About Maria, Lady Thynne
Maria, Lady Thynne born Maria Tuchet nicknamed "Mall" was an English gentlewoman whose marriage was against her and her husband's family's wishes and this led to a long legal dispute. It is possible that this story influenced William Shakespeare to start to rewrite the Italian story of Romeo and Juliet. Maria and her mother-in-law's correspondence is extant and gives an insight into their disagreement.
