Frederica Planta

After her unexpected early death, she was succeeded as teacher of the royal children by her sister Margaret Planta [la], called Peggy.

[4][3] Planta's first name Frederica, atypical for her mother's Val Bregaglia region of origin and more typical of Brandenburg, may have been chosen in honour of her father's employer and family.

[12][13] The royal family had first tried to hire her older sister Elizabeth Planta, but she had declined as she preferred to continue to work for Mary Eleanor Bowes.

[19] Planta delivered this, "gain[ing] their affection by making their learning much play as possible", as she wrote in a letter.

[20] For education in the history of England, she had designed cards that her charges should put in the correct order, and she considered this as a successful teaching tool, to be used together with stories.
