==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. Web. 9 Nov. 2013. .〕 She was the daughter of Sir Anthony Browne, a trusted courtier at the court of Henry VIII, and his wife Lady Lucy Neville, a daughter of John Neville, 1st Marquess of Montagu and Isobel Ingaldesthorpe. 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.
