Was Rosamund a real person?
- She went to school at, lived at, had assignations with the king at, retired to, died at, or in any way hung out at Godstow Abbey. Sadly, Rosamund never entered Godstow until she was a fair corpse.
- She and Henry went drinking at the Trout. Or the Perch. I read this about the pubs near Godstow in a student handbook when I was doing my postgraduate work at Oxford, and I wanted to believe it.
- She lived in a maze at Woodstock. Of course this is a later embellishment, related to the next two myths. But a fairly elaborate pleasure garden does seem to have been incorporated into the royal residence at Woodstock in this period, adjacent to a room that just a generation later was known as “Rosamund’s Chamber.”
- The queen found her in the maze by means of a silken thread. See previous myth. But there is, just barely, a silken thread in Rosamund’s true story.
