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.

Elizabeth BRYDGES (Maid of Honour)
Born: 1578/9, Sudeley Manor, Gloucestershire, England Died: Oct 1617 (1623?), in Sp Notes: Maid of Honour of Queen Elizabeth I, has been identified with the fair Mrs. Brydges to whom Essex showed so much attention as to offend the Queen (Sidney Papers). She nearly married one Charles Lister, then caught the eye of Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, Queen Elizabeth’s favorite. In Apr 1597, she and Elizabeth Russell were turned out of the Coffer Chamber for going to watch the Earl play at ballon without permission. The two maids of honor spent three nights at Lady Stafford’s house before they were allowed to return to court. Elizabeth Brydges’s romance with Essex cooled, but in early 1598, he was said to have resumed the affair. Elizabeth have claimed Sudeley and other parts of the Chandos property as the daughter and coheiress of Giles, the 3rd Lord. Elizabeth’s uncle, William, 4th baron Chandos, also claimed the property. In his father's lifetime Grey Brydges assaulted the lady's representative at a conference held to settle the dispute (Jun 1602). In the following Oct it was proposed that Grey should marry Elizabeth, but finally, in Dec, when he had become 5th Lord Chandos, it was stated that the controversy had been otherwise 'compounded'. Elizabeth Brydges was still at court in 1603 when Queen Elizabeth died and was in the funeral procession. Immediately after James I's accession Elizabeth married Sir John Kennedy, one of the king's Scotch attendants. Chandos appears to have opposed the match, and it was rumoured early in 1604 that Kennedy had a wife living in Scotland. But James I wrote to Chandos (19 Feb 1603/4) entreating him to overlook Sir John's errors because of his own love for his attendant. Elizabeth apparently left her husband and desired to have the matter legally examined, but as late as 1609 the lawfulness of the marriage had not been decided upon. Lord Chandos declined to aid his cousin, and she died deserted and in poverty. |

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.
