Though the 1590 edition of The Faerie Queene has Scudamour united with Amoret through Britomart's assistance, the continuation in Book IV has them separated, never to be reunited. For example, readers would immediately know that "a woman who wears scarlet clothes and resides along the Tiber River represents the Roman Catholic Church".[14] However, marginal notes jotted in early copies of The Faerie Queene suggest that Spenser's contemporaries were unable to come to a consensus about the precise historical referents of the poem's "myriad figures".[14] In fact, Sir Walter Raleigh's wife identified many of the poem's female characters as "allegorical representations of herself".[14]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6423.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6423.txt
