Katherine Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon
Katherine Hastings (née Dudley), Countess of Huntingdon (c. 1538 or 1543–1545 – 14 August 1620) was an English noblewoman.
She was the youngest surviving daughter of John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland and his wife, Jane Guildford, and a sister of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, Elizabeth
I's favourite.
Katherine Dudley was betrothed or married on 25 May 1553 at a very young age to Henry Hastings, the heir of Francis Hastings, 2nd Earl of Huntingdon.
From her mother's will it appears that she was still under 12 years of age in January 1555, and a clause regarding her marriage implies that the match could still be dissolved: "if it so chance that my Lord Hastings do refuse her
or she him".
By the spring of 1559 Katherine Hastings was definitely married, and on the death of her father-in-law in 1560 became Countess of Huntingdon.
She remained childless, though she may have suffered a miscarriage in the spring of 1566.
For many years she lived with her husband in the English Midlands and Yorkshire, where she dedicated herself to the education of young women of the nobility and gentry.
Among her pupils were the diarist Margaret Hoby, and her brother Robert's stepdaughters, the sisters Penelope and Dorothy Devereux.
Like her husband, the Countess was a convinced Protestant with Puritan leanings.
After the Earl of Huntingdon's death in 1595 she lived at court and became one of the closest friends of the old Queen.
When young, she had suffered from Elizabeth's distrust of her husband's loyalty, which was nourished by his descent from the House of Plantagenet.
Katherine, Countess of Huntingdon died at Chelsea, London on 14 August 1620, and was buried in her mother's tomb at Chelsea Old Church.
Anne Stafford, Countess of Huntingdon
Anne Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon(" née" Lady Anne Stafford)( c. 1483–1544) was the daughter of Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, and Lady Katherine Woodville.
She was the wife of Sir Walter Herbert, and George Hastings, 1st Earl of Huntingdon, and served in the household of King Henry VIII's daughter, the future Queen Mary I.
Francis Hastings, 2nd Earl of Huntingdon
Francis Hastings, 2nd Earl of Huntingdon, KG( 151420 June 1561) was the eldest son of George Hastings, 1st Earl of Huntingdon and Anne Stafford, Countess of Huntingdon, the ex-mistress of Henry VIII.
His maternal first cousins included Henry Stafford, 1st Baron Stafford and Henry Radclyffe, 2nd Earl of Sussex.
He was born in Ashby- de- la- Zouch, Leicestershire.
He was tutored by John Leland during his youth.
His mother, Anne Stafford, Countess of Huntingdon had an affair with Henry VIII in 1510, the discovery of which led her husband to remove her to a convent and her brother to leave court in a rage, refusing to stay under Henry's roof.
As late as 1513, Anne was the courtier who received the second most expensive New Year's gift from Henry, indicating that their relationship continued until then.
However, there are no contemporary references to the possibility of Francis being an illegitimate son of the Tudor monarch.
His father was created the first Earl of Huntingdon by Henry VIII of England on 3 November 1529.
He was awarded stewardship over two abbeys in 1530.
Kaya Alp
Kaya Alp was, according to Ottoman tradition, the son of Kızıl Buğa and the father of Suleyman Shah, who was, in turn, the grandfather of Ertuğrul, and the great grandfather of the Ottoman Empire founder, Osman I.
John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland
John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland (1504 – 22 August 1553) was an English general, admiral, and politician, who led the government of the young King Edward VI from 1550 until 1553, and unsuccessfully tried to install Lady Jane Grey on the English throne after the King's death.
The son of Edmund Dudley, a minister of Henry VII executed by Henry VIII, John Dudley became the ward of Sir Edward Guildford at the age of seven.
Dudley grew up in Guildford's household together with his future wife, Guildford's daughter Jane, with whom he was to have 13 children.
Dudley served as Vice-Admiral and Lord Admiral from 1537 until 1547, during which time he set novel standards of navy organisation and was an innovative commander at sea.
He also developed a strong interest in overseas exploration.
Dudley took part in the 1544 campaigns in Scotland and France and was one of Henry VIII's intimates in the last years of the reign.
He was also a leader of the religious reform party at court.
In 1547 Dudley was created Earl of Warwick and, with the Duke of Somerset, England's Lord Protector, distinguished himself in the renewed Scottish war at the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh.
