Mary Arundell (died 20 or 21 October 1557), was the only child of Sir John Arundell (1474 – 1545) of Lanherne, Cornwall, by his second wife, Katherine Grenville. She was a gentlewoman at court in the reign of King Henry VIII, serving two of Henry VIII's Queens, and the King's daughter, Princess Mary. She was traditionally believed to have been "the erudite Mary Arundell",〔Dictionary of National Biography, 1885–1900, Vol.2, Arundell of Cornwall s:Arundell of Cornwall (DNB00)〕 the supposed translator of verses now known to have been the work of her stepdaughter, Mary FitzAlan, later the first wife of Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk. ==Family== Mary Arundell was the only child〔Although Stanton states that Mary was Sir John Arundell's only child by Katherine Grenville, Richardson states that Mary's sisters, Jane and Eleanor, were also Sir John Arundell's daughters by his second wife; .〕 of Sir John Arundell (c.1474 – 8 February 1545) of Lanherne, Cornwall, and his second wife, Katherine Grenville (born 1489x93), a daughter of Sir Thomas Grenville (d.1513).〔; .〕 Mary Arundell's father, Sir John Arundell (d.1545), was the son and heir of Sir Thomas Arundell (c.1452–1485) (who after the defeat of King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth (1485) supported Henry Tudor's claim to the throne) by his wife Katherine Dynham, one of the four sisters and coheirs of John Dynham, 1st Baron Dynham (c.1433 – 1501). Sir John Arundell was made a Knight of the Bath when the future King Henry VIII was created Duke of York in 1494, and led troops against the Cornish rebels in 1497 and in France in 1513, where he was made a knight banneret at the siege of Therouanne. He was appointed a justice in Cornwall in 1509, served on numerous commissions in the West Country, and was appointed Receiver of the Duchy of Cornwall by 1508. In 1539 he was appointed to the Council of the West.〔; ; ; .〕 Sir John Arundell's first marriage to Eleanor Grey (died c.1503),〔Most sources state that her first name was Eleanor; however according to Richardson, her first name was Elizabeth (private e-mail, 18 November 2012) & "Elizabeth" inscribed on his brass in St Columb Major Church, Cornwall〕 the daughter of Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset, by his second wife, Cecily Bonville, linked him to a family close to the crown. Following his first wife's death, Sir John Arundell married, by papal dispensation dated 7 December 1503, Katherine Grenvile (born 1489x93), the youngest of the eight children of Sir Thomas Grenville (d.1513) of Stowe, Kilkhampton, Cornwall, by his first wife, Isabella Gilbert.〔.〕 By his first marriage to Eleanor Grey, Sir John Arundell had a son and heir, Sir John Arundell (c.1500–1557) of Lanherne, a second son, Sir Thomas Arundell of Wardour Castle (c.1502–1552), and three daughters, Elizabeth Arundell (d. between 1516 and 1524), who married Sir Richard Edgecumbe, Jane Arundell (d.1577) and Eleanor Arundell, all of whom were Mary Arundell's siblings of the half blood.〔.〕 Mary Arundell's half-brother, Sir Thomas Arundell of Wardour (c.1502–1552), married, by settlement dated 20 November 1530, Margaret Howard (c. 1515 – 10 October 1571), the daughter of Lord Edmund Howard and Joyce Culpeper. Margaret was a sister of Queen Katherine Howard, the fifth wife of King Henry VIII, and a first cousin of the King's second wife, Queen Anne Boleyn.〔; .〕 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「Mary Arundell (courtier)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
