Tomocomo/Uttamatomakin and ten or so additional men, women, and children, including his wife, Mattachanna.

Pocahontas’s brother-in-law accompanied her to England, partly as a chaperone, partly to assess the culture””and even number””of the English, at Powhatan’s direction. Vaughan describes him in considerable contrast to Pocahontas who, according to Samuel Purchas, “carried her selfe as the Daughter of a King,” noting that on their arrival in Plymouth he presented as “the most astounding visitor, clad in a breechclout and bold facial paint, his hair shaved from the right side of his head and hanging in a braid several feet long on the left.” Although only Pocahontas and Tomocomo are named, they were accompanied by at least four women (“Ladies in waiting” suitable for a Princess) and up to six men (and/or girls/boys””no ages were recorded). Two of the retinue remained in England for at least five years. We have placed them here on the site of the Bell Savage Inn on Ludgate Hill, where they were first lodged in London.
