Biography
Elizabeth was born about 1560. She passed away on an unknown date, before her husband's death in 1617, as she is not mentioned in his will.
In Westminster Abbey there is a monument to her uncle, William Thynne, (d.14 March 1564) which Elizabeth's husband, John, had erected to his memory. The Latin inscription is translated:
Here lies William Thynne, Esq. brother of Sir John Thynne, knight, descended from the ancient family of the Bottevilles, who in his youth travelled to most parts of Europe, fought against the Scots at Musselburgh with undaunted courage. At length, enfeebled with age, he went to sleep in the Lord 14 March 1564. John Chamberlain of Prestbury, Esq., to his most dear kinsman, hath erected this monument. The day of death is the birthday of eternal life.
