María de Salinas

[3] A more reliable date for her appointment would be 1503/1504[3] as her cousin returned to Spain to get married and was replaced by Maria de Salinas.

Her sister Ines, who was also thought to be one of Catherine's ladies-in-waiting, had married Francis Guevara, a Spaniard living in Stanyott, Lincolnshire.

Grimsthorpe Castle was granted by King Henry VIII to the de Eresby family on the occasion of María's marriage.

Lord Willoughby died in 1526; the Duke of Suffolk made María's daughter, Catherine, his ward shortly thereafter, marrying her as his fourth wife in 1533.

[8] In 1546, there were rumours that Henry was planning to have his marriage to Catherine Parr annulled and make the widowed Duchess his seventh wife.
