Dorothy DEVEREUX (C. Northumberland)

Born: ABT 1564

Died: 3 Aug 1619

Buried: Petworth

Noes: when father died, she became the ward of the Earl of Huntingdon. He hoped to marry her to his wife’s nephew, Phillip Sidney, even offering to provide an additional dowry if the match were made, but Dorothy’s stepfather, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, Lady Huntingdon’s brother and therefore also Sidney’s uncle, proposed a match with the King of Scotland instead. In Mar 1583, the Spanish ambassador, Inigo de Mendoza, reported that Leicester had assured James VI that the English crown would be his after Elizabeth Tudor’s death if he married Dorothy Devereux and promised to remain a protestant. When the Queen heard of the proposed match, however, she forbade it. In Jul that year, Dorothy took matters into her own hands by eloping with Sir Thomas Perrot. The groom was imprisoned in the Fleet for a month and Dorothy’s dowry of £2000 was not paid. In 1587, when she was at North Hall, country seat of the Earl of Warwick, during a royal visit, she was ordered to keep to her room. This decree so angered Dorothy’s brother, Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, that he quarreled with the Queen, then sent his servants to pack Dorothy’s things and rode off with her. They were ordered to return by a royal messenger. After Perrot’s death, Dorothy married Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland. They were often at odds and, as a supporter of King James, Dorothy was at court even while her husband remained a prisoner in the Tower of London for his part in the Gunpowder Plot. In spite of their differences, when Dorothy died her husband was deeply upset and had to be reminded by friends of how bitterly they had always quarreled.
