== Biography ==

Lady Margaret Lee (née Wyatt) (c. 1506 – c. 1543)"Margaret Wyatt was born in 1506, grew up in a family with close connections to the court. Her father, Sir [[Wyatt-61|Henry Wyatt]] the Elder of Allington Castle, Kent[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allington_Castle?oldformat=true], was allied with Henry VII and Henry VIII and served as privy councillor and treasurer of the king's chamber, Her brother, Sir [[Wyatt-247|Thomas Wyatt]], was the foremost Tudor poet and an ambassador at Henry's court, while her sister, Mary Wyatt, attended Ann Boleyn at the scaffold. Margaret was married to Sir[[Lee-4597| Anthony Lee]], M.P., and bore him nine children. Unfortunately, little else can be discovered about her, her husband, or their family life. Nothing further can therefore be suggested concerning the meaning of the prominently displayed pendant of Lucretia, other than that Lady Lee hoped to present herself as a virtuous woman."[https://books.google.com/books?id=MKkSBtJNBUwC&pg=PA152&dq=Lady+Margaret++Wyatt&hl=en&sa=X&ei=NBi_VKmaJdGZyAS8zYFo&ved=0CCQQ6AEwATgK#v=onepage&q=Lady%20Margaret%20%20Wyatt&f=false] Margaret is best remembered for having been a companion of Anne Boleyn, whose family estates lay near the Wyatts' and who later employed Margaret as one of her ladies-in-waiting. Margaret was one of Anne's chief ladies-in-waiting, and accompanied her to Calais, France in 1532https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Lee_(lady-in-waiting)?oldformat=true
''Queen Anne'' had written a short farewell to Margaret inside the prayer book:
::"Remember me when you do pray,
::that hope doth lead from day to day."
