- 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. .....

- put, meanwhile, £24,000 in his pocket. But Lord Darcy was alive and kicking, and he afterwards himself found favour at Court, and was made Lord-Lieutenant of Essex, and on the 5th July, 1621, created Viscount Colchester, with remainder to the afore-said Sir Thomas Savage, Baronet, of Rochsavage (who had married his eldest daughter), and their issue, with a grant of £8 per annum out of the fee-farm rent of the town of Colchester. Darcy was one of the mourners at the funeral of James I., and on the 4th Nov., 1626, Charles I. made him Earl Rivers, with like remainders to Sir Thomas Savage. He died in London on the 21st of Feb., 1639. and was buried at St. Osyth. By his will, dated 14th March, 1639, this Darcy, Lord Rivers, devised all his real and personal estate to his daughter Elizabeth, described as Elizabeth Viscountess Savage, and appointed her sole executrix.
