Last one out of 50 questions, hope you can help please

28. Profession of Jane Seymour and Anne of Cleves .......7

[Obiter]

As both were queens of England I was thinking Majesty, but that's hardly a profession.

[factor-fiction]

Both were good at needlework

[factor-fiction]

Maid of honour?

[Fairlight]

I think you have it factor-fiction----MENDING :)

[grasscarp]

Mistress (before marriage)

[Captain2]

Monarch? (is that a 'profession'?)

[Fairlight]

I have MONARCH for another question, but thanks anyway.
Not sure about MENDING now lol---they made things rather than mended them methinks.

[Obiter]

Mistress has 8 letters; besides, Anne of Cleves was never the King's mistress; the moment he clapped eyes on her he could hardly bear to touch her, which cost poor Thomas Cromwell his head.

[DaisyNonna]

Anne of Cleves never made it to his bed.

[factor-fiction]

Ah- I didn't see the 7- I read it as a questionmark.
Maybe I need to dig out my specs

[Obiter]

She did, Daisy, but not to Henry's delight. " I tell you, Cromwell, having felt her breasts and belly, she be no maid!"

[jeffa]

Both were from "noble" families, for want of a better term, so never had professions in the traditional sense. As has been stated, Jane Seymour was a maid-of-honour, but I don't believe Anne of Cleves was.

[Obiter]

Of course, I am assuming that we are referring to Queen Jane Seymour, and not the actress.

[Fairlight]

MIDWIFE has been suggested, what do you think?

[DaisyNonna]

Before marriage. Never mistress, if she had there would have been no marriage. Ergo, not mistress,

[Captain2]

To which other clue do you have 'monarch' as an answer?

[Obiter]

Monarch cannot be correct as both were queens consort, not monarchs.

[Prudie]

I can't find any reference to either of them acting as midwives, surely 'too noble' for that?

[DaisyNonna]

Profession could be something both of them said. Merde springs to mind.
