Katherine Berkeley

Catherine Berkeley, d. 1526, was the daughter of Sir William Berkeley of Stoke Gifford (1433-1501) and Anne Stafford (c.1447-1508+). She married Maurice Berkeley, Baron Berkeley (1467-September 12, 1523). The marriage contract is dated January 28, 1484/5. They had no children. By 1514, Berkeley and Edward Stafford, duke of Buckingham, were feuding, although the cause of the rift is uncertain. At one point the burgesses of Tetbury, Berkeley's men, refused Buckingham lodging in that town when he was en route from London to Thornbury Castle. Buckingham is recorded as calling Lady Berkeley "false chorle and wiche."
