Griselda (folklore)

Griselda (anglicised to Grizzel, Grissel, Grissela and similar forms) is a figure in European folklore noted for her patience and obedience.

Henry Chettle, Thomas Dekker and William Haughton collaborated on another dramatic version, Patient Grissel, first performed in 1599.

Patient Griselda is one of a group of historical or legendary dinner-party guests in Caryl Churchill's 1982 play Top Girls.

"Patient Griselda" is a 2015 short story by Steven Anthony George in the anthology Twice Upon A Time: Fairytale, Folklore, & Myth.

[10] Boccaccio's story of Griselda is depicted in a set of three Sienese panel paintings dating from around 1490 which hang in the National Gallery in London.

Griselda is sent away as her husband remarries, from a set of Sienese paintings in the National Gallery London (c.1490, by the unnamed Master of the Story of Griselda )
One of Griselda's children is taken away from her in an illustration from Eliza Haweis' 1882 book Chaucer for Children
