- MARY NEVILLE (1523-1578+)
- Mary Neville was the daughter of George Neville, 3rd baron Bergavenny(c.1469-June 13,1535) and Mary Stafford (c.1495-before 1530). In 1536 she married Thomas Fiennes, 3rd Baron Dacre of the South (1517- June 29, 1541) and had by him three children, Thomas (1537-August 1553), Gregory (June 1539-September 25, 1594), and Margaret (1541-March 10,1611/12). Both Lord and Lady Dacre were among those who welcomed Anne of Cleves to England, but on the eve of May Day 1541, Lord Dacre was “tempted by his own folly or that of his friends to join a party to kill deer” in Laughton Park, Sussex, which belonged to a neighbor, Sir Nicholas Pelham. Pelham’s gamekeeper, John Busbrig, objected. A fight broke out in which Busbrig was killed. Even though Dacre was not the one who delivered the fatal blow and was in fact in another part of the park at the time, he was held responsible, convicted of “manslaughter following deer stealing,” and hanged at Tyburn. His estates and title were forfeit, leaving Mary and her children destitute. It is possible this was a case of judicial murder, designed to allow the king to seize the estate. On July 2, 1541, Henry VIII ordered that “all her apparel of velvet, satin, pearls, stones or goldsmiths work” be returned to the widow, along with £50, but she was denied her dowry and her jointure lands. In 1542, an act of Parliament granted her the income from several manors. “Mary Fynes, widowe,” as she was now styled, remarried twice, first, before 1546, to John Wotton of North Tuddingham, Norfolk and then to Francis Thursby of Congham, Norfolk, by whom she had at least six children, three sons and three daughters, by 1559. Under Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, the Fiennes fortunes improved. Mary Neville’s second son, Gregory Fiennes, was restored as Lord Dacre in 1561. In 1578, her former brother-in-law, Henry Wotton (not to be confused with the author named Henry Wotton who was born in 1568) published a translation he had made from the French of a collection of Italian romance stories, which he dedicated to Lady Dacre. The title is "A Courtlie Controversie of Cupids Cantils containing five Tragicall Historyes by three Gentlemen and two Gentlewomen." If she died on December 18, 1565, the date given in some genealogies, this seems rather odd. Dedications are generally made to living persons able to reward the author for the honor. Portraits: Mary Neville commissioned two portraits by Hans Eworth, both as part of her campaign to restore her husband's title to her son. The first, c.1555, shows Lord Dacre in an inset marked 1540. The second, c.1559, shows Lady Dacre with her son, Gregory. For years this double portrait was misidentified as Frances Brandon, duchess of Suffolk, and her second husband, Adrian Stokes. J. Stephen Edwards suggests a third portrait of Mary Neville, c.1545 (the one formerly identified as Lady Jane Grey and shown in this Who’s Who under Jane Carlisle).
