It is hard to imagine the awful life for people who were mentally ill in some of the past time period.

They could put people away for all kinds of ridiculous reasons, if they were wealthy enough or if a doctor was willing to certify the patient insane. Sometimes it was to get a hold of money or property, but in Lady Rosamund's case, it was because it would be an embarrassment to her family, particularly her mother. A hint of insanity could affect a whole family's reputation. They would most likely keep her confined at home in the country and say she was ill, so it would remain a secret.
