Summary[edit]

Description

Elizabeth Wriothesley (née Vernon), Countess of Southampton 11 January 1572 – 23 November 1655) was the chief lady-in-waiting to Elizabeth I of England, oil on Canvas, 1603, The Fitzwilliam Museum.
Note: She was born in Hodnet, Shropshire, England to John Vernon of Hodnet and Elizabeth Devereux. By her mother, Elizabeth was the great-granddaughter of Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, and also of Walter Devereux, 1st Viscount Hereford, and a great-great-granddaughter of Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset and his wife Cecily Bonville. By her father, Elizabeth was the descendant of John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, William de Ros, 7th Baron de Ros, and the Barons Touchet. On August 30, 1597 Elizabeth married Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton. The marriage occurred after Elizabeth discovered she was pregnant. Upon discovering this, the Queen had both Elizabeth and her husband locked in Fleet Prison and, after their release, were never again received into her favour. Elizabeth and Henry had several children, including:

1. Lady Penelope Wriothesley (November 18, 1598 – July 16, 1667) who married William Spencer, 2nd Baron Spencer.
2. Lady Anne Wriothesley 1600 who married Robert Wallop of Farley Wallop.
