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. 410 0$aEarly modern Englishwoman.$pPrinted writings, 1500-1640.$nSeries 1, Part 2 ;$vVolume 6. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700 606 $aWomen$zEngland$xHistory$yRenaissance, 1450-1600$vSources 606 $aWomen$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century$vSources 615 0$aEnglish literature 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 676 $a820.80928709031 700 $aWarwick$b Anne Dudley$cCountess of,$f1538-1587.,$01212867 701 $aCullen$b Patrick$f1940-$0198021 701 $aHosington$b Brenda$01179759 701 $aSeymour$b Jane$cLady.$01212868 701 $aSeymour$b Margaret$cLady.$01212869 701 $aTravitsky$b Betty$f1942-$0221137 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154977303321 996 $aAnne, Margaret, and Jane Seymour$92800986 997 $aUNINA
