Mistress Mistris Anne Turner (1576 - 1615) was a "waiting woman" and companion to Frances Howard, Countess of Somerset. Mrs Turner ran "houses of ill-repute" (brothels), and had wide connections in both the aristocracy, apothecary and business circles. She supplied the poisons (arsenic and mercury) when her mistress Frances Howard decided to murder Overbury in 1613. While her noble accomplices escaped with a pardon, Anne was called "a whore, a bawd, a sorcerer, a witch, a papist, a felon and a murderer" by the judge, and hanged at Tyburn in 1615. Copperplate engraving from a very rare print in the collection of Robert Stearne Tighe esquire.
