## History

### Human life and Death

When she was alive, Honewooru was Penelope Devereux and was born in January 1563, to the first Earl of Essex Walter Devereux and Lettice Knollys at the Chartley castle in Staffordshire.

As the eldest daughter, she has one sister and four brothers. And her father created Earl of Essex in 1572.

She was 14 years old when Sir Philip Sidney accompanied her distant cousin Queen Elizabeth I on a visit to Lady Essex in 1575, on her way from Kenilworth, and must have been thrown into the society of Sidney, in consequence for the many ties between the two families.

In January 1581, she arrived at the court accompanied by her guardian's wife, Catherine, the countess of Huntingdon. At March, her guardian secures the queen's assent through Lord Burghley for her marriage with Robert Rich. She said to have protested in vain against the alliance with Robert, thus blessed with seven children.

Penelope was considered as one of the beauties at the queen's court. She has golden-haired with dark eyes, gifted singer, a dancer, fluent in French, Italian, and Spanish.

She is traditionally thought to have inspired from Philip Sidney's sonnet sequence *Astrophel and Stella*. Mostly composed in the 1580s, as is the first of the famous English sequences, contacting 108 sonnets and making 11 songs. Many of the fellow poems were circulated in the manuscript form before the first edition printed by Thomas Newman in 1591, five years later after Sidney's death. Penelope and others were set by the French lutenist Charles Tessier, publishing to London in 1597.

Whether when Sidney fell passionately in love with Penelope in the years between her arrival at court in 1581 and his own marriage in 1583, as it never happened unfortunately as she is already married and Sidney died of his wounds in the Battle of Zutphen in 1586.

However the marriage of Penelope to Robert was unhappy. In 1595, she began a secret affair with Charles Blount, Baron Mountjoy, with only the lord taking no actions during the lifetime of her brother, the powerful Earl of Essex who became the aging Queen's favorite in the years after Leicester's death in 1588.

But she tainted by association with her brother's plotting. Essex shocked many people, after the failure of the Earl of Essex rebellion by denouncing her as a traitor and after his brother's execution for treason in 1601. Within now, Robert gets Penelope and her children by Mountjoy casted away. Baron, like her, had been implicated in the Essex rebellion but the queen wishes to show as much clemency as possible to the rebels, taking no action against either of them. She moved in with her lover, and they began a very public relationship. Baron Mountjoy created Earl of Devonshire on the accession of James I, and Penelope was in a high favor at court.

She was among the ladies who escorted Anne of Denmark on her entry to London in 1603, serving Anne as the lady of the Bedchamber. Penelope dances as the nymph Ocyte in Ben Jonson's *Masque of Blackness* on the 12th night in 1605.

And in 1605, Robert sued for a divorce, and Penelope wanted to marry Charles and illegitimate children. In the divorce proceedings, she publicly admitted to the adultery. The divorce was granted but the requests to remarry and the illegitimating her children was refused. She married Charles in a private ceremony conducted by his chaplain, William Laud, after warding Archbishop of Canterbury, on December 26, 1605 at the Wanstead house in London. This, the proceeding, carried out in defiance of canon law followed by the disgrace of both parties, led to banishment from court by King James.

After being banished, Penelope and Charles continued to live together as a couple with their children until his death a few months later, and died on April 3, 1606.

As a single mother a year later from Charles' death, Penelope died on July 7, 1607.
