Anne Petre

Anne was born in 1509 (her portrait states "aged 58" in 1567) the daughter of Sir William Browne, a London merchant who died (one of the few to do so) during his term as Lord Mayor of London in 1514; his widow, the daughter of Henry Kebyll, subsequently became the third wife of William Blount, 4th Baron Mountjoy. A book of hours given to her by Lord Mountjoy, who was both her stepfather and her uncle by marriage (Mountjoy's sister Constance was the mother of Anne's first husband), is in a private collection at Beeleigh Abbey.

Anne was married first to John Tyrell, son of Sir Thomas Tyrell of Heron Hall, widow of William's first wife's kinsman, Thomas Tyrell and a distant cousin of John Tyrell, (Anthony Tyrell was the second Lady Petre's nephew). By March 1542 Anne had married William bringing him an increase in income of £280, from the lease of a farm at Dunton near East Horndon, and from manors in Cambridgeshire and Hampshire. By William, she had two daughters and three sons, of whom two died young.

• Thomasine, whose husband, Ludovic Greville, met with a tragic fate. He was twice summoned before the Privy Council, first for a violent assault on Sir John Conway, then, ten years later, for fraud. Finally, he appeared before Warwickshire Assizes in 1589 as an accomplice in two separate murders. At last, he did the decent thing; had he been convicted, his estate would have been confiscated, leaving his wife and children destitute. Instead, he refused to plead, the penalty for which was the peine forte et dure – being pressed to death by heavy weights.
• Katherine.
• John (1549–1613) was knighted in 1576, sat in Parliament for Essex in 1585–1586, and was created Baron Petre of Writtle, Essex, by James I on 21 July 1603.

___________________________

Anne Browne, 1509-March 10, 1582, was the daughter of Sir William Browne of Flambard’s Hall (1467-1514), Lord Mayor of London in 1507-8 and again in 1513/14, and Alice Kebel (1482-June 8, 1521). Through remarriage, Anne's mother became Lady Mountjoy and was at court. Anne's first husband was John Tyrrell of Heron, Essex (d.1540). Her second, to whom she was married by March 1542, was Sir William Petre of Ingatestone Hall, Essex (1505- January 13, 1572). Curiously, the Oxford DNB entry for William Petre calls Anne the daughter of John Tyrrell and the widow of William Browne of Flambard's Hall, but the life dates of both men make this impossible. The confusion may be explained by the fact that William Petre's first wife was Gertrude Tyrrell (d. May 28, 1541), daughter of Sir John Tyrrell of East Horndon and Warley, Essex (d. 1540). My thanks to Adrian Channing for pointing this out to me. All accounts agree that she brought to the marriage a dowry of £280 a year. By her second marriage, Anne had several children: Thomasine (April 7, 1543-1611+), Catherine, Edward (d. yng), Sir John (1549-October 11, 1613), William (d. yng), and Anne (1557-1610). One record also appears to give her a daughter named Griselda, perhaps from her first marriage. Petre was in royal service to Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth. In 1561, he entertained Queen Elizabeth at Ingatestone and from 1564-66 he and his wife were responsible for keeping Lady Catherine Grey under house arrest there. As a widow, Anne remained at Ingatestone Hall and there sheltered a number of seminary priests. She was on the list of recusants for 1582 but she died before any official action was taken against her.

