DE VERE, Edward 17th Earl of Oxford 2
User ID: C272. Edward married Anne CECIL in December 1571.1 (Anne CECIL was born in 1556 1 and died in 1588 1.) Marriage Notes: "In 1570 he (Edward de Vere) served in a military campaign in Scotland under the Earl of Sussex and by 1571 was reported as a leading luminary of the Court and, for a time, a favourite of Queen Elizabeth. In December 1571 he married Anne Cecil, aged fifteen, daughter of his guardian. This was a dynastic marriage where all the advantage accrued to Cecil who, ennobled as Baron Burghley, had reduced the social gap between himself and the young Earl." |
