Agatha Gregson, later Lady Worplesdon, is a fictional character created by P. G. Wodehouse. Aunt Agatha, as she is best known, is the most bossy of the three aunts of Bertie Wooster referred to in Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster. She is fearsome, strong_willed, and buxom, and is always trying to get Bertie married off, usually without much success. She is known as the 'nephew_crusher'. Bertie would avoid her if he possibly could, but far too often finds himself bent to her indomitable will.
Agatha had at first been engaged to Percy Craye, though upon reading in the papers of his behavior at a Covent Garden ball, she had broken it off. She is married to Spenser Gregson for most of the Wodehouse canon, though he dies in time for her to marry Craye, who had by then become Lord Worplesdon, in Joy in the Morning. She has one son, Thomas Gregson.

Aunt Agatha, as she is best known, is the most bossy of the three aunts of Bertie Wooster referred to in Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster.
Agatha had at first been engaged to Percy Craye, though upon reading in the papers of his behavior at a Covent Garden ball, she had broken it off.
She is married to Spenser Gregson for most of the Wodehouse canon, though he dies in time for her to marry Craye, who had by then become Earl of Worplesdon, in Joy in the Morning; thereupon she becomes Lady Worplesdon.
Bertie has at least five uncles, three of which he has acquired by marriage: Tom Travers, Aunt Dahlia's husband; Spenser Gregson, Aunt Agatha's first husband; and Percy Craye, Earl of Worplesdon, her second; Henry Wooster, a "looney" of whom the family is deeply embarrassed; and Willoughby Wooster.
Nevertheless, he is perpetually afraid of his Aunt Agatha, who considers him a spineless invertebrate and a burden on society; his Aunt Dahlia, on the contrary, likes him very much, often inviting him to stay at her country estate, Brinkley Court.
Aunt Agatha is of the opinion that Bertie, a burden to society in his present state, must marry; furthermore, he must marry a girl capable of moulding his personality and compensating for his many defects.
