- This marriage turned out a most unhappy one : what Sir Harbottle Grimston called "peevish jealousies" on the part of her husband, and haughty pride of the wife, led to differences, which ended in a separation in 1594, and they both lived for more than forty years afterwards.
- Thomas, the only son of this Lord and Lady Darcy, married the daughter of Sir John Fitze, of Tavistock, and widow of Sir Alde'r Percy, but had no issue by her. He died in 1613, and was buried at Hengrave, where, upon a monument to his memory, the following is a part of the inscription : —
- Memoria sacrum
- Of Thomas Darcy, here the body ly,
- Only heire maile of Chiches Barony,
- * * * * *
- With D'enshire Fitz's heire he wedded was,
- But she from earth him issueless let pass.
- * * * * *
- Lord Darcy's two brothers having previously died without issue, the death of his son kept him without male heirs, and as at his death it was supposed the estates would again revert to the Crown, once more the old game, as played by Audley and Cromwell, begins again with other actors on the scene, facilitated, too, by the fact that Lord Darcy had openly professed the Roman Catholic religion. .....
