Notes

From http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1509-1558/member/ne...

Married (2) Anne, da. of Thomas, 3rd Lord Burgh of Gainsborough, Lincs., wid. of John Bussy (d. 31 Jan. 1542) of Hougham, Lincs.; at least 1s. 3da.

Neville’s own resort to litigation was not to be compared with the legal battle in which his widow and elder son were to engage after his death.

When he died on 3 Sept. 1557 he possessed lands in Mattersey, Rampton and Thorpe valued at £41 a year, the manor of South Leverton worth £10, and scattered properties in Nottinghamshire valued at £5 13s. By his will, dated eight days earlier, he bequeathed to his younger son George his lease of Laxton parsonage and certain lands and tenements, and gave all his servants a quarter’s wages and subsistence until they found new employment.

The heir Alexander was 19 years old when his father died.6

In 1513 he was knighted on Flodden Field, where he was one of the King's Spears, a bodyguard of King Henry VIII. He was a Member of Parliament in 1529 and later became Lord Chamberlain to Anne Boleyn. He was also one of the twenty-six Peers summoned to the trial of Anne Boleyn in May 1536.[1]
  • Thomas Burgh, also spelt "Borough", was born about 1488 at Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, the eldest son of Edward Burgh, 2nd Baron Burgh (c.1463-1528) and Anne Cobham, suo jure 6th Baroness Cobham, daughter of Sir Thomas Cobham, de jure 5th Baron Cobham of Sterborough and Lady Anne Stafford, a daughter of the 1st Duke of Buckingham.[2]

  • Anne BOROUGH
  • Born: ABT 1500, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, England
  • Died: 1582
  • Notes: her only child was a considerable heiress, and was betrothed to a son of Sir William Fairfax in 1536, but disputes between the two fathers over the manor of Wigsley in Nottingham and other properties led Bussy to pay Fairfax £450 in 1539 to relinquish his claim to both Agnes and the land. She was then married to Edmund Brudenell of Deene (b. 1521- d. 24 Feb 1585). They were visited there by Queen Elizabeth on her progress of 1566. Agnes and Edmund quarreled over money, Edmund’s unfaithfulness, religion (she was a staunch Protestant; he was sympathetic to Catholic recusants), how long to stay at Deene and how long at Houghham, and (in 1562) over title deeds. As a wife, Agnes had few legal rights. At one point she had to borrow money from her cousin, John Bussy, to pay her dressmaking bill. However, she did apparently have some say in the distribution of Bussy lands after her death and she paid her cousin, Richard Topcliffe (their mothers were sisters and Topcliffe’s sister was married to Brudenell’s brother) an annuity. Because Agnes was childless, there were several cousins with claims on her estate. Early on, Brudenell conspired with John Bussy to defraud the others by taking Agnes to London while another woman pretended to be her in court and surrendered the Bussy lands. The plan was to split the inheritance but Bussy backed out at the last minute. After the death of her second husband, Sir Anthony Neville, Agnes’s mother (Anne) lived with the Brudenells. In the Oct following Anne's death, when Agnes was ailing, Sir Walter Mildmay brokered an agreement for the distribution of the property after Agnes's death. In addition to deciding on her heir, Agnes wished to endow schools. Included was a provision that Brudenell (now Sir Edmund) “banish Kelam’s wife out of his company”. Brudenell, however, had plans of his own. He secretly negotiated a deal with Anthony Mears of Kirton, the principal heir to the seven manors Agnes had brought with her when they married. Two days after Agnes died, Sir Edmund purchased the Bussy inheritance from Mears for an undisclosed amount. This was contested by other Bussy relatives and the lawsuits were still ongoing in 1589, well after Sir Edmund himself had died. At one point he was even accused of giving her “lewd physic” to shorten her life, but there was no basis for this charge. Some three months passed between the date when Sir Edmund was supposed to have poisoned his wife and her death and in the interim she was well enough to have a company of players come to Deene and perform. After Agnes’s death, Sir Edmund remarried, taking as his bride one Audrey Fernley, widow of Anthony Rone of Houndslow. They had one child, a daughter, in 1584. Audrey died soon after she was born. Upon Sir Edmund’s death the following year, the infant inherited an annuity of 100 marks (£55 13s. 4d.) and a marriage portion of £3000.