During the country-wide uprisings of 1549 Dudley put down Kett's Rebellion in Norfolk.
Convinced of the Protector's incompetence, he and other privy councillors forced Somerset out of office in October 1549.
Having averted a conservative reaction in religion and a plot to destroy him alongside Somerset, Dudley emerged in early 1550 as "de facto" regent for the 12-year-old Edward VI.
He reconciled himself with Somerset, who nevertheless soon began to intrigue against him and his policies.
Somerset was executed on largely fabricated charges, three months after Dudley had been raised to the Dukedom of Northumberland in October 1551.
As Lord President of the Council, Dudley headed a distinctly conciliar government and sought to introduce the adolescent King into business.
Taking over an almost bankrupt administration, he ended the costly wars with France and Scotland and tackled finances in ways that led to some economic recovery.
To prevent further uprisings he introduced countrywide policing on a local basis, appointing Lord-Lieutenants who were in close contact with the central authority.
Dudley's religious policy was—in accordance with Edward's proclivities—decidedly Protestant, further enforcing the English Reformation and promoting radical reformers to high Church positions.
The 15-year-old King fell ill in early 1553 and excluded his half-sisters, Mary and Elizabeth, whom he regarded as illegitimate, from the succession, designating non-existent, hypothetical male heirs.
As his death approached, Edward changed his will so that his Protestant cousin Jane Grey, Northumberland's daughter-in-law, could inherit the Crown.
To what extent the Duke influenced this scheme is uncertain.
The traditional view is that it was Northumberland's plot to maintain his power by placing his family on the throne.
Many historians see the project as genuinely Edward's, enforced by Dudley after the King's death.
The Duke did not prepare well for this occasion.
Having marched to East Anglia to capture Mary, he surrendered on hearing that the Privy Council had changed sides and proclaimed Mary as queen.
Convicted of high treason, Northumberland returned to Catholicism and abjured the Protestant faith before his execution.
Having secured the contempt of both religious camps, popularly hated, and a natural scapegoat, he became the "wicked Duke"—in contrast to his predecessor Somerset, the "good Duke".
Only since the 1970s has he also been seen as a Tudor Crown servant: self-serving, inherently loyal to the incumbent monarch, and an able statesman in difficult times.
Elizabeth Rawdon, Countess of Moira
Elizabeth Rawdon, Countess of Moira in the Peerage of Ireland (23 March 1731 – 11 April 1808) was a literary patron and antiquarian; she also held five English peerages in her own right.
She was born at Donington Park, Leicestershire, England and died at Moira, County Down, Ireland.
Born as Elizabeth Hastings, she was the daughter of Theophilus Hastings, 9th Earl of Huntingdon and Selina Shirley, founder of the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion religious denomination.
Elizabeth was 16th Baroness Botreaux and 15th Baroness Hungerford, inheriting the titles on the death of her brother Francis Hastings, 10th Earl of Huntingdon.
She was the third wife of John Rawdon, 1st Earl of Moira.
Elizabeth Stanley, Countess of Huntingdon
Elizabeth Stanley, Countess of Huntingdon (6 January 1588 – 20 January 1633) was an English noblewoman and writer who was third in line of succession to the English throne.
She was the wife of Henry Hastings, 5th Earl of Huntingdon.
She was also styled Lady Hastings of Hungerford and Lady Botreaux as her husband held both of these titles in addition to the Earl of Huntingdon.
Simon II de Senlis, Earl of Huntingdon-Northampton
Simon II de Senlis, 4th Earl of the Honour of Huntingdon and Northampton( c. 1098 – 1153) was an Anglo- Norman nobleman.
He was the son of Simon I de Senlis, Earl of Huntingdon- Northampton and Maud, Countess of Huntingdon.
He married Isabel, daughter of Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester.
He was prominent in The Anarchy, fighting for Stephen of England in 1141 at the Battle of Lincoln.
He continued to support Stephen's side; R. H.
C. Davis calls him' staunch' and' consistently loyal' and surmises that Simon calculated that if the Empress Matilda won, his earldom of Northampton would be taken over by David of Scotland.
Simon was rewarded by becoming Earl of Huntingdon.
He died in 1153 just before Henry II of England took over, whereupon the King restored the Earldom of Huntingdon- Northampton to his ally Malcolm IV of Scotland
