Biography

Elizabeth Greystoke was a member of the aristocracy in England.

Elizabeth Greystoke was born 10 July 1471 at Morpeth, Northumberland, and baptised there the same day, it says here.

She was the daughter of Sir Robert Greystoke, whoever he was, by Lady Elizabeth Grey, daughter and grand-daughter of Earls. She brought the Greystock inheritance, according to Clay, and was therefore a prize catch.

James Wilson further opines that at the tender age of 13 the young heiress was "in true Border fashion... carried off in the night from Brougham Castle by Sir Thomas Dacre..."

She married Sir Thomas Dacre, 3rd Lord Dacre of the North.

They had 2 sons,

• William, 4th Lord
• Humphrey

and 6 daughters

• Mary, wife of Sir Francis Talbot, 5th Earl of Shrewsbury
• Anne, wife of Sir Christopher Conyers, 2nd Lord Conyers (ancestors of Philip and Thomas Nelson)
• Jane, wife of Lord Tailboys, who didn't have a name
• Mabel, wife of Henry Scrope, 7th Lord Scrope of Bolton, not to be confused with Scrope of anywhere else
• Philip, or Philippe if Philip looks too odd
• Jane, again

Presumably Elizabeth was not the mother of Sir Thomas's bastard son, Sir Thomas.

Elizabeth died on 14th August 1516 and was buried at Lanercost Priory. She was survived by her husband, who fell off his horse and his perch in 1525.
