Claire Cross author of Oxford DNB article states 'Huntingdon died at Ashby-de-la-Zouch on 20 June 1560 (the date on his monument is a year out), leaving five sons and five daughters, most of them still under age. In addition to the marriage of his eldest son, he had also contracted the alliance of his eldest daughter, Katherine, to Lord Clinton's heir, and that of his second son, George, to a Derbyshire heiress, Dorothy Porte. Moreover, in his will he bequeathed to each of his other sons estates of £60 a year for life, and to his four other daughters £1000 apiece as a dowry. ' https://doi.org/10.1093/ref:odnb/12566
One accessible contemporary source which indicates death in 1560 (rather than the 20 June 1561 written on the tomb) is the description of his funeral on 14 July 1560 in Henry Machyn's diary.
