Anne Devereux

Anne’s father Walter was a big Yorkist knight in the War of the Roses.  She married a knight who was mixed up in this royal Lancaster/York mess as well.  Her husband, William Herbert, was lord of a giant castle, Raglan.  She had nice digs in Wales at this castle while the Brits were embroiled in their Rose thing.  I am still having trouble sorting out the royal roses and why the people of Wales would care, but they got into it too.

Anne Devereux is the daughter of Sir Walter Devereux and Elizabeth Merbury. 2 She married William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke, son of Sir William ap Thomas. Her married name became Herbert.
