Wife of Sir Arthur Haslerigge of Covent-garden Parish.
From: ‘House of Commons Journal Volume 2: 25 May 1641’, Journal of the House of Commons: volume 2: 1640-1643 (1802), p. 156. URL: http://british.history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=1098. Date accessed: 17 October 2005.
I’m confused.
Pepys seems to talk about Arthur Haselrigge (el) and Mrs. Haslerigge (le). Was she really married to him? And why is there no information available about her? I know Charles had a lot of mistresses, but it seems odd she’s only mentioned by Pepys. She doesn’t show up, for instance, in the list of royal mistresses and their offspring in The English Royal Family of America from Jamestown to the American Revolution, by Michael A Beatty.
It seems the dates be wrong for this lady [wife of sir A.H.] to be a cumly mistress to entice a well seasoned Roue in to begotting a childe of a 30ish maid, far too olde, married 1640/1643.
This lass, along with many [many?]others did not have the savvy to wrest a incum from our Charley, therefore did not warrant a place in history.
both spellings be in use [dyslexic?]
