- Eleanor_Davies_(poet) abstract "Eleanor Davies (1590–1652) was a prolific writer and prophet, publishing almost 70 pamphlets during her lifetime.The fifth daughter of George Touchet, eleventh Baron Audley, she was learned in Latin, theology and law. In 1609, she married [Sir John Davies], by which she had three children. In 1625, she began caring for George Carr, a 13-year-old Scottish boy who was deaf-mute. While living with Davies, he began to utter prophecies and in 28 July 1625, Davies herself began prophesying. The same year she published her first pamphlet, A Warning to the Dragon and All his Angles, which related the Book of Daniel to contemporary political events.Her husband disliked her prophesying and burned at least one of her manuscripts. Eleanor predicted that he would die within three years; the next year, he was dead. In 1627, Davies remarried to Sir Archibald Douglas, a professional soldier. He also burned her manuscripts.Many of Davies's prophecies were based on anagrams. For instance, she read her own name Eleanor Audelie as "Reveale O Daniel". Henrietta Maria consulted her during her first pregnancy, although her relationship with the royal family was rocky. (She had foretold the death of the Duke of Buckingham, to the king's displeasure.)Davies was involved in several legal disputes during her life. After her first husband's death, she lost possession of her home at Englefield for a time, as well as her estate at Pirton. Later, after smuggling her illegally printed prophecies back into England from Amsterdam, she was arrested and fined £3000 and imprisoned. After her release, she was arrested again and sent to Bedlam for pouring tar over the altar at Lichfield Cathedral. Later in 1638 she was moved to the Tower, from which she was released in 1640. She was arrested twice more for debt and infringement of publishing laws.".
