JAMES II OF ENGLAND/JAMES VII OF SCOTLAND and Anne Hyde 1637-1671

The prodigiously buxom and flirtatious Anne Hyde was the daughter of Edward Hyde, a Wiltshire lawyer who turned to politics, becoming Charles II’s chancellor. Her contemporaries noted her intelligence, though they admitted she was not very pretty; in fact, Anne was most often described as a cow. A hearty eater during an era when slenderness was the vogue at court, the girl’s booty came in for some serious ribbing in a popular rhyme: With chanc’lor’s belly, and so large a rump, There, not behind the coach, her pages jump.
