Alice Lovell, 9th Baroness Morley

Alice Lovell was born about 1458, the daughter of Sir William Lovel and Alianre de Morley.
She married William Parker about 1475, when both were probably teenagers. After Sir William Parker died in 1504, she married again to Edward Howard.
She requested in her will to be buried with her anceastors at St Andrew, Hingham, Norfolk & was originally interred there, but her son Henry disrespected her wishes and had her remains removed and reburied at St Giles, Great Hallingbury, Essex.

Her memorial plaque [like that of her husband] has some continuity errors!

At the time of their marriage or shortly after,

the newlywed couple was given the use and income of the lands and manors of Hallingbury Morley,
Hingham, Buxton, Walkern, and the Hundred of Forehoe in 1476. The demised lands and manors
were detached by the king from the estate of Alice’s minor brother Henry Lovell, Lord Morley, since
the king had control over Henry’s wardship at the time. This was one of the first acts by various
parties in the four decade-long dismantling of the Morley-Lovell baronial properties inherited by
Alice’s brother.

Marriages and issue

He married twice, but died heirless. His first wife was the twice-widowed Elizabeth Stapleton, but she died in 1504 or 1505. He then married Alice, the heir and daughter of William Lovel, Lord Morley at some point in 1505.[2]. He wrote to her during his campaigns, but in his will he provided for two unnamed bastard sons, commending one to the care of the king and willing him a ship, and the other to Charles Brandon and leaving him 100 marks.[2] As a younger son with a living father, he only held the manor of Morley, which he willed to his stepson, Henry Parker, after his widow's life interest had run out.[2]

Sir Edward Howard, KG (1476/1477 – 25 April 1513), son of Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Surrey (later 2nd Duke of Norfolk) and Elizabeth Tilney, and a younger brother of Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk. He was the first of the Howards to win fame as a great admiral, beginning his naval career very young (participating in his first naval battle in his teens). He was in command during the Battle of St. Mathieu, which might have been the first sea battle fought by ships with cannons deployed through ports. He was killed shortly after, leading an assault on French galleys.
