<<Oxford's first wife, Anne, died at the queen's palace at Greenwich
on 5 June 1588, and was buried in state at Westminster Abbey on 25
June. Numerous elegies are preserved in the British Library (Lansdowne

Though she was well educated and is even said by Sturmius to have
spoken Latin, the four epitaphs written after her son died at birth
in May 1583, and attributed to Anne by John Southern in his Pandora
of 1584, were in fact translations (doubtless by Southern himself)
from the French poetry of Desportes. Anne's other children were:

Elizabeth Vere, born 2 July 1575, who married William Stanley,
earl of Derby, at Greenwich on 26 January 1594
and died at Richmond on 10 March 1627;

Bridget, born 6 April 1584, who married Francis,
Lord Norris (afterwards earl of Berkshire) in May or June 1599;

Susan, born 26 May 1587, who married Philip Herbert, earl
of Montgomery on Dec. 27, 1605 , and died in 1628 or 1629.

Oxford's 2d wife, Elizabeth, was buried at Hackney on 3 January 1613.

The illegitimate son of the earl and Anne Vavasour, Edward Vere,
distinguished himself as a soldier and died on 18 August 1629.>>

A Few Curiosities Regarding Edward de Vere

<<The three dedicatees of Shakespeare's works
(the earls of Southampton, Montgomery & Pembroke)
were each proposed as husbands for the
three daughters of Edward de Vere. (Venus and Adonis and
The Rape of Lucrece were dedicated to Southampton and
the First Folio of Shakespeare's plays was dedicated to
Montgomery & Pembroke.) Southampton declined the hand

of Elizabeth Vere to marry

(Elizabeth Vere later married William Stanley, the 6th earl of
Derby, himself a man of the theatre); Montgomery married

<<AFTER BRET HARTE & Mark Twain, Frank Norris was the next seminal
writer to explore the literary possibilities of the American West.
Although born in Chicago, in 1870, he considered San Francisco
his true home. His family moved there when he was 14, and
Norris later liked to say in typical western fashion that he
had been "born 'n raised" in California. Norris was a city youth,
his father a man of wealth & entrenched bourgeois values, his
mother a former actress devoted to conventional Victorian culture.

Death foreclosed Norris's career in 1902, leaving behind a reputation
as one of America's foremost naturalistic writers. This view of Norris
has persisted until fairly recently, when other facets of his writing
have begun to be appreciated. Among these is his singular contribution
to western American literature. Norris's exploration of land-centered
values versus economicpolitical considerations was a prescient
discovery for western fiction. Later writers like John Steinbeck and
Edward Abbey owe much to his groundbreaking analysis of ecological and
social themes. This is especially the case with Steinbeck. It is hard
to imagine The Grapes of Wrath without The Octopus in the background.
Both novels aspire to epic scope; both use melodrama to highlight a
titanic struggle between the People and the System; both abound with
panegyrics to the earth, visionary preachers, earth mothers, and
a lyrical tenderness on behalf of spontaneous, primal responses.
More than any figure of his era, Norris was a true literary
trailblazer of the Far West.>> - DON GRAHAM, University of Texas

<<Fowler states that "the only acceptable plural in English is
OCTOPUSES", and that OCTOPI is misconceived & octopodes pedantic.
OCTOPI derives from the mistaken notion that OCTOPUS is Latin.
But it isn't; it is Greek, from OKTOPOUS. If the word were Latin,
it would be OCTOPED and the plural OCTOPEDES.>>

Giovanni Girolamo Saccheri (September 5, 1667 - October 25, 1733)
was an Italian Jesuit priest and mathematician primarily known today
for his last publication, in 1733 shortly before his death. Now
considered the second work in non-Euclidean geometry, Euclides
ab omni naevo vindicatus (Euclid Freed of *EVERy Flaw* ) languished
in obscurity until it was rediscovered by Eugenio Beltrami
in the mid-19th Century.

Many of Saccheri's ideas have precedent in the 11th Century Persian
polymath Omar Khayyam's Discussion of Difficulties in Euclid
(Risāla fī sharh mā ashkala min musādarāt Kitāb 'Uglīdis).

It is unclear whether Saccheri had access to this work in translation,
or developed his ideas independently. The Saccheri quadrilateral is
now sometimes referred to as the Khayyam-Saccheri quadrilateral.

