After his mother's death in March 1612, his father remarried to Elizabeth (nee Spencer) Carey, Baroness Hundson (widow of George Carey, 2nd Baron Hunsdon and the second daughter of Sir John Spencer of Althorp).
[3] The barony had been granted by King Henry VIII in 1544 to William Eure (c. 1483–1548), Warden of the Eastern March, and Governor of Berwick upon Tweed.
[4] In December 1600 his uncle, Sir William Eure of Bradley, came into Scotland with his servant Clement Armorer.
[6] William Eure was created a Knight of the Bath on the eve (24th) of the English coronation of King James I and Queen Anna held at Westminster Abbey on 25 July 1603 that resulted in the Union of the Crowns.
Both granddaughters were granted, by Royal sign-manual, the style and precedence of the daughter of a Baron,[3] and subsequently inherited much of the remaining Eure family property.
