Jane Meutas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jane Meutas (or Mewtas, or Mewtis, or Meautis, or Meautys) (c. 1517 ā c. 1551) was an English lady of the Queen's privy chamber who became the wife of the courtier Peter Meutas (or Mewtas, etc.). Her name is sometimes given as Joan, and her maiden name was Astley. Her husband was knighted on 18 May 1544, when she became Lady Meutas. She is the subject of a portrait sketch by Hans Holbein the Younger which is believed to date from the 1530s and is in the Royal Collection.[1]