The intent of Saccheri's work was ostensibly to establish the validity
of Euclid by means of a reductio ad absurdum proof of any alternative
to Euclid's parallel postulate. To do this he assumed that the
parallel postulate was false, and attempted to derive a contradiction.

Born: 25 Oct 1811 in Bourg La Reine (near Paris)
Died: 31 May 1832 in Paris, France

<<Evariste Galois's father Nicholas Gabriel Galois and his mother
Adelaide Marie Demante were both intelligent and well educated in
philosophy, classical literature and religion. Nicholas Galois was
elected mayor of Bourg-la-Reine in 1815. On 2 July 1829 Nicholas
hanged himself in his Paris apartment only a few steps from where
his son was studying at Louis-le-Grand. The priest of Bourg-la-Reine
had forged Mayor Galois's name on malicious epigrams directed at
Galois's own relatives and the scandal was more than he could stand.

A few weeks after his father's death, Galois presented himself
for examination to the Ecole Polytechnique for the second time;
for the second time he failed. Galois resigned himself to
take his Baccalaureate examinations at the Ecole Normale.
He passed and received his degree on 29 December 1829.

His literature examiner reported:

"This is the only student who has answered me poorly, he knows
absolutely nothing. I was told that this student has an extraordinary
capacity for mathematics. This astonishes me greatly, for, after
his examination, I believed him to have but little intelligence."

Late in 1830, 19 officers from the Artillery of the National Guard
were arrested and charged with conspiracy to overthrow the government.
They were acquitted and on 9 May 1831 200 republicans gathered for a
dinner to celebrate the acquittal. During the dinner Galois raised
his glass and with an open dagger in his hand appeared to make
threats against the King, Louis-Phillipe. After the dinner Galois
was arrested and held in Sainte-Pélagie prison. At his trial on
15 June his defence lawyer claimed that Galois had said

_ "To Louis-Phillipe, if he betrays"

but the last words had been drowned by the noise.

Galois, rather surprisingly since he essentially
repeated the threat from the dock, was acquitted.

He did, however, encourage Galois to publish a more complete account
of his work. While in Sainte-Pélagie prison Galois attempted to commit
suicide by stabbing himself with a dagger but the other prisoners
prevented him. While drunk in prison he poured out his soul:

"Do you know what I lack my friend? I confide it only to you:
it is someone whom I can love and love only in spirit. I have lost
my father and no one has EVER replaced him, do you hear me...?"

In March 1832 a cholera epidemic swept Paris and prisoners, including
Galois, were transferred to the pension Sieur Faultrier. There he
apparently fell in love with Stephanie-Felice du Motel, the daughter
of the resident physician. After he was released on 29 April Galois
exchanged letters with Stephanie, and it is clear that she tried
to distance herself from the affair. The name Stephanie appears
several times as a marginal note in one of Galois's manuscripts.

Galois fought a duel with Perscheux d'Herbinville on 30 May.
One can see a note in the margin of the manuscript that Galois
wrote the night before the duel. It reads

"There is something to complete in this demonstration.
_ I do not have the time."

It is this which has led to the legend that he spent
his last night writing out all he knew about group theory.

Galois was wounded in the duel and was abandoned by d'Herbinville
and his own seconds and found by a peasant. He died in Cochin
hospital on 31 May and his funeral was held on 2 June.

Galois's brother and his friend Chevalier copied his mathematical
papers and sent them to Gauss, Jacobi and others. It had been
Galois's wish that Jacobi & Gauss should give their opinions on his
work. No record exists of any comment these men made. However the
papers reached Liouville who, in September 1843, announced to the
Academy that he had found in Galois's papers a concise solution

"...as correct as it is deep of this lovely problem:
Given an irreducible equation of prime degree,
decide whether or not it is soluble by radicals"
.
Liouville published these papers of Galois in his Journal in 1846.>>

Benjamin Franklin Norris (March 5, 1870 - October 25, 1902) was
an American novelist during the Progressive Era, the United States'
first important naturalist writer. His notable works include McTeague
(1899), The Octopus: A California Story (1901), and The Pit (1903).
Although he did not support socialism as a political system, his
work nevertheless evinces a socialist mentality and influenced
socialist/progressive writers such as Upton Sinclair. Like many of
his contemporaries, he was profoundly influenced by the event of
Darwinism, and Thomas Henry Huxley's philiosophical defense of it.
Through many of his novels, notably McTeague, runs a preoccupation
with the notion of the civilised man overcoming the inner "brute",
his animalistic tendencies. His peculiar, and often confused,
brand of Social Darwinism also bears the influence
of the early criminologist Cesare Lombroso.

