- 'Notes: youngest daughter. Was a patroness of Rowland Lockey the painter, a subscriber to the Virginia Company, and a contributor to St. John’s College, Cambridge. She is best known, however, for her scheming on behalf of her niece, Arabella Stuart. Mary planned Arabella’s escape from the Tower of London, hoping she would go abroad and serve as a Catholic pretender to the throne. Mary was arrested and twice examined by the Privy Council after Arabella’s capture and was then fined and confined to the Tower herself in 1611. She was not restricted to her lodgings in the Lord Lieutenant’s House and was helpful in bringing to light the truth about the murder of Thomas Overbury. When her husband fell ill in 1618, she was released in order to nurse him, after which Mary was fined £20,000 and set free.

- Elizabeth Talbot, Countess of Shrewsbury (c. 1521[1] – 13 February 1608), known as Bess of Hardwick, was the daughter of John Hardwick, of Derbyshire and Elizabeth Leeke, daughter of Thomas Leeke and Margaret Fox.[1] She was married four times, firstly to Robert Barlow, who died in his teens; secondly to the courtier Sir William Cavendish; .....
- On 20 August 1547, Bess married the twice-widowed Sir William Cavendish, Treasurer of the King's Chamber,[2] and became Lady Cavendish. The wedding took place at two in the morning, at the home of the Grey family, friends of the Cavendish duo. Sir William was more than twice Bess' age and the father of two daughters. His fortune had been made by the dissolution of monasteries; as an official of the Court of Augmentations, he was able to select choice properties for himself. Possibly acting on Bess' advice, Sir William sold his lands in the south of England and bought the Chatsworth estates in her home county of Derbyshire.
- Eight children were born of the marriage, two of whom died in infancy. Of the six who survived, three were sons (Henry, 1550-1616; William, 1551-1626; and Charles, 1553-1617) and three daughters (Frances, b.1548; Elizabeth, 1555-1582; and 'Mary, 1556-1632'). William was the forebear of the Dukes of Devonshire and Charles of the Dukes of Newcastle.[4] Elizabeth I was godmother to their first son, Henry, and Queen Mary I of England was godmother to their third son, Charles.[2] Sir William Cavendish died on 25 October 1557, leaving Bess widowed a second time. .....
