  Notes	http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/BROOKE1.htm#Elizabeth%20BROOKE%20(M.%20Northampton) «b»Elizabeth Brooke, Lady Northampton«/b» came to court in the last years of «u»«b»Henry VIII <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutHenryVIII.htm>«/u»«/b» and captivated the much older «u»«b»William Parr <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Bios/WilliamParr(1MNorthampton).htm>«/u»«/b». «u»«b»Northampton <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Bios/WilliamParr(1MNorthampton).htm>«/u»«/b» already had a wife but he married «b»Elizabeth«/b» in 1547 and lived with her until they were ordered to separate. Their marriage was declared valid in 1548, invalid in 1553, and valid again in 1558--each change of monarch, and religion, changed «b»Elizabeth«/b»'s status. She was involved in the match to marry «u»«b»Jane Grey <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutJaneGrey.htm>«/u»«/b» to «u»«b»Guildford Dudley <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Bios/GuildfordDudley.htm>«/u»«/b». At the court of «u»«b»Queen Elizabeth <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutElizabeth.htm>«/u»«/b», «b»Lady Northampton«/b» was considered one of the «u»«b»Queen <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutElizabeth.htm>«/u»«/b»'s closest friends, but as early as 1564 she was known to be suffering from breast cancer. At that time she made a trip to Antwerp to visit doctors there, but no cure existed.
