Elizabeth Grey, Countess of Kent (née Lady Elizabeth Talbot) (1582 – 7 December 1651) was the wife of Henry Grey, 8th Earl of Kent. She was a daughter of Gilbert Talbot, 7th Earl of Shrewsbury and Mary Cavendish. She married Grey on 16 November 1601, at St Martin's-in-the-Fields. They had no children, and the Earl died in 1639.〔Burke's ''Peerage and Baronetage, '' 76th ed. p. 823, (London and New York, 1914).〕 Afterwards she is thought to have married the writer, John Selden, who had worked for the Earl. After her death, her collection of medical recipes was published as ''A Choice Manual, or Rare Secrets in Physick and Chirurgery Collected and Practised by the Right Honourable the Countess of Kent, late deceased''. It was an interest she shared with her younger sister, Alethea Howard, Countess of Arundel. A book published in 1653 by W. J. Gent ''A True Gentlewomans Delight'' is considered to be her personal recipe collection, although it is more likely that the cookbook was written by the countess's chef Robert May, or by the publisher himself.〔 == Notes and references == 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 Grey, Countess of Kent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
