• SUMMARY: The document below is the Prerogative Court of Canterbury copy of the last will and testament, dated 28 January 1582 and proved 16 May 1583, of Mary (nee Denny) Gates, wife of Sir John Gates (1504–1553), who was named as an executor in the 1552 will of Oxford’s father, the 16th Earl. Gates was replaced as executor by a codicil dated January 28, 1554, having been executed on 22 August 1553 along with John Dudley (1504-1553), Duke of Northumberland, as a result of Northumberland’s failed attempt to put his daughter-in-law, Lady Jane Grey, on the throne after the death of Edward VI (see BL Stowe Charter 633-4).
• The testatrix was the daughter of Sir Edmund Denny (d.1520), Chief Baron of the Exchequer, and the second of his three wives, Mary Troutbeck (d. 29 June 1507), the daughter of Robert Troutbeck, esquire, of Bridge Trafford, Cheshire. The testatrix was thus the sister of Thomas Denny (d.1527); Sir Anthony Denny (1501-1549); Grace Denny, who married John Danyell of Messing; Joyce Denny, who married William Walsingham and was the mother of Sir Francis Walsingham (1532-1590) and Mary Walsingham, the wife of the testatrix’ executor and nephew, Sir Walter Mildmay (1520/1-1589); and Martha (nee Denny) Carew (c.1500-1572), who married Wymond Carew (1498-1549) and was the mother of the testatrix’s executor and nephew, Sir Mathew Carew (1531-1618). See the wills of Sir Edmund Denny (d.1520), TNA PROB 11/19, ff. 235-7, and Thomas Denny (d.1527), TNA PROB 11/23, ff. 224-5, and the entries in the online edition of The Dictionary of National Biography for Sir John Gates (1504-1553); Sir Anthony Denny (1501–1549); Sir Francis Walsingham (1532–1590; Sir Walter Mildmay (1520/21–1589); Martha (nee Denny), Carew (c.1500-1572); Sir Wymond Carew (1498-1549); and Sir Matthew Carew (1531-1618).
• It appears from the will that the testatrix had no children, and that all her siblings had predeceased her. Her principal beneficiaries are her nieces and nephews.
• The testatrix’ nephews John Carew, Henry Carew, Wymond Carew, Roger Carew, and her niece, Prudence Bridges, would appear to have been the children of the testatrix’ sister, Martha (nee Denny), Carew (c.1500-1572), and her husband, Sir Wymond Carew (1498-1549), and the siblings of the testatrix’ nephew and executor, Sir Mathew Carew (1531-1618). The testatrix’ niece, Prudence Carew, married Anthony Bridges.
• The testatrix’ nephews, Geoffrey Gates and Anthony Gates, were the sons of the testatrix’ brother-in-law, Geoffrey Gates, who made a brief will on 12 August 1550, probated 17 December 1554 (see TNA PROB 11/37, f. 123. According to the pedigrees of Walsingham and of Wentworth of Lillingstone Lovell, Elizabeth (d.1596), the wife of the testatrix’ brother-in-law, Geoffrey Gates, was the daughter of William Walsingham and his wife, the testatrix’ sister, Joyce (nee Denny) Walsingham. Elizabeth (nee Walsingham) Gates (d.1596) was thus both the testatrix’ niece and the testatrix’ sister-in-law. After the death of Geoffrey Gates, Elizabeth (nee Walsingham) Gates (d.1596) married Peter Wentworth (1524–1597) of Lillingstone Lovell, the eldest son of Sir Nicholas Wentworth (d.1553) of Lillingstone Lovell, chief porter of Calais, and his wife, Jane (d.1569), the daughter of John Josselyn.
