In bold, under her name, DOB is given as 1524.

Immediately under "Biography," DOB is 1509.

Probably neither date is "correct." There is no birth/baptism record for her, and we only know she was married before February 1539 and died in 1555. So both dates are probably estimates of some sort. Perhaps one of the profile managers will choose an estimate based on her approximate marriage date.

The 1509 date is not possible based upon her mother's listed date of birth (1506) so I have changed the dates to be the same and estimated. Agree with Bobbie that both dates are probably incorrect, but at least the 1524 date is "feasible".