Frank Norris was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1870, and moved to
San Francisco at the age of fourteen. He later became a member of
San Francisco's artistic Bohemian Club, which included such literary
notables as Jack London and Ambrose Bierce. He studied painting in
Paris for two years, where he was exposed to the naturalist novels of
Emile Zola. He attended the University of California, Berkeley between
1890 and 1894 and then spent a (reputedly dissolute) year at Harvard
University. While attending U of C was a member of the fraternity Phi
Gamma Delta. He worked as a news correspondent in South Africa in
1895?96, and then an editorial assistant on the San Francisco Wave
(1896?97). He worked for McClure's Magazine as a war correspondent
in Cuba during the Spanish-American war in 1898. He joined
the New York City publishing firm of Doubleday & Page in 1899.

In 1900 Frank Norris married Jeanette Black. They had a child in
1901. Norris died in 1902 of peritonitis from a ruptured appendix,
leaving his young wife & baby and leaving The Epic of Wheat trilogy
unfinished. He was only 32. Norris' McTeague was latter made
into a 1924 film called Greed by director Erich von Stroheim,
which is today considered a classic of silent cinema.
------------------------------------------------------------------
_ The Cambridge History of English and American Literature
_ VOLUME XVII. Later National Literature, Part II.

<<Frank Norris had larger aims than Crane and on the whole achieved
more, though no one of his books excels the Red Badge. He was one of
the least sectional of American novelists, with a vision of his native
land which attached him to the movement, then under discussion, to
"continentalize" American literature by breaking up the parochial
habits of the local colour school. He had a certain epic disposition,
tended to vast plans, and conceived trilogies. His "Epic of the
Wheat"-The Octopus (1901), The Pit (1903), and The Wolf (never
written)-he thought of as the history of the cosmic spirit of wheat
moving from the place of its production in California to the place of
its consumption in Europe. Another trilogy to which he meant to give
years of work would have centred about the battle of Gettysburg, one
part for each day, and would have sought to present what Norris
considered the American spirit as his Epic of the Wheat presented an
impersonal force of nature. Such conceptions explain his grandiose
manner and the passion of his naturalism, which he was even willing to
call romanticism provided he could mean by it the search for truths
deeper than the surface truths of orthodox realism. He had a strong
vein of mysticism; he habitually occupied himself with "elemental"
emotions. His heroes are nearly all violent men, wilful, passionate,
combative; his heroines-thick-haired, large-armed women-are endowed
with a rich and deep, if slow, vitality. Love, in Norris's world is
the mating of vikings and valkyries. Love, however, is not his sole
concern. The Pacific and California novels, Moran of the Lady Letty
(1898), Blix (1899), McTeague (1899), A Man's Woman (1900), as well
as The Octopus, are full of ardently detailed actualities; The Pit
is a valuable representation of a "corner" on the Chicago Board of
Trade. In all these his eagerness to be truthful gave Norris a
large energy, particularly in scenes of action, but his speed
and vividness are not matched by his body and meaning.>>

"Shake-speare's" Own Secret Drama Discovery of Hidden Facts
in the Private Life of Edward de Vere, Proves Him Author of
the Bard's Sonnets (Part 3) - by Charles Wisner Barrell

<<Other unsatisfactory labors envisage attempts to picture William
Herbert, later Earl of Pembroke, as the young nobleman here addressed.
For, while strange as it may seem, Herbert's parents sought to marry
him to the Earl of Oxford's second daughter, Bridget Vere, in 1597,
and a long letter has been found in Oxford's own hand, approving the
match, William Herbert simply does not measure up to the realistic
descriptions of the "faire youth" of the early sonnets. Far from
being an Adonis with incandescent eyes and long blonde locks that
curled into "buds of marjorum" like those that made Southampton the
outstanding male beauty of his day, Herbert is described as stout
and swarthy. And although he developed into one of the great
personalities of his age, of stronger character-fibre than
Southampton, he was the reverse of beautiful. There is no record
of anyone writing sonnets to celebrate the glory of his person.>>
---------------------------------------------------------
http://www.sirbacon.org/Sonnet/1.html

