Notes: widowed by the end of 1540, she took for her second husband Sir Ralph Fane or Vane, one of Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset's close supporters, who was executed shortly after Somerset in 1552. Elizabeth translated psalms and proverbs and received dedications from poet Robert Crowley and others of the radical protestant persuasion. When her husband was executed, charged with conspiracy to murder the Duke of Northumberland, Elizabeth lost their home at Penshurst, Kent and the contents of their house in Westminster. Under Queen Mary, Elizabeth offered aid to co-religionists imprisoned by the queen and as a result was eventually forced to go into hiding. She was concealed near Reading for twenty-one weeks in 1556.

Frances BRYDGES (C. Exeter)

Born: 1580

Died: 1663

Buried: Winchester Cathedral, Hampshire, England

Notes: may have been a maid of honor. By 1603, she had married Sir Thomas Smythe, a courtier who was named Master of Requests in 1608; they had houses in Westminster and Parsons Green, Fulham. In 1610, Frances married Thomas Cecil, E. Exeter. Frances entertained lavishly at Wimbledon but she was also involved in a scandal when Exeter’s grandson, Lord Ros (d. 1618) was blackmailed by his wife, Anne Lake, and her parents. The hostilities extended to accusing Frances of an incestuous relationship with Ros and an attempt to poison Lady Ros. In Feb 1619 the charges and countercharges were finally heard in the Star Chamber with King James presiding. Frances was vindicated. The Lakes were imprisoned and fined. Following her second husband’s death, Frances returned to Fulham, where she lived until 1632, when she turned the property over to her daughter, Margaret, and Margaret’s husband, Thomas Carey (d. 1634). She made her will on 20 Jan 1663. It was proved Jul 17.
