A woman (-5[1])from this family was the mother of a ruler (-5[1])whose reign saw Robert Kett’s anti-enclosure revolt in Norfolk. That member of this family was depicted (-5[1])meeting her future husband at this family’s seat of Wulfhall in a novel by Hilary (10[1])Mantel. (-5[2])A queen from this family died shortly after the birth of the future Edward VI and got engaged a day after the execution of her predecessor, Anne Boleyn.
