Elizabeth Greville

From the Will dated 15 September 1496 and proved 25 January 1497, of John Spencer (d. 4 January 1497) of Hodnell, Warwickshire: PDF:

3. Elizabeth Spencer, who was less than 14 years of age when the testator made his will. She married Sir John Greville (d. 25 November 1547), the eldest son and heir of Sir Edward Greville (d. 22 June 1528) of Milcote in Weston on Avon, Warwickshire, by whom she had a son, Edward Greville, and a daughter, Isabel Greville. Elizabeth Spencer had died by 1 September 1527, the date of a settlement concerning the marriage of Sir John Greville to his second wife, Eleanor Verney, the daughter of Sir Ralph Verney of Pendley in Tring, Hertfordshire. See the will of Sir John Greville, TNA PROB 11/32/252; Richardson, Douglas, Magna Carta Ancestry, 2nd ed., 2011, Vol. II, p. 268; and the History of Parliament entry for Sir John Greville at: 1492-1547 Link. Although the Spencer pedigree in Fetherston names Elizabeth Spencer and Thomas Spencer as the son and daughter of the testator’s nephew, Sir John Spencer (d. 14 April 1522) and his wife, Isabel Graunt, it seems these were actually the testator’s children, i.e. his son, Thomas Spencer, who died in 1532 without issue, and his daughter, Elizabeth Spencer (d. before 1 September 1527), who married Sir John Greville (d. 25 November 1547).
