Jane Whorwood
Jane Whorwood, ''née'' Ryder (1612 – September 1684) was a Royalist agent during the English Civil War. She managed circulation of intelligence, as well as smuggling of funds to sustain the Royalist faction. Jane was an intimate confidante of King Charles I, having helped to co-ordinate his attempts to escape captivity in the late 1640s.
==Personal life==
Jane was born in Westminster, in 1612. Her father was Scots courtier William Ryder, surveyor of the royal stables, and her mother Elizabeth de Bonfyn, a laundress to Anne of Denmark, queen consort of James I of England. Soon after accompanying King James I in his return visit to Scotland, in 1617, her father died of undetermined illness. Two years later, her mother remarried to a more influential courtier, James Maxwell, himself also originally from Scotland.
Jane's own marriage took place in 1634, at the age of nineteen, to Brome Whorwood, who was four years her junior. However, in 1642, at the outbreak of the Civil War, her husband fled England, leaving for continental Europe where he remained until 1645. Jane Whorwood and their children, Brome and Diana, resided in his family property, Holton House, located in the outskirts of Oxford city where the Royal court was established. But Jane was not to remain still. Instead, she travelled continuously as an active Royalist agent.
