Biography

Anne was a daughter of Sir William Dormer by his first wife, Mary, daughter of Sir William Sidney and Anne (née Pakenham).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn She was the sister of Jane Dormer, a lady in waiting to Queen Mary I, and later wife of the Duke of Feria.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Both Anne and Jane were prominent recusants.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1558 Queen Mary gave permission for Sir Walter Hungerford, who had earlier been married to the Queen's Maid of Honour, Anne Basset, to marry Anne Dormer as his second wife.Шаблон:Sfn In 1568 Hungerford sued for divorce, alleging that his wife had tried to poison him some years earlier, and that she had committed adultery with William Darrell (of Littlecote, Wiltshire),Шаблон:Sfn and had had a child by him.Шаблон:Sfn

Hungerford failed to prove the allegations in court, and subsequently spent three years in Fleet Prison for his refusal to support his wife or to pay the £250 in costs awarded against him in the divorce suit.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Two letters from Lady Hungerford, written in 1570, speak of her impoverished circumstances.Шаблон:Sfn Through the offices of the Earl of Leicester, Lady Hungerford obtained licence in 1571 to visit her dying grandmother, Jane Dormer (née Newdigate), who was living in the English Catholic expatriate community at Louvain.Шаблон:Sfn She never returned to England, choosing to remain in Belgium herself. On 29 March 1586,[1] she wrote from Namur to Sir Francis Walsingham, requesting that he protect her daughters from her husband's attempts to disinherit them.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

In his will, dated 14 November 1595, Hungerford left two farms to his mistress, Margery Bright, and the residue of his estate to his half brother, Sir Edward Hungerford,Шаблон:Sfn with remainder to the [male] heirs ... of 'any woman' he [Edward] should 'afterwards marry'.Шаблон:Sfn After making his will, having heard rumours that his wife was dead, Hungerford married Margery Bright.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Sir Walter Hungerford died in December 1596 in Farleigh Hungerford Somerset, and was succeeded by his half brother, who was sued by both Lady Anne Hungerford and Margery Bright, for dower.
