MILBOURNE

Notes: born in England but living in a Welsh environment, Blanche was heiress of Milbourne. She was married first in 1494 to James Whitney of Whitney and Pen-cwm. Her dowry was the manor of Ilcomb in Gloucestershire. When she was widowed, remarried soon after, taking as her second husband William Herbert of Troy Parva. In Aug 1502 entertained King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York at Troy House near Monmouth. In 1516, William Herbert was knighted. Blanche received part of the estate of Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham, when Henry VIII confiscated it. In the late 1520s and early 1530s, she was probably part of the Countess of Worcester’s household and may have acted as governess to the Earl’s children. She may have been put in charge of Princess Mary’s household as early as 1531, when Mary was separated from her mother, Catalina of Aragon. Sometimes referred to as Lady Herbert and other times as Lady Troy, Blanche was the one charged with giving their earliest lessons to both Princess Elizabeth and Prince Edward. In each household in turn she became Lady Mistress when Lady Bryan relinquished that post. She carried Elizabeth’s train at the christening of Prince Edward in 1537. She was still in the Lady Elizabeth’s household as late as 1545 but had left by the time King Henry died in 1547. Lady Troy retired to Troy House, living there into her late seventies. Blanche Milborne’s niece and goddaughter, Blanche Parry, was Queen Elizabeth’s Confidante.
