Blanche Milborne

Blanche was also connected to Queen Catherine Parr sharing Agnes Crophull as an ancestress making them second cousins.

Elizabeth's daughter, Ann Morgan of Arkstone, Herefordshire, married Henry Carey, later Lord Hunsdon by licence on 21 May 1545, and the son of Mary Boleyn.

He is recorded as being an annuitant of Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham at Thornbury Castle in 1508, Sheriff of Herefordshire in 1515 and was knighted between Easter and Michaelmas 1516.

Lady Herbert of Troy's name heads the earlier lists, followed by Kate Champernon who was appointed in 1536 as a governess.

In 1545 Roger Ascham (whose page was John Whitney, possibly a relation of Blanche Milborne) wrote to Champernon asking that she commend him to "my good Lady Troy and all that company of gentlewomen."

Blanche Milborne retired to her own furnished apartments at Troy House[6] where she was cared for by her son Charles and his wife, Cicill.

If she was buried as her second husband had intended in the tomb in Monmouth parish church, now lost, it would have been adorned by the three effigies of Blanche Milborne, Sir William and his first wife.