<<The sonnets addressed to William Herbert require no explaining.
They are written by one friend to another advising Herbert to marry &
have children and in the meantime not to behave in any manner which
would prevent him from coming to a wife with a clean heart. In his
youth Herbert appears to have had undesirable aquaintances. He was
born in 1580 and in 1598 in his eighteenth year came to reside
permanently in London. His parents, the Earl and Countess of Pembroke,
wished him to marry and settle down so they arranged that he should
marry Bridget Vere--a daughter of the Earl of Oxford, but apparently
Herbert cried off and this marriage did not take place, as Herbert
preferred to remain a bachelor & enjoy the pleasures of London town.
When his father died three years later (January 1601), he became
Earl of Pembroke.

Mary Pembroke is supposed to have commissioned Shakespeare to write
seventeen sonnets to celebrate headstrong William's 17th birthday, and
urging the young heir to marry. Bridget Vere, the granddaughter of
Lord Burleigh, Queen Elizabeth's great minister, had been chosen as a
bride for him, but he refused to obey his parents. Two years earlier,
a marriage had been negotiated with Elizabeth Carey, the granddaughter
of the Lord Chamberlain, then patron of Shakespeare's company, but
William had declared it "not to his liking". Whether Shakespeare
wrote the sonnets for Mary's son or not, he was not persuaded
to give up his bachelor life.>>

3. Elizabeth MANNERS

Married 2: Bridget HUSSEY (C. Rutland/C. Bedford)
-------------------------------------------------------
Eldest son of Thomas Manners, first Earl of Rutland, and his second
wife, Eleanor Paston, Countess of Rutland. He is stated by Doyle to
have been born BEF 1526, but most probably he was born BEF 1513. A son
of Lord Ros is mentioned as being a page of honour at the marriage of
Louis XII of France and the Princess Mary. His mother complained that
in bringing him up she had incurred in debts which she could not pay.

His first marriage was celebrated with the royal presence of the King
Henry VIII and the new Queen, Jane Seymour, on 3 Jul 1536. He married
Margaret, fourth daughter of Ralph, Earl of Westmoreland, a great
northern magnate. The same day his sister, Anne, married Henry,
Westmoreland's heir.

He succeeded as second Earl of Rutland on his father death,
20 Sep 1543; was knighted by Henry VIII in 1544 and
was one of the mourners at the King's funeral.

At Edward's coronation he was bearer of the spurs. In 1547 he was
nominated Constable of Nottingham Castle and warden and chief justice
of Sherwood Forest as a reward for conducting an expedition into
Scotland, with 3000 men, took and sacked Haddington. On 1 May 1549
he was appointed warden of the east and middle marches,
and had personal command of a hundred horse at Berwick.

He made depositions in 1549 as to conversation
he had had with Thomas Seymour, the lord Admiral.

He also was one of those who received the French hostages in 1550,
when the Treaty which followed the loss of Bolougne was concluded.

On 14 Apr 1551 he became lord-lieutenant of Lincolnshire and
Nottinghamshire, and at that time lived when in London at
Whittington's College. From May to Aug that year he was absent
as lord in attendance on the embassy to France.

He seems to have belonged to John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland's
party, so he belonged, like Northumberland, to the extreme reformed
party in church matters. And was one of those who took part on
3 Dec 1551 in the second debate on the real presence between
Sir John Cheke and Watson in Sir Richard Morison's house.

On 16 May 1552 he became lord-lieutenant of Nottinghamshire,
probably in Northumberland's interest.

At Mary's accession Henry was at once imprisoned in the Fleet as an
adherent of Lady Jane Grey. Rutland, however, soon became to terms
with Mary's government. While his brother Roger served under Sir
William Howard of Effingham, the Lord Admiral; he was made an Admiral
in 1556, and in 1557 Henry Earl of Rutland was appointed by Felipe
and Mary captain general of all the forces then designed to be
transported into France, and had the chief command of the whole fleet.

In 1555 he completed the noble design, which had been far advanced
by his father, of rebuilding the family mansion at Belvoir,
and making a nobler structure than it had ever been before.

Another plan of his father's was also completed by Earl Henry;
the collecting together from the ruined monasteries
the memorials of their ancestors.

