Marriages and Issue
Edmund Dudley married around 1494 Anne Windsor, sister of Andrew Windsor, 1st Baron Windsor, with whom he had a daughter, Elizabeth, who was born c. 1500 and later married William Stourton, 7th Baron Stourton. Dudley's next marriage, between 1500 and 1503, to Elizabeth Grey (c. 1480–1525), the daughter of Edward Grey, 4th Viscount Lisle, was a sign of his rising social status. Three sons were born to this marriage: John (1504–22 August 1553), later Duke of Northumberland; Andrew (c. 1507–1559); and Jerome (d. after 1555). Jerome Dudley was destined for the Church by his father, yet was mentally or physically incapacitated.

Famous quotes containing the words marriages and/or issue:
“If marriages were made by putting all the men’s names into one sack and the women’s names into another, and having them taken out by a blindfolded child like lottery numbers, there would be just as high a percentage of happy marriages as we have here in England.... If you can tell me of any trustworthy method of selecting a wife, I shall be happy to make use of it.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“I cannot wish the fault undone, the issue of it being so proper.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
