Helena was born in 1503 in Venice to Lorenzo and Constanca Mateas. The Mateas family where cloth merchants with ties to the wool trade in England and the silk trade from China. Lucrezia had 4 children but, like most families, lost Nana at age 4 and Antonia at age 1 to a fever. Lucrezia Helena, called Helena to distinguish her from her mother, enjoyed an unusual education as she was allowed to attend morning lessons with her elder brother, Marcello. Afternoon lessons were more conventional 'womanly arts' with her mother. Helena excelled at maths and languages and began helping her father with bookkeeping in 1518. Extended war between Venice and the pope's League of Cambrai, and disgust with the pope's corruption caused Lorenzo and Lucrezia to become secret Protestants by 1522. Due to the declining silk trade and fear of being discovered, Lorenzo moves his family to York and exclusively trades in Wool, carrying woolen cloth between England and Antwerp. | Helena was born in 1503 in Venice to Lorenzo and Constanca Mateas.

Helena was born in 1503 in Venice to Lorenzo and Constanca Mateas. The Mateas family where cloth merchants with ties to the wool trade in England and the silk trade from China. Lucrezia had 4 children but, like most families, lost Nana at age 4 and Antonia at age 1 to a fever. Lucrezia Helena, called Helena to distinguish her from her mother, enjoyed an unusual education as she was allowed to attend morning lessons with her elder brother, Marcello. Afternoon lessons were more conventional 'womanly arts' with her mother. Helena excelled at maths and languages and began helping her father with bookkeeping in 1518. Extended war between Venice and the pope's League of Cambrai, and disgust with the pope's corruption caused Lorenzo and Lucrezia to become secret Protestants by 1522.
