Gibbs records that she was inclined to "betake herself to the delights of youth and greatness... and was so good an archer at butts with the longbow, as her side, by her, was never the weaker. She kept commonly a cast or two of merlins, mewed in her own chamber to the detriment of her gowns and kirtles."1
