About Helen Elleyn Preston

http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Bios/ElizabethLeyburne%28DNorfolk%29.htm

Helen Preston (d. AFT 1567) was the daughter of Sir Thomas Preston of Preston Patrick, Westmorland (d. 1523) and Anne Thornborough. She married first Sir James Leyburne of Cunswick and second, c. 1549, Thomas Stanley, 2nd baron Mounteagle (b. 25 May 1507 - d. 25 Aug 1560). She had two daughters by her first husband, Elizabeth and Anne; and two by her second husband, Margaret and another Anne. She married the first Anne to her second husband’s son, William Stanley, 3rd baron Mounteagle. After the Council of Trent declared (in 1562) that no Catholic could be present at a heretic service and remain a good Catholic, Lady Mounteagle refused to attend services. She does not seem to have been persecuted as a recusant, at least in part because of her family connections.
