Katherine Felbrigge

According to the History of Parliament Online and other scrupulously documented sources, this is the Katherine who married first Ralph de Greene (and ordered an elaborate alabaster tomb for him when he died in 1417), and then married Sir Simon de Felbrigge as his second wife.

The ubiquitous tradition that Ralph's (and later Sir Simon's) wife was a Catherine or Katherine "Mallory" has no documentary support.

There is also no documentary evidence for any children by either marriage.

The effigies still exist, and are quite lovely. They are depicted holding hands, which suggests that she was quite fond of her young husband. This did not, of course, prevent her marrying again within a short time (probably by 1420) - and she wound up buried alongside her second husband when she died in 1460.
