Anne Seymour was the eldest daughter of Edward Seymour and Ann Stanhope, Duke and Duchess of Somerset.  Ann and her sisters were given a remarkable education, equal to that given to the royal Grey and Tudor ladies. In 1550 she married John Dudley, Earl of Warwick to reconcile his father John, Duke of Northumberland with hers.  King Edward attended the wedding that was celebrated at court with feasting, jousting, and fireworks.  The familial alliance was short-lived and eventually Northumberland was the cause of Somerset's execution, a year before his on treason and execution for attempting to put Jane Grey on the throne.  Anne's husband was imprisoned and condemned with his brothers in the Tower of London.  The wives were allowed to visit the Dudley brothers while they were confined, and eventually their mother the Duchess procured their release.  John died 10 days later at Penshurst, leaving Anne a widow.  She married again in 1555 to Sir Edward Unton, but retained her title of Lady Warwick until her death. She maintained relations with her Dudley relations.  Her mental state was questionable from 1566 until she was declared of unsound mind in 1582.

Lady Warwick is on Progress with the court having just hosted the Queen at her home at Wadley.  She seems to be enjoying a period of lucidity so the Queen has appointed her as a Lady of Honor until she returns to madness or the court returns to London, whichever comes first.  Lady Warwick has a sharp mind that anticipates the Queen's desires before the Queen does herself, thus she is often the preferred messenger or errand runner.  She can most often be spotted with her head down, striding in a determined manner on some Royal business.  If she's muttering, it might be to herself or to her dead husband John, but it's just better not to concern one's self with those details and give her a wide berth.  She's fond of her brother-in-law Leycestre  as well as the Sussexes and Lady Northumberland.  She has quite an adversarial relationship with Blanch Parry, in whose gable hood she is convinced her arch nemesis Mister Jingles lives.
