==Early Life==
Elizabeth was born approximately in 1502 and lived in Bechworth, Surrey, England.〔"Elizabeth Browne, Countess of Worcester." Family Search: Community Trees. Intellectual Reserve, Inc., n.d.

She was also the stepsister of Sir William Fitzwilliam, 1st Earl of Southampton, treasurer of the household and a man who later became very active in the Boleyn inquiries led by her accusations against Queen Anne.〔Ives, Eric William.
