Kate (Ruled Britannia)

Kate was the proprietress of an eatery in London where William Shakespeare often ate. Shakespeare and Kate became intimate in 1598, and Shakespeare found he loved Kate more than he did his own wife. When Queen Elizabeth offered to do Shakespeare certain favors in gratitude for his role in William and Robert Cecil's conspiracy to expel the Spanish forces from England, Shakespeare asked the Queen to issue a divorce from his marriage. Elizabeth granted his request, and thus liberated, Shakespeare married Kate.
