Elizabeth Darrell (courtier)

If she was born circa 1513, she must have been the daughter of Sir Edward's third wife, Alice Flye Stanhope who married him before 1513.

Elizabeth was a servant of the Marchioness of Dorset and then afterward, on an unknown date, she became maid of honour to Queen Catherine.

[1] Possibly out of loyalty to Catherine or due to her dislike of Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth refused to take the Oath of Supremacy.

[5] Henry is the only child by Elizabeth Darrell known to have been mentioned in Sir Thomas Wyatt the elder's (apparently lost) will, although it is possible that Francis and perhaps Edward might have been born after their father's death.

She also appears in Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall trilogy as an attendant of Catherine of Aragon and later of Princess Mary, and in Elizabeth Cook's Lux as she moves from loyalty to Katherine (as it is spelt in the novel) to Wyatt.
