Elizabeth FitzHugh (1455/65 - before 10 July 1507) was an English noblewoman. She is best known for being the grandmother of Catherine Parr, sixth queen consort to Henry VIII, and her siblings Anne Herbert, Countess of Pembroke, and William Parr, 1st Marquess of Northampton. ==Family== Elizabeth was born at the family's ancestral home, Ravensworth Castle in North Yorkshire, England. She was the daughter of Henry FitzHugh, 5th Baron FitzHugh of Ravensworth (descendant of King John)〔Douglas Richardson. ''Plantagenet Ancestry'', Genealogical Publishing Com, 2004. pg 144, 561.〕 and Lady Alice Neville, daughter of Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury and Alice Montagu, 5th Countess of Salisbury ''suo jure'', only daughter and heiress of Thomas Montacute, 4th Earl of Salisbury and Lady Eleanor Holland. Her paternal grandparents were William FitzHugh, 4th Baron FitzHugh and Margery Willoughby. Through her mother Alice, Elizabeth descended from King Edward III. Through her grandfather, the Earl of Salisbury, she was a niece of Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick (known in history as "Warwick, the Kingmaker"), a grandniece of Cecily Neville, Duchess of York (mother of King Edward IV and King Richard III) and a great-grandniece of King Henry IV. Through her great-grandmother, Eleanor Holland, she was a great-great-grandniece of King Richard II and was also related to the York line of Kings and their successor Henry Tudor, who became King Henry VII. Elizabeth had nine siblings,〔The Complete Peerage vol.V, pp. 428-429〕 including Lady Alice FitzHugh and Henry, 6th Baron FitzHugh who married Elizabeth Burgh or Borough, daughter of Sir Thomas Burgh, 1st Baron Burgh of Gainsborough and his wife Margaret De Ros. Their son, George FitzHugh, inherited the barony but after his death in 1513, the barony fell in abeyance between Elizabeth and her older sister Alice. This abeyance continues today between the two families.〔Crofts Peerage Online (Baron FitzHugh )〕 The current co-heirs to the barony are: * Rachel Douglas-Home, 27th Baroness Dacre née Brand (b. 1929) * Hon. Tessa Ogilvie Thompson née Brand (b. 1934) * Francis Brand, 7th Viscount Hampden (b. 1970) * William Herbert, 18th Earl of Pembroke (b. 1978) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elizabeth FitzHugh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
