Shortly before 11 April 1526 Sir Edward Greville married his ward Elizabeth to his second son , Sir Fulke Greville ( bef . 1505 – 10 November 1559 ) of Beauchamps Court , Alcester . He did so because Elizabeth preferred Fulk over his older brother John . A manuscript dated 1644 entitled '' The Genealogie , Life and Death of Robert , Lord Brooke '' , then in the possession of the Earl of Warwick , describes their courtship : In 1542/3 Elizabeth 's husband , Fulke Greville , was knighted by Henry VIII for military service to the crown . He was High Sheriff of Warwickshire in 1543 and a member of Parliament from 1547 . He further distinguished himself along with forty men in the suppression of the Pilgrimage of Grace and served in campaigns in 1544 against France . He built his wife and family a new house at Beauchamp 's Court with stone reclaimed from Alcester Priory . Fulk died on 10 Nov 1559 . Elizabeth died 9 November 1562 and was buried beside her husband with a monumental inscription
