Katherine Boynton (d. 1678). Maid of Honor to Queen Catherine of Braganza from 1660. She was the daughter of Col. Matthew Boynton and in 1660 married Richard Talbot, later Earl of Tyrconnel. Gramont writes of her 'big, motionless eyes,' which 'gave, at a distance, a certain air of beauty, that faded away as one approached. She affected to be languishing, to speak husky and low, and to be capable of feeling faint two or three times every day'. At her only appearance in the diary she was seasick. (L&M Companion)

Boynton (Bointon, Bainton), Catherine, Maid of Honour app. [1662-63] (TNA/PRO SP Dom. 29/47 no. 117, f. 213). Occ. Oct. 1664-1669 (PD V, 306; NLS Adv. MS 31.1.22; last occ. Chamberlayne [1669 3rd edn.], p. 301). Vac. 1669 on marriage to Richard Talbot (CSPD 1668- 69, p. 308).
L&M doesn't get much wrong, but the marriage to Richard "Dick" Talbot took place in 1669.
