In 1550, aged roughly eighteen, sixteen and nine, these three noblewomen composed a Latin poem of 104 distichs on the death of Marguerite de Navarre, which they sent to their former tutor, Nicolas Denisot, now living in Paris. Entitled Annae, Margaritae, Janae, Sororum virginum heroidum anglarum, in mortem Divae Margaritae Valesiae, navarrorum Reginae, Hecatodistichon, it was the first formal and original verse encomium in Latin penned by a female author to be printed in England. The Hecatodistichon was published in Paris in 1550 by Denisot, as the cornerstone of a collective tumulus, or commemorative volume, dedicated to Marguerite. The French literati were swift to respond to the appearance of the volume. In 1551 Denisot republished the Seymour's poem in a completely new volume with a French title that emphasised the collective nature of the Tombeau volume. Both volumes are reproduced here from editions held at the British Library.Early modern Englishwoman.Printed writings, 1500-1640.Series 1, Part 2 ;Volume 6.English literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700WomenEnglandHistoryRenaissance, 1450-1600SourcesWomenEnglandHistory17th centurySourcesEnglish literatureWomenHistoryWomenHistory820.80928709031Warwick Anne DudleyCountess of,1538-1587.,1212867Cullen Patrick1940-198021Hosington Brenda1179759Seymour JaneLady.1212868Seymour MargaretLady.1212869Travitsky Betty1942-221137FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910154977303321Anne, Margaret, and Jane Seymour2800986UNINA
