Notities over Margaret Donington

Countess of Bath
She was an English Tudor noblewoman. She is notable for the three high-profile and advantageous marriages she secured during her lifetime, and for her success in arranging socially impressive marriages for many of her children. Through her descendants she is common ancestor of many of the noble families of England.
Through her first marriage she became the owner of Hengrave Hall, where she installed a tomb and stained glass window to the memory of her three husbands, who all predeceased her. She is buried in Hengrave Church.
On 10 November 1541 Richard Long obtained the marriage settlement of Margaret Donnington, only daughter of John Donnington of Stoke Newington in Middlesex, and widow of Sir Thomas Kitson of Hengrave Hall, Suffolk. They had one son, Henry, to whom the King stood as godfather in 1544, and three daughters, Jane, Katherine and Mary. His granddaughter Elizabeth married William Russell, 1st Baron Russell of Thornhaugh.
Margaret's marriage to the courtier Sir Richard Long took place in 1540, a few months after the death of her first husband.
Children:
Jane Long (1541-1562)
Mary Long (born 1543)
Henry Long (1544-1573), godson of Henry VIII of England. He married Dorothy Clark, and their daughter, Elizabeth, married William Russell, 1st Baron Russell of Thornhaugh and is an ancestor of the Dukes of Bedford.
Catherine Long (born 1546), married Edward Fisher in 1561.

His Widow married John Bourchier, 2nd Earl of Bath, on 11 December 1548.
Margaret Donnington was a strong-minded lady who insisted that at the same time as her marriage to Bourchier, his son and heir should marry her own daughter Frances Kitson. The double marriage took place at Hengrave on 11 December 1548. Thus the 2nd Earl's eldest son from his 2nd marriage to Eleanor Manners, John Bourchier, Lord FitzWarin (who predeceased his father), married his own step-sister, Francesca Kitson, and was by her the father of William Bourchier, 3rd Earl of Bath.

The Earl and Countess of Bath made Hengrave Hall their primary residence. The couple had two daughters:
Lady Susanna Bourchier
Lady Bridget Bourchier, who married Thomas Price.
Countess Margaret died on 20 December 1561 at Stoke Newington and was buried at Hengrave on 12 January 1562. Wikipedia
