Moll Davis Mary "Moll" Davis (also Davies or Davys; ca. 1648 – 1708) was a seventeenth-century entertainer and courtesan, singer and actress who became one of the many mistresses of King Charles II of England. == Early life, theatre career==
Davis was born around 1648 in Westminster and was said by Samuel Pepys, the famous diarist, to be "a bastard of Collonell Howard, my Lord Barkeshire" 〔Pepys, 9.24〕 - probably meaning Thomas Howard, third Earl of Berkshire, although her parentage has also been attributed to Robert's older brother Charles, the second Earl. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.chantryfinearts.co.uk/mary_davies.html )〕 During the early 1660s she was an actress in the 'Duke's Theatre Company' and boarded with the company's manager, Sir William Davenant.〔Olive Baldwin and Thelma Wilson, ''Davis (married name Paisible ), Mary () (c.1651–1708), actress and royal mistress'' in ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (Oxford University Press, 2004)〕 She became a popular singer, dancer and comedian, but the wife of Pepys called her "the most impertinent slut in the world".〔(Samuel Pepys Diary 1668 - complete )〕
