Lady Elizabeth Howard was baptised on 11 August 1586 at Saffron Walden, Essex, England. She was the daughter of Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Suffolk and Katherine Knyvett.

A settlement for the marriage between her and William Knollys, 1st Earl of Banbury was made on 23 December 1605.

She died on 17 April 1658 at age 71. She was buried at Dorking, Surrey, England.

As a result of her marriage, Lady Elizabeth Howard was styled as Baroness Knollys of Greys on 23 December 1605. From 23 December 1605, her married name became Knollys.

As a result of her marriage, Lady Elizabeth Howard was styled as Viscountess Wallingford on 7 November 1616. As a result of her marriage, Lady Elizabeth Howard was styled as Countess of Banbury on 18 August 1626. From before 2 July 1632, her married name became Vaux.[1]
