Lady Mary FitzAlan, Duchess of Norfolk, was the daughter of Henry FitzAlan, 19th Earl of Arundel and his first wife Lady Catherine Grey. Because her only brother had predeceased her, she was the heir to the earldom of her father. She was the first wife of Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, whom she married in 1556. They had one son, Philip Howard, 20th Earl of Arundel, born the following year. Mary died eight weeks after the birth of Philip, and she was buried in Fitzalan Chapel in Arundel. Upon the death of her father in 1580, the earldom of Arundel passed to his grandson Philip.

Between 8 and 9pm on the 6th July 1553 King Edward VI lay dying at Greenwich Palace. Historian Chris Skidmore writes of how he prayed:
Mary Zouch attended Jane Seymour's funeral when she died after childbirth in 1537, and five years later she was granted an annuity of ten pounds "in consideration of her service to the King and the late Queen Jane".
For decades, the world of directing was a male dominated landscape. While there have been female directors since the inception of cinema in the late Nineteenth century, few have ever garnered the same success or recognition as their male peers. This list is devoted to ten of the greatest female directors who ever lived. They were women who challenged the medium and helped innovate it throughout the decades. This list is arranged chronologically from when they released their first film. 10. Alice Guy-Blaché Alice Guy-Blaché deserves the number one spot on this list simply because she was the first female filmmaker...ever. Over her entire career,

Lady Catherine de Bourgh was an unpleasant, opinionated, imperious and grand old dame. Whose wardrobe best matches her character? This purply puce gown with tight bodice and low neckline presents a formidable front. It is slightly old-fashioned, but elegant, and more like a court gown than a dinner dress. Judi Dench, Pride and Prejudice 2005. This Lady Catherine wears a fashionable carriage outfit with a pelisse trimmed with fur and a hat festooned with ostrich plumes. The outfit reeks of class to anyone Lady Catherine might have encountered on her journey to Longbourn. Barbara Leigh-Hunt, Pride and Prejudice 1995. The spencer jacket with a militaristic sash draped over one shoulder is quite fashionable. This Lady Catherine holds a walking stick and uses it to great effect. Judy Parfitt, Pride and Prejudice 1980. The dress is all wrong, of course, for it belongs to the mid-19th century. But this Lady Catherine, swathed from head-to-toe and side-to-very-considerable-side (mutton sleeves, wide hooped skirt), presents a striking black figure. Any ordinary person would quail when confronted with so much blackness, but not our Elizabeth. Edna Mae Oliver, Pride and Prejudice 1940. Whose Lady Catherine wardrobe most matches the character?
