Rosamund Clifford
Rosamund Clifford (before 1150 – ca. 1176), often called ''"The Fair Rosamund"'' or the ''"Rose of the World"'', was famed for her beauty and was a mistress of King Henry II of England, famous in English folklore.
==Life==
Rosamund is believed to have been the daughter of the marcher lord Walter de Clifford and his wife Margaret. Walter was originally known as Walter fitz Richard (i.e. son of Richard), but his name was gradually changed to that of his major holding, first as steward, then as lord. This was Clifford Castle on the River Wye. Rosamund had two sisters, Amice and Lucy. Amice married Osbern fitz Hugh of Richard's Castle and Lucy, Hugh de Say of Stokesay. She also had three brothers, Walter II de Clifford, Richard and Gilbert. Her name, "Rosamund", may have been influenced by the Latin phrase ''rosa mundi'', which means "rose of the world."〔Anthony à Wood ''(The life and times of Anthony Wood: antiquary, of Oxford, 1632-1695, described by himself )''. Printed for the Oxford historical society, at the Clarendon press, 1891. Page 341.〕
Rosamund grew up at Castle Clifford, before going to Godstow Nunnery, near Oxford, to be educated by the nuns.〔(Bingham, Jane. ''The Cotswolds: A Cultural History'', Oxford University Press, 2010, ISBN 9780195398755 )〕 Henry publicly acknowledged the liaison with Rosamund in 1174. When the affair ended, Rosamund retired to Godstow Abbey, where she died, not thirty years old, in 1176. According to Mike Ibeji, "there is ...no doubt that the great love of his life was Rosamund Clifford."〔(Ibeji, Mike. "The Character and Legacy of Henry II", BBC-History, 20 June 2011 )〕
