___ Gwyn, actress and Charles II's mistress, d. 1687 (4)

I believe the answer is:

nell

(Other definitions for nell that I've seen before include "- - Gwynne" , "-- Gwyn, 17th-century actress" , "Orphan girl" , "-- Gwyn, mistress of Charles II" , "Little -, (Dickens char.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
