Maud Green

Maud was a very intelligent and well-educated woman; she was also fluent in French and was lauded as an excellent teacher by her peers.

Thomas Parr died of the sweating sickness on 11 November 1517, leaving Maud a widow.

She chose not to remarry for fear of jeopardizing the huge inheritance she held in trust for her children.

However, there is no subsequent mention of the child, so it was probably lost through a miscarriage, stillbirth, or death in early infancy.

[16] In her will, she left her daughter Catherine a jeweled cipher pendant in the shape of an 'M',[17] described as "an eme of diamontes with three pearls therat" and other pieces including a tablet or locket with pictures of the King and Queen.
