Catherine of Berain



"There was also a fine portrait, by Lucas de Heere, of “Catherine of Berain: in the costume of the time of Queen Elizabeth, date 1568. She wrote a locket (said to contain the hair of her second and favourite husband, Sir Richard Clough) suspended to her neck by a gold chain. She had four husbands: John Salusbury of Lleweni, Sir Richard Clough of Denbigh, Morris Wynne of Gwvdir, and Edward Thellwall of Plas y Ward. She died 27 August 1591, and was buried at Llanefydd on the first of September. No monument perpetuates her memory, but her portrait is preserved at Garthewin. Tradition, which is always extravagant, and has a special delight in the marvellous, has given this lady no less than seven husbands. It is said that when performing her last duty at the tomb of her first husband, she was escorted to church by Sir Richard Clough, and home by Morris Wynned of Geydir, who expressed a wish to be her second spouse, and received the civil reply, that his offer came too late, for she had already promised her hand to Sir Richard in going to church; but that is she should be call to perform the same melancholy ceremony over that gallant knight, he might rest assured that he should be her third benedict; a promise which she afterwards honorably performed.”

3-3 Henry STANLEY (Earl of Derby), Edward Stanley and Dorothy Howardwas born in Sep 1531 in Lathom, Yorkshire, England. He was christened on 4 Oct 1531 in Lathom House, Lancashire, England. He died on 25 Sep 1593 in Lathom, Yorkshire, England. He was buried on 4 Dec 1593 in Ormskirk, Lancashire, England. He married Jane HALSALL.



         “Queen Elizabeth made him a Knight of the Garter in 1574, and, in 1580, he was appointed ambassador extraordinary to confer the insignia of the Order of the Garter on Henri III of France. In 1577, he visited Isle of Man, and presided at a common-law court, and at a Tynwald Court at St. John's, when the bishop did homage for his barony. He was also present at a Tynwald Court in 1583, when regulations for salmon and trout fishing were passed. In 1585, he ordered the Deemsters and Keys to declare the law about "Treasure Trove", whereupon they stated that any such treasure was a "Prerogative due unto his Lordship by the Lawes of this Isle". Bishop Meryck gives a pleasant idea of his rule in Man by his statement that the island "is very fortunate in its expenses, ... for the Earl expends the greater part of his yearly rent in defraying them". In the same year, he became a privy councillor; and, in 1586, he was appointed one of the commissioners of the trial of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots. In 1588, he was made chief commissioner to treat for peace with Spain; and, in 1589, he was appointed lord high steward.

         “Upon his demise, he left, besides the above issue by his own lady (Margaret Clifford), three natural children, by one Jane Halsal, of Knowsley, one son named Thomas, and two daughters, Dorothy and Ursula, for whom he made a liberal provision. Dorothy, his first daughter, married Sir Cuth, Halsal, of Halsal, in the county of Lancaster, and Ursula, his second daughter, married Sir John Salisbury, of Sterney, in the county of Derby.”
