Susan Bertie, Countess of Kent
English noblewoman / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Susan Bertie (born 1554) was the daughter of Catherine, Duchess of Suffolk, née Willoughby, by her second husband, Richard Bertie.[1] Susan was the noblewoman memorialized by poet Emilia Lanier (née Aemilia Bassano) at the beginning of the Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum (1611) as the "daughter of the Duchess of Suffolk."[2] At sixteen years of age, Susan Bertie married Reginald Grey of Wrest, who was later restored as the fifth Earl of Kent following her mother's intervention.[3] Widowed at age nineteen, Susan, Dowager Countess of Kent, married Sir John Wingfield in 1581 at age twenty-seven.[4]
