- Abstract
The author uses the diaries and autobiographical writings of Lady Anne Clifford, Baroness de Clifford to explore the notion of widows and widowhood in seventeenth century Great Britain. It considers her memories of the 1613 court wedding of Lady Elizabeth Stuart (1596–1662), daughter of King James I, later known as Elizabeth of Bohemia, to German prince Frederick V (1596–1632), the Elector Palatine of the Rhine and later the short-lived King of Bohemia. Lady Anne was herself twice widowed and the relationship between herself and Elizabeth of Bohemia, as well as attitudes among the English nobility toward Elizabeth's status as widow, are explored.
