 Elizabeth Amadas


She may have been one of Henry’s VIII mistresses between his relationships with Mary and Anne Boleyn.


She was arrested for treason in 1532 claiming to be the King’s mistress and describing Anne Boleyn as a harlot who should be burnt .

She also said that Henry, by setting aside Catherine of Aragon for a younger woman, was encouraging the men of England to do the same ..

....Elizabeth’s husband had recently left her, too....

She described herself as a witch and a prophetess. She was released, but she got into debt and never recovered her position at Court.

She also claimed that Henry VIII had asked her many times to join her at the house of William Compton ( the man borrowed his house for the king's private time with his mistresses, basically a love nest ) .

She also did not state if she gave in to the King’s advances or not .