After the loss of Calais, he was on duty at Dover (Froude, History,
vi. 439), and on 19 Jan 1557/8 five hundred picked men raised
in the city of London were ordered to serve under him.

Rutland was a favorite of Queen Elizabeth,
and had also a certain reputation of learning.

On 13 Apr 1559, months after Elizabeth's accession, Henry Manners was
nominated Knight of the Garter, and installed Jun 4; and on 10 May
became lord-lieutenant of the counties of Nottinham and Rutland, and
president of the council of the North part of the realm. On 13 Oct of
this year, died Countess Margaret at Hollywell, and the Earl gave her
a splendid funeral at St. Leonard, Shoreditch. Strype tells us, her
corpse was carried, Oct 21, 1559, from the house which had been the
nunnery of Haliwell, with thirty clerks and priest singing; about
threescore poor men and women in black gowns; mourners, to the number
of an hundred; two heralds of arms, Garter and York; then came the
corpse; afore a great banner of arms; and about her four goodly banner
rolls of divers arms. Mr. Bacon preached. After was dispersed a great
dole of money, being 2 d. apiece for each. And so all departed
to the place to dinner. About the valance was written:

'Sic transit Gloria mundi.'

Soon Rutland married his second wife, lady Bridget Hussey, a daughter
of John, lord Hussey (executed for the Pilgrimage of the Grace), and
widow of Sir Charles Morison of Cashiobury. These lady was a great
friend of Queen Elizabeth.

On 24 Feb 1560/1 he was made lord president of the north, and on
5 May 1561 an ecclesiatical commissioner for the province of York.

He died, seemingly of the plague, on 17 sep 1563,
and was buried at Bottesford Church in Leicestershire.

By his last will, dated Jul 5, 1560, he bequeathed "his body to be
buried in the church of Bottesford", if he should die within the
realm; and appointed that a tomb suitable to his eslate be made there.
He bequeathed to his daughter Elizabeth a thousand pounds for her
portion, and 30 £ a year for her maintenance till marriage, or
atraining the age of 21 years.

To John, his second son, he gave his manor and rectory of Helmesley,
sometime belonging to the monastery of Kirkham, as also his manor of
Roos in Holderness, and a fee-farm of 40 £ a year issuing out of the
city of York, during his life. To Edward lord Roos, his son and heir,
all his armour, munition, and weapons; and ordered all his goods,
chattels, jewels, plate, and household-stuff, which could be left
unsold, to be divided betwixt his wife and the said Edward his son,
when he should arrive to the age of twenty-one years; and, by a
schedule annexed, inceased the portion of his daughter Elizabeth
500 marks, if she should marry with the consent of his wife, and
George Earl of Shrewsbury, his brother in law, and of his brother
John Manners, or any two of them, whereof his wife to be one.
He also gave 200 £ to be distributed among his household
servants, as his wife should judge convenient.

The countess Bridget was afterwards married to Francis Russel, second
Earl of Bedford (her third husband), whom she survived many years. She
died 12 Jan 1600/1, and was buried at Watford, Herts; where, in the
middle of the South chapel, is a monument with her effigies in her
robes and coronet, a gentleman kneeling on each side, at her feet
a rein-deer, and a cherry-tree below, and this inscription:

The monument of the Lady BRIDGET,
Countess dowager of BEDFORD.
She was daughter to JOHN Lord HUSSEY:
And she was thrice married;
first, to sir RICHARD MORYSON, knt.
then to HENRY MANNERS, Earl of RUTLAND;
thirdly, to FRANCIS RUSSEL, Earl of BEDFORD:
and she had issue only by her first husband,
one son, sir CHARLES MORYSON, knt.
and two daughters, one named JANA SIBILLA,
married to EDWARD lord RUSSELL, eldest son
to her last husband the Earl of BEDFORD,
afterwards married to ARTHUR lord GREY of WILTON,
father to THOMAS lord GREY;

In most honourable reputation, died most quietly,
Answerable to her life, in perfect sense and memory,
the 12th of Jan, 1600, in the 40th year
of our most gracious sovereign Queen ELIZABETH.?

_ Captain John Smith died in London, June, 1631,
_ and was buried in St. Sepulchre's Church.

