Biography

Elizabeth was born about 1485. She passed away about 1518.

From Douglas Richardson post at soc.genealogy/medieval dated 28 Jun 2013:

"Thus we see that Elizabeth, wife successively of Sir Robert Southwell and

Sir Thomas Brooke, Lord Cobham, was the daughter of Sir Philip Calthorpe, of Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk. The date of the settlement given above as 27th Henry VII is impossible, as King Henry only ruled 24 years."

"Reviewing the above we find that Sir Robert Southwell died 31 March 1514,

and that his widow, Elizabeth, married (2nd) after 16 Jan. 1515 (date of conveyance) and before 1516 (date of two lawsuits) Sir Thomas Brooke, Lord Cobham. Elizabeth was living in 1516 (date of two lawsuits) but dead before 1518 (date of third lawsuit)."^[1]
