne and be called My Lady, the Viscountess Mother, almost the same as Viscountess on her own right, though her son wouldn't become Viscount, but instead her grandson, George. She herself picked his bride and ensured the two of them sired an heir before she was gone.

*portrayed by Michelle Jenner in TVE Isabel

Juliana Somerset, 1697

Chivalrous, bold, energetic and brave, Juliana, firstborn daughter of Joanna took over for her still toddler brother, though she didn't last long, for she died under suspicious circumstances, fallen off a horse, though her half brother might've staged this until a new Viscount ascended. She had planned to be Viscountess herself.

*portrayed by Maimie McCoy in The Musketeers

Marie Elisabeth Somerset, 1701-1720

The first Viscountess of Winbourne in her own right, daughter of Juliana, she quickly took over power and imprisoned her mother's killer and ran the estate until she died, passing the viscountcy to her son, who'd take over until George turned 15. She was quick-witted, strong, loved politics and was one of the wealthiest landowners of the country

Genoveva Palacios, 1774-1796

With smallpox wiping out most of the population, Genoveva found herself with two grandchildren to take care of while herself at the old age of 50. In her youth, she had been the perfect Rococo lady, enchanting the Viscount of Winbourne and being the first Spanish woman to be a Viscountess of Winbourne. She took her role very seriously and soon gained political and, with the help of her Spanish family, she was capital in persevering her legacy.

*portrayed by Hannah James in Outlander

Victoria Somerset, 1878-1899

Not expected to run Winbourne, she took over as the new viscountess in 1878 after her brother George died in battle and his wife, Alina, had given birth to a stillborn son whom they illegally baptised as Octavian, hinting at George and Alina's desire to have at least eight children. She proved to be cunning, erudite, wise beyond her years, promoted women's education and rights, was the first one to marry for love and out of the peerage rather than into the peerage. She had ambitious plans for her daughter, and aimed to betroth her to the Prince and duke of Alderly, but her husband instead betrothed her with the illegitimate son of a viscount as well, the Lord Carlisle. She modernized Winbourne, took it to a new golden age and was one of the most beloved ladies of Winbourne by her tennats. She died of a stroke in 1899, the year where her only living daughter turned 18. She had been sick for years and, following the stubbornness and strength of the deceased Willian IV, she could manage to live until her daughter's coming of age so her cousin, the Tory duke of Burlingham wouldn't take power and possibly annex Winbourne to his dukedom by marrying Primrose. She was the most cried Viscountess in the history of the estate.

*portrayed by Emily Blunt in The Young Victoria

Primrose Gray, 1900-1958

The only surviving daughter of Victoria, her birth was the most celebrated by the people, and the most educated lady of Winbourne and deeply loved by everybody, and a very auspicious match due to her extreme wealth that had only improved since the Elizabethan Era. She went on to marry as well and had five children that went on to marry into the peerage and wealthy Wizarding World families. Her great-great-great granddaughter would be the next Viscountess on her own right.

*portrayed by Anna Popplewell in Reign and Claire Foy in The Crown

This amber necklace made its first appearance in the 1998 film Elizabeth, where several copies were worn by ladies in waiting, including on Kelly Macdonald as Isabel Knollys (pictured) and Emily Mortimer as Kat Ashley. In 2003 it appeared in a photo on the cover of Phillipa Gregory’s The Queen’s Fool. In 2007 it was seen on another book cover - this time photoshopped red on the Alison Weir’s Innocent Traitor. In 2010 it was worn by Joanne King as Jane Rochford in the fourth season of The Tudors, and later that same year two of the necklaces were worn by Fiona Hampton as Lady Matilda in The Sarah Jane Adventures. In 2016 it was seen on Claire Cooper as Anne Boleyn in Six Wives with Lucy Worsley.�� Most recently in 2021 it was worn in The Boleyns: A Scandalous Family on an extra playing Margaret of Austria.

Elizabethan Assassination Attempts (not feat. a poisoned dress)

Did someone try to assassinate Elizabeth I with a poisoned dress? This question (the number one question posed to this blog in 2020) derives from the film Elizabeth (1998). In said film, one of her ladies, Isabelle Knollys, dies mid-coitus with Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, while wearing a dress intended for the queen. The dress is then revealed to have been a gift from France, and the…
