At another she addressed a long complaint to Elizabeth against her husband's sister, Margaret Lennard, for raising false reports concerning her, and endeavouring to prejudice her majesty against her.
[2] She and her husband were buried in the More Chapel in Chelsea Old Church, where, by her desire, a magnificent marble monument was erected, exhibiting their effigies of full size under a Corinthian canopy, richly adorned with festoons of flowers.
Her epitaph describes her in laudatory terms as: Fœminei lux clara chori, pia, casta, pudica; Ægris subsidium, pauperibusque decus; Fida Deo, perchara tuis, constansque, diserta; Sic patiens morbi, sic pietatis amans.
This bequest was in pursuance of a plan she and her husband hoped to complete in their lifetime, the funds for its support being charged on the manor of Brandesburton in Yorkshire.
To her brother, Lord Buckhurst, she left, with other jewels, her majesty's picture, set round with twenty-six rubies, with a pendent pearl.
