I have made amendments so it is clear at the beginning that she was notable, rather than it being necessary to read through the information. She was notable as: an important plotter at court, including in the plot by Thomas Seymour and Dudley against the Duke of Somerset, as well as putting Jane Grey on the throne. She was at the centre of this both before Mary's accession and allegedly during her cousin, Wyatt's, rebellion. She was the most influential woman at the court of Edward VI. She caused a great scandal by living with a married man. She was the wife of the second most important man in the country. She was so close to Elizabeth I, her influence was said to rival Leicester's. Plus she led an amazing life, going against the accepted social norms of her day.
She was clearly notable. If anyone wishes to dispute this, please discuss it on the talk page first. Thanks Boleyn (talk) 11:00, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
