Research Notes

"Sir Edmund (Knightley) married Ursula daughter of Sir George Vere, and one of the sisters and co-heirs of John Vere, Earl of Oxford. Her first husband was George Windsor son of Andrew Lord Windsor of Bradenham, Bucks. This lady curiously enough figures on no less than three several monuments in different parts of the kingdom. Weever 2 records her name as appearing on the monument to her first husband in Hounslow Chapel (now destroyed). A brass in Fawsley Church depicts her by the side of her second husband, Edmund Knightley, and she lies buried in Letheringham Church, Suffolk, with which place she was connected through her sister Elizabeth Wingfield. Her will, dated 1557, disposes of much property, both in Suffolk and Norfolk."