<<"The [stained glass] window provides a memorial to one of our most
courageous and brave colonists, Captain John Smith, and also to his
distinguished and learned biographer, the late Bradford Smith. The
intention was to accompany the figure of Captain Smith with those of
two of his most loyal and faithful friends. Accordingly, a portrait of
ROBERT BERTIE, EARL of LINDSEY, Lord Willoughby is shown in his Garter
Robes and holding a wand as Lord Great Chamberlain, in 1628. He and
Captain Smith were neighbors in the County of Lincoln and it was due
to Lord Willoughby's help that Smith was able to find a channel for
his energy and to realise his ambitions. Behind Lord Willoughby's
figure is part of the Palace of Whitehall as it was at this period
and opposite stands the Gateway of St. James Palace.

Captain Smith stands surrounded by a few of the nautical instruments
of the time, including the hour glass, lodestone, the quadrant & the
backstaff. At his feet is a volume with the initials of Thomas Hariot
who compiled a small dictionary of the Indian Language.

Smith himself holds a copy of his famous map of Virginia. The other
loyal friend and Patron is Sir Samuel Saltonstall, son of a Lord Mayor
of London. He it was who bore the costs of printing Smith's Sea
Grammar. Not only did he undertake this but he also held open house
for Smith at his home in Snow Hill, to the west of this Church. In
this house a room was reserved for Smith who had a trunk standing
there, no doubt for his personal books and belongings. Sir Samuel's
first cousin, Sir Richard Saltonstall, founded the Massachusetts
branch of the family which continues to this day. The Tower of the
Church stands behind his figure and is shown as it was before
restoration not long after Smith died.

Below these three figures is the trio of vessels which on a dark
December night in 1606, sailed down the Thames to arrive on
April 26th of the following year on the coast of Virginia.
Discovery 20 tons/ Susan Constant 120 tons / Godspeed 40 tons.

The Heraldry at the top of the window also has its own story. From
left to right, we see the Monogram R.H. standing for Robert Hunt,
Chaplain to the Expedition and the Colony. Next are the Arms of
Thomas, Lord De La Warr, eldest brother of Francis West and Lord
Governor and Captain General for South Virginia. Adjoining this are
the Arms of Henry Carey, Earl of Dover, to whom Smith dedicated his
True Travels, Adventures and Observations of 1629. Then follow the
Arms of William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, another Patron to whom
Smith's book was dedicated, and the Arms of Frances Howard, Duchess
of Richmond & Lennox, who financed Smith's General History and
permitted him to include an engraving of her Portrait. This line of
tracery ends with the letters B.G. standing for Bartholomew Gosnold
the Pathfinder of New England who was the prime mover of the Colony of
Virginia. High at the top of the Window are the letters S.H. separated
by a Cross, standing for St. Helen's, Willoughby in the County of
Lincoln where Captain John Smith was baptised on Jan. 9, 1580.">>

A dozen years later Lord Willoughby was to raise the siege
of Bergen-op-Zoom against a superior Spanish forces under
the Duke of PARMA. A ballad was even written for our hero:

_ "The new was brought to England
_ With all the speed might be,
_ And soon out gracious Queen was told
_ Of this same victory
_ "Oh, this is brave Lord Willoguhby,
_ My love who ever won;
_ Of all my lords of honour

In the background of the (dutch) Chess Portrait:

<<The other two inscriptions behind "Ben Jonson" appear to repeat one
and the same word. They also are on book-backs, and also slant towards
the left like the first one. On the second, the initial letter is
indistinct; it seems, however, to have been a P and the 3rd one is the
same. The second word would then be PARMAS; the 3rd, however, PARMA.>>

<<The Bertie family had been prominent in the military & political
history of England since the 15th century. Robert Bertie was Lord
of Bersted in Kent. Three generations later, Thomas Bertie was Captain
of Hurst Castle, Isle of Wight, in the latter end of the reign of
Henry VII; in the reign of Edward VI he was granted arms and a crest
and was described as one who "had for a long time used himself in
feats of arms and good works, so that he was worthy in all places
of honor to be admitted, numbered and taken in the company of other
nobles." Thomas' son, Richard, married in 1553 one of the most
distinguished ladies of the day, Katherine, Baroness Willoughby
of ERESBY, daughter and sole heir of William Willoughby.
She was Duchess-Dowager of Suffolk, being the widow
of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk.>>
