wives?

The picture is said to show second wife Cassandra; but no such wife is discussed in the text -- the second wife there is "Anne," with the strange story of having been bought from an abusive husband...Someone with access to good sources needs to clear this up.

Henry is the child in the portrait, the wives referred to in the caption are thos of his father. I will perhaps look at changing the caption to be clearer. Nancy ^talk 16:34, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anne Wells

The quote about how he came to marry the chambermaid somewhat contradicts this other one I found on the Wife selling (English custom) page: "The Duke of Chandos, while staying at a small country inn, saw the ostler beating his wife in a most cruel manner; he interfered and literally bought her for half a crown. She was a young and pretty woman; the Duke had her educated; and on the husband's death he married her. On her death-bed, she had her whole household assembled, told them her history, and drew from it a touching moral of reliance on Providence; as from the most wretched situation, she had been suddenly raised to one of the greatest prosperity; she entreated their forgiveness if at any time she had given needless offence, and then dismissed them with gifts; dying almost in the very act." – The Gentleman's Magazine (1832) --Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû (blah?) 04:07, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
