 		According to the Great Lord Wiki:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If we're going strictly by year, there were three people in the Tower in 1554. Jane Grey and Guilford Dudley were there till February 1554. The eventual Queen Elizabeth was there in 1554 for two months, as well.


gotta go for now, I'll come back with novel speculation.[/spoiler]

 		Three names
Since the following is not a solve but just some thoughts/ideas I will not put them under a spoiler tag:

Name1:
in 1554 Elisabeth was imprisoned --> combine with fictional name --> Elisabeth Moore?

Or something with Jane Grey (like Cephalopod pointed out)

Name2:
Definitely "Anne Boleyn". Now I do not understand the "a little sister's novel has this name" part:
--> Should this mean "little sister of Anne" (Some belive that Mary was her little sister but most historian do not) and we are searching for a novel written by Anne's little sister? I found nothing
---> the novel has the name "anne boleyn" and we seach the person whos little sister is the author? No novel found yet.

Name3:
1606: Like already mentioned Guy Fawkes died and he fought for the spanish. But the site says: the names we begin with (1606) are not those we end with (fight for the spanish) ???

I am confused Dunno

Phillipa Gregory's novel "The Other Boleyn Girl" is about Anne Boleyn's little sister Mary.

 		I took the spoilers off my previous post . . . I'm still not 100% certain when to use them, so thanks for the pointers!

For the first name, it's fairly clear how the name gets changed (although I like both Jane Eyre and Elizabeth Moore as possibilities)

For the second, it seems like we have to figure out how the second clue alters the name Anne Boleyn, but I haven't a clue on that. It seems to me like the second part is referring to the name of a novel written by a little sister (I originally assumed one of the Bronte sisters, but I can't make that work).

For the third, it might be stretch, but my thought process was that the first part gives us the name Guy Fawkes (1606), then the second part changes it to Guido Fawkes (the name he fought under for the Spanish).

Overall, I agree with the confusion.

Edit: This is a bit convoluted, but here me out . . . maybe the name Anne Boleyn is simply supposed to give us 'Anne' for Anne Bronte (in other words, a hint leading us to the little sister's name) so that we could then get to Agnes Grey, the name of her novel.

 		Name 2:
Maybe like this:
Little Sister of Charlotte Bronte --> Anne Bronte (the reference to Anne Boleyn?) --> novel from Anne Bronte has the title: Agnes Gray

So Agnes Gray might be the second one.

Name 3: Would make sense if this is related to the third Bronte sister Emily, but nothing found yet.

Edit: Now have read your edit in the post above. Two people and same idea - maybe not so convoluted Wink

 		I like the way you think, Auz! Very Happy It's been, um, a while since I read Wuthering Heights. Does anyone know if there's anyone who fought for the Spanish in the novel? (I can't think of anyone, but I might just not remember at this point.)

 		The way I read the clues, I think you guys had it with:

Jane Grey=Jane Eyre
Anne Boleyn=Mary Boleyn
Guy Fawkes=Guido Fawkes

 		My guesses center around "grey" as I'm a fangirl of Lady Jane:

Jane Grey=Jane Eyre
Anne Bronte=Agnes Grey
Guy Fawkes=Lord Grey de Wilton LINK

 		Has anyone sent any of the names to Lorimomo? I'm curious to see where this is leading.

Probably redundant, but this solution makes the most sense to me. Has anyone sent it yet?
I hate to keep mentioning her sisters but this part bothers me:"I have three sisters, although only one of them is still with me." Is this a mistake, as that would imply another sister?

With two votes, looks like this collection wins the first attempt. Sent it to her . . . so now we'll see . . .

I send the names Jane Eyre, Mary Boleyn, and Guido Fawkes. Got this back: two out of three ain't bad, but it ain't good either.



No idea which ones are correct. Confused

 		Mostly YaY anyway!! Maybe the two which have a connection to the Tower of London are correct?
