A character from The Winter's Tale, Hermione is the virtuous and beautiful Queen of Sicilia. Falsely accused of infidelity by her husband, Leontes, she apparently dies of grief just after being vindicated by the Oracle of Delphi, but is restored to life at the play's close. The character may have been drawn from the life of Anne Boleyn.