• From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Browne_(died_1514) ______________________
• Sir William Petre (died 1572) was a secretary of state to Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I.
• Educated as a lawyer at Oxford, he became a public servant, probably through the influence of the Boleyns, one of whom, George, he had tutored at Oxford and another of whom, Anne, was married to the king. He rose rapidly in the royal service and, in 1543, was knighted.
• Petre was adept at sidestepping the great religious controversies of the day and held high office through the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I until, owing to ill health he retired a rich man to Ingatestone, a village in Essex, where he had built Ingatestone Hall. He died in 1572. Sir William's son John Petre, 1st Baron Petre was created Baron of Writtle in 1603. The later Lords Petre have mostly been Catholics. Their name is pronounced "Peter".
• William Byrd wrote a Pavan and a Galliard for Sir William Petre, which were published as part of his Parthenia.
• Born about 1505 or 1506, Petre was one of the sons of John Petre, a farmer and tanner of a family long established at Tor Newton in Torbryan, Devon, by his marriage to Alice Colling, from nearby Woodland. Both of his grandfathers were franklins.[2]
• In 1519 Petre matriculated at the University of Oxford as a law student. .... etc.
• Petre married firstly, in about 1533, Gertrude Tyrrell (d. 28 May 1541), concerning whose parents there is conflicting evidence. In some sources she is said to have been the daughter of Sir John Tyrrell (d. 28 February 1541)[4] of Little Warley Hall, Essex,[2][3] the eldest son and heir of Humphrey Tyrrell, esquire, by his second wife Elizabeth Walwin, the daughter of John Walwin, esquire, of Longford, Herefordshire.[5][4] However neither a daughter, Gertrude, nor her husband, Sir William Petre, nor their children are mentioned in his will dated 20 February 1541.[4] Similarly, Gertrude's mother is said in some sources to have been Anne Norris, the daughter of Edward Norris[6][7] of Yattendon by Frideswide Lovell, and the granddaughter of William Norreys and Joan de Vere, daughter of John de Vere, 12th Earl of Oxford. However the will of Sir John Tyrrell's widow, Anne, dated 16 July 1552 and proved in 1562,[6] indicates that she was not Anne Norrys, and that Sir John Tyrrell (d. 28 February 1541) had two wives, both named Anne; as King points out 'it is manifest from his will, that, at the time of her marriage with him she was the widow of John Hopton, by whom she had a daughter Elizabeth'.[6] In her own will Dame Anne Tyrrell mentions only her son, Maurice Tyrrell, and her daughter Elizabeth (née Hopton), now the wife of Sir John Perient (d.1551), Auditor of the Court of Wards and Liveries.[8]
• By his first wife, Gertrude Tyrrell, Petre had two daughters:
  • Dorothy Petre (1534–1618), whose godmother, in 1535, was Dorothy Barley (d.1557), the last Abbess of Barking Abbey.[9] She married Nicholas Wadham,[2] with whom she co-founded Wadham College, Oxford, granting the presentation of a living to her new foundation, together with much other local property.[citation needed]
  • Elizabeth Petre, god-daughter of Jane Wriothesley, wife of Thomas Wriothesley, 1st Earl of Southampton,[citation needed][10] who married John Gostwick of Willington, Bedfordshire.[2]
• Petre married secondly, by March 1542,[2] Anne Browne (c.1509[11] – 10 March 1582),[2] widow of John Tyrrell (d.1540), esquire,[6][12] eldest son of Sir Thomas Tyrrell and Constance Blount, daughter of John Blount, 3rd Baron Mountjoy, and daughter of Sir William Browne, Lord Mayor of London, by his second wife, Alice Keble (d. 8 June 1521), the daughter of Henry Keble (1452 - April 1517), Lord Mayor of London, and Joan Bryce.[13] By her first marriage, Anne (née Browne) was the mother of an only daughter, Katherine Tyrrell, who married Sir Richard Baker, the eldest son and heir of Sir John Baker, Chancellor of the Exchequer.[14]
• Petre second wife brought him a marriage portion of £280[2] from the lease of a farm at Dunton near East Horndon, and from manors in Cambridgeshire and Hampshire. By her Petre had three sons and two daughters:
  • John Petre, 1st Baron Petre (1549–1613), who 1570 married Mary (d. 2 August 1604), eldest daughter of Sir Edward Waldegrave of Borley, Essex.
  • Two sons who died young.
  • Katherine Petre, who married John Talbot of Grafton, Worcestershire.[2]
  • Thomasine Petre, who married Lodovick Greville, son of Sir Edward Greville of Milcote, in Stratford-upon-Avon, by whom she was the mother of Sir Edward Greville (d.1634).[2][15] In 1589 Thomasine's husband, Lodovick Greville, was charged as an accessory to murder; refusing to plead, he was pressed to death.[15]

• John was the only surviving son of the statesman Sir William Petre by his second wife Anne, daughter of John Tyrrell of Heron in Essex and widow of Sir William Browne, Lord Mayor of London. A talented amateur musician, he kept a full set of musical instruments (lute, five viols, virginals and organ) and was a patron of the composer William Byrd, a fellow catholic who lived at nearby Stondon Massey. On several occasions, Byrd brought a group of musicians to Ingatestone to entertain at Christmas and dedicated a collection of his Graduale settings to Lord Petre. John Petre was not endowed with the ability of his father and a much less forceful character but being a diligent landowner, public figure and a competent musician along with his great possessions and his father’s fame served him well. We know little more about him. Like his descendants, he was a Roman Catholic, but he must have kept his religious opinions in the background, or James would hardly have made him a peer.
• In 1570, he married Mary (died 2 August 1604), eldest daughter of Sir Edward ‘Walgrave’ (or Waldegrave) of Borley. By the time of her marriage, Mary was fatherless and poor but gave her parents-in-law ‘much joy in his choice’. She left four sons, .... etc.
