| Keywords: people According to J. Stephan Edwards, Ph.D.: Lady Jane Dacre of Lanercost, a sixteenth-century Scotswoman descended from the wealthy Carlisle family, married into the Dacre family late in her life. Prior to that, she had what has been described as a “liaison” with Sir John Lowther, bearing him a daughter and eventually serving as his executor upon his death in 1553. Their relationship seems to have begun in the 1540s, precisely the time at which the wood for the boards of the painting has been dated. Well after Lowther’s death, in about 1565, Jane became the third wife of Sir Thomas Dacre of Lanercost, the illegitimate son of Sir Thomas Dacre, second Baron Dacre of Gilsland (d. 1525).
