Margaret Roper

Categories: Friend / family

Daughter of Sir Thomas More. After her executed father’s parboiled head had been displayed on a pike at London bridge for the required month, she bribed the keeper to give it to her. She pickled it in spices and after her death, her husband took charge of it. It was eventually buried with him.

Married William Roper in 1521 and lived at Well Hall, Eltham.
