==Family==
Anne Stanhope was born in 1497〔Sylvanus Urban, ''The Gentleman's Magazine, April 1845'', p. 371〕 the only child of Sir Edward Stanhope (1462 – 6 June 1511) by his wife Elizabeth Bourchier (b. before 1473, d. 1557),〔; 〕 a daughter of Fulk Bourchier, 10th Baron FitzWarin (1445-1479). By her father's first marriage to Adelina Clifton she had two half-brothers, Richard Stanhope (died 1529) and Sir Michael Stanhope.〔.〕 After the death of Sir Edward Stanhope in 1511, his widow, Elizabeth, married Sir Richard Page of Beechwood, Hertfordshire.〔; ; .〕
Her paternal grandparents were Thomas Stanhope, esquire, of Shelford and Margaret (or Mary) Jerningham, and her maternal grandparents were Fulke Bourchier, 2nd Baron Fitzwaryn and Elizabeth Dynham. Through her mother, Anne was a descendant of Thomas of Woodstock, the youngest son of King Edward III of England and Philippa of Hainault.〔Anthony Martienssen, ''Queen Katherine Parr'', p.125〕
Anne's snobbery and pride were considered to be intolerable, yet she was highly intelligent and determined.〔Martienssen, p.125〕 Antonio de Guaras, a Spanish merchant living in London, would later say of her, that she was "more presumptuous than Lucifer".〔Antonia Fraser, ''The Wives of Henry VIII'', p. 235〕
