There are lots of sites that tell the story but none that I can find that give her name. She is described as ' a young and beautiful woman' or 'a local archress' and to whom Henry, in gratitude, bequeathed some land but, sadly, her name eludes me.

Whilst being entertained at Vesey's home at Moor Hall, the King and his companions went off hunting in Sutton Park. The King was attacked by a wild boar, but before it could harm him, the beast was killed by an arrow. To the King's surprise, when he called for his saviour to be brought to him, he discovered that the marksman was indeed a young and beautiful woman.
On asking the girl how he could repay the favour, he heard how her family had been dispossessed of their property and the King ordered that restitution be made to them. King Henry was also keen to show his gratitude to Vesey and the people of Sutton Coldfield and on December 16th 1528, the Royal Charter was signed giving Sutton Coldfield the title of Royal Town and Sutton Park to the people of Sutton in perpetuity (*) (See below). Henry also gave his own emblem of the Tudor Rose to the town, which was used as its Coat of Arms until Sutton Coldfield became part of the Birmingham Metropolitan District in 1974.
