The author of 14 novels, volumes of poetry, devotional works, criticism and numerous articles, Lily has left barely a footprint. Between 1885 and her death, she wrote nearly 100 articles and pieces for The Girl's Own Paper — she was writing an article for them a few days before she died in January 1932 — and all but one of her novels were serialised in the magazine.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift keep kids away from his Kansas City home on Halloween with crime scene tape Well, you can’t fit everybody in,’ Kate Mosse says to me, ‘but it’s better to make a start than be overwhelmed and not begin at all.’ For more than 50 years she was a correspondent for The Girl's Own Paper, the precursor to today's Woman magazine. Her most famous novel, The Vicar of Langthwaite, was reprinted in 1897 with a foreword by the former prime minister, William Gladstone. Yet all of her books are now out of print. She doesn't appear in anthologies of Victorian literature and references to her online are few.

The eldest of the four daughters of Baldwin II, she was raised to succeed her father and her name appeared alongside his on official documents and in diplomatic correspondence. When he died, her husband attempted to sideline her, but Melisende refused to yield. Instead, she went to war to secure her rights and, extraordinarily for these times, the clergy and nobility supported her. She ruled as queen from 1131 to 1153, and again as regent for her son when he was on campaign from 1154 until 1161. She endowed many convents and religious institutions and was a generous patron of the arts, yet, despite all this, she is barely a whisper in the history books and there is no major mausoleum or tomb dedicated to her.
