After a very juicy scandal, Humphrey sent her away. She later fell ill; and wrote and asked permission to return to Harvington Hall to die there. This was granted. There is a later scandal at the hall involving a young man who claimed to be her (and Humphrey’s) son that’s just been uncovered this year.
The hall is now a historic house you can visit/contact, and they can tell you all about what happened to her.
