Jane Burden was the daughter of a stableman and working in service when Morris discovered her one summer in Oxford. Besotted, Morris took his very own damzel in distress and had her educated as a lady before marrying her, knowing that she could never return his love. Together they created the Palace of Art, their own medieval paradise. But Dante Gabriel Rosetti fell for the lovely Jane Morris and she became Guinevere to his Lancelot.
