Henry Paget, 2nd Baron Paget

[1] Paget was elected as Member of Parliament for Arundel in 1555 and for Lichfield in 1559 and 1563.

Before her marriage to Sir Henry Knyvet (died c. 1546), Katherine's mother, Anne Pickering, had been married to Sir Francis Weston (executed in 1536), and after Sir Henry Knyvet's death she married John Vaughan (d. 1577).

Katherine Knyvet's grandfather, the courtier Sir Thomas Knyvet (c.1485–1512) of Buckenham, Norfolk, was Master of the Horse to King Henry VIII, and the husband of Muriel Howard (d.1512), daughter of Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk[4] and widow of John Grey, 2nd Viscount Lisle, by whom she was the mother of Elizabeth Grey, Viscountess Lisle, one time betrothed of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk and wife of Henry Courtenay.

However, according to a decision of the House of Lords in 1770, Henry Paget was succeeded in the title in 1568 by his daughter, Elizabeth, and it was not until 1570 that his brother, Thomas, became Lord Paget.

[5] Paget's widow, Katherine, married Sir Edward Carey of Aldenham, Hertfordshire, by whom she had several children, including Henry Carey, 1st Viscount Falkland.
