Rosamund Clifford, also known as The Fair Rosamund, was a mistress of King Henry II of England, famed for her beauty. She inspired many ballads, poems, stories, and paintings. She was born a bit before 1150 and died young, around 1176.

According to a legend, Henry's wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, found out about Henry's affair and poisoned Rosamund, killing her. It is not clear whether this incident really took place, as it was not mentioned by the chronicler of that time but only in the 14th century. With time, the story spread, receiving various details. Thomas Deloney, an English novelist and balladist from the 16th century, wrote "The Ballad of Fair Rosamund", which tells this tale of revenge.
