http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/MANNERS.htm#Bridget%20MANNERS
went to court at the age of thirteen to be one of
«u»«b»Queen Elizabeth's «/u»«/b» http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutElizabeth.htm
maids of honor. This was a good appointment, especially since at this age «b»Bridget«/b»'s only accomplishment was her ability to play the lute. Her mother was reluctant even to buy her the appropriate clothes; but the «b»Bridget Hussey«/b», «b»Countess of Bedford, «/b»who had been the wife of the
«u»«b»second Earl of Rutland
http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Bios/HenryManners(2ERutland).htm«/u»«/b»
her grand father, and after whom lady «b»Bridget«/b» was named, was so charmed with «b»Bridget«/b» that she decided to sponsor the girl in spite of her deficient education. To make a long story short, although «b»Bridget«/b»'s family persisted in believing that she would disgrace them all, the «b»Countess of Bedford«/b»'s confidence in her proved justified; «b»Bridget«/b» eventually became the «u»«b»Queen's http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutElizabeth.htm
«/u»«/b»carver, a post of high honor. Thus her patron protected her interests much more objectively and much more strongly than «b»Bridget«/b»'s own mother would have. Had the girl remained at home, she have remained ignorant, uneducated, and unmarriageable.
