Lucretia the Tumbler


Lucretia the Tumbler, also known as Lucrece the Tumbler and Lucrecia the Tumbler, was a court jester in the court of Mary I of England. Lucretia and Jane Foole sometimes received identical clothes, and it has been suggested by author John Southworth that Lucretia was at some time Jane's caretaker or friend. It is known that Lucretia and Jane performed together. However, unlike Jane, Lucretia was a trained entertainer with skills.
Today entertainers sometimes perform as Lucretia in Renaissance-themed entertainments such as Renaissance faires.
