1669 Hewitt Margaret Paston Strode
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Margaret Paston (nee Hewitt): A Life of Resilience and Survival in Tudor England" 2.. This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Margaret Paston (nee Hewitt), an extraordinary woman who lived through tumultuous times in Tudor England. Born into the Hewitt family, Margaret's life took an unexpected turn when she became the wife of Sir William Paston in the late 15th century. Their marriage was marked by wealth, power, and influence, as Sir William was a prominent figure in Norfolk society. Tragically, Sir William's untimely death left Margaret a widow at a young age. However, she did not let grief consume her. Instead, she quickly remarried George Strode, a man of lesser social standing but great determination and ambition. Together, they navigated the complexities of Tudor politics and society, maintaining their position in the face of adversity. The date of this portrait is believed to be around 1669, long after Margaret's time, but it offers a glimpse into the strength and resilience of this remarkable woman. Her piercing gaze and regal bearing speak volumes about her unwavering spirit and ability to adapt to change. Margaret Paston's story is a testament to the indomitable nature of the human spirit and the capacity to overcome adversity, making this portrait a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits. Margaret Paston's legacy extends beyond her personal story, as she played a role in the larger tapestry of Tudor history. Her marriages to two influential men placed her at the heart of Norfolk society, and her ability to survive and thrive in the face of loss and change offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of women in Tudor England.
