6 unusual facts about Lady of the Green Kirtle


Castleton, Derbyshire

The local underground caves were used as the filming location for the underworld, ruled by the evil Lady of the Green Kirtle (played by Barbara Kellerman), in the 1990 BBC adaptation of The Silver Chair (one of the Narnia books written by C.S. Lewis).

The mechanics of how Jadis could return are never made clear, since she is killed at the end of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, her last appearance in the books except for The Magician's Nephew.

The Lady of the Green Kirtle, also called Queen of Underland and Queen of the Deep Realm, is the main antagonist in The Silver Chair by C. S. Lewis.

In the 1990 BBC production of The Chronicles of Narnia, Lady of the Green Kirtle was portrayed by Barbara Kellerman,the same actress who played the White Witch.

In Prince Caspian, Nikabrik and his companions suggest that the White Witch could be resurrected — "who ever heard of a witch that really died?"

In Lewis's text this plan is never put to the test, though the Walden Media film adaptation introduces a ritual that begins to pull Jadis back to life before the spell is broken.
