Confusion of Personalities
The identification of Elizabeth Hatton with the supposed victim of the horror of Bleeding Heart Yard is no doubt caused in part by the sheer number of Christopher Hattons and Lady Hattons (Elizabeth or otherwise) in the family tree, including:
- Sir Christopher Hatton (1540-1591)
- His daughter Elizabeth
- Elizabeth Hatton, née Cecil, (d. 1646)
- Christopher Hatton (d. 1619)
- His wife Alice, née Fanshawe
- Their son, Christopher Hatton (1605-1670)
- His wife Elizabeth, née Montague (d. 1672)

Famous quotes containing the words confusion of and/or confusion:
“Of late the new “life philosophy” has shown a tendency to relapse into a bewildering confusion of logical and poetical means of expression.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“My grandmother stood among her kettles and ladles.
Smiling, in faulty grammar,
She praised my fortune and urged my lofty career.
So to please her I studied—but I will remember always
How she poured confusion out, how she cooled and labeled
All the wild sauces of the brimming year.”
—Mary Oliver (b. 1935)
