Buried: Hackney
Notes: the 'daughter' of the mysterious 'Madam Albart' of a letter of Ambassador Chapuys to Carlos V in 1542, naming her as one of three young ladies in whom King Henry VIII was showing a marked interest. Queen Catherine Howard was at that time in the Tower, facing execution, and the King was known to be looking for a sixth bride. Lucy was the daughter of Henry Somerset, 2nd E. of Worcester and Lord Herbert of Ragland. She may have been styled Lady Lucy Herbert and Chapuys’s 'Albart' would be typical of his misspellings of English names. Lucy’s mother was Elizabeth Browne, the sister of Sir Anthony Browne, thus explaining Chapuys’s further identification of her as Browne’s niece. Lucy was a maid of honor to Catherine Howard and in 1545 married Queen Catherine Parr’s stepson, John Neville, 4th baron Latimer, and was part of Catherine’s household as Lady Latimer.
