Eleanor Carey (c. 1495 – after 1528) was the daughter of Sir Thomas Carey of Chilton Foliat and his wife Margaret Spencer.
 She was the great-granddaughter of Edmund Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset, which meant she was a third cousin to Henry VIII.
George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence, 1st Earl of Salisbury, 1st Earl of Warwick (21 October 144918 February 1478) was the third surviving son of Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York, and Cecily Neville, and the brother of English Kings Edward IV and Richard III.
 He played an important role in the dynastic struggle between rival factions of the Plantagenets known as the Wars of the Roses.
Lady Jane Seymour (c.1541 – 19 March 1561) was an influential writer during the sixteenth century in England, along with her sisters, Lady Margaret Seymour and Anne Seymour, Countess of Warwick.
 Their brother was Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford.
 They were the children of Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, who from 1547 was the Lord Protector of England after the death of King Henry VIII and during the minority of Jane's first cousin, King Edward VI.
 She was baptised 22 February 1541, and her godparents were Thomas Cromwell (the King's chief minister), Lady Mary (the King's daughter, at the time declared illegitimate but later to become queen) and Katherine Howard, the fifth wife of Henry VIII, and queen at the time.
 Jane was thus the niece of Henry VIII's third wife, Queen Jane, whom she was probably named after.
 She was the sole witness to the secret marriage of her brother Edward to Lady Catherine Grey (a potential heir to Queen Elizabeth I) in 1560.
 She died a year later, aged 20, probably of tuberculosis.

 Hugh was appointed Keeper of the Great Wardrobe by King Henry VII on 21 September 1485, was knighted in January 1486 at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth of York, daughter of King Edward IV, and married Elizabeth Courtenay, daughter of Sir Thomas Courtenay, Earl of Devon, in 1490.

 He also succeeded in the title of 4th Earl of Somerset and was created 1st Earl of Dorset and 1st Marquess of Dorset (previously held by his father and later forfeited), and Count of Mortain.
 He was known for his deadly rivalry with Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York.
Baron Rokeby, of Armagh in the County of Armagh, was a title in the Peerage of Ireland.
 It was created in 1777 for The Most Rev. Dr Richard Robinson, Lord Primate of All Ireland and Lord Archbishop of Armagh, with remainder to his brothers and his father's second cousin Matthew Robinson and the heirs male of their bodies.
 In 1785 he also succeeded his elder brother as 3rd Baronet according to a special remainder (see below).
 Lord Rokeby never married and was succeeded in the barony and baronetcy according to the special remainders in the letters patent by his third cousin Matthew Robinson-Morris, the second Baron and fourth Baronet.

Jeronimo Bassano was an Italian musician who is noteworthy for having been head of a family of musicians — Anthony Bassano, Jacomo, Alvise, Jasper, John and Baptista — who moved from Venice to England and the household of Henry VIII to serve the court.
 Jeronimo himself never moved, however, but was listed in Venice as a "Maestro of the trumpets and shawms." Through Jeronimo's son Jacomo, who alone among his brothers did not join the recorder consort to Henry VIII, but kept his primary residence in Venice, Jeronimo is very likely a great-grandfather to the composer Giovanni Bassano.
