Mary Knollys (1541 - 1602) was born in Rotherfield Greys, Oxfordshire

Her father was Sir Francis Knollys, a gentleman pensioner of Henry VIII. Her mother was Lady Catherine Carey, the daughter of Lady Mary Boleyn. This makes Mary, the first cousin once removed, of Elizabeth I of England. She grew up on her father's country estate at Greys Court in Rotherfield Greys and at his town house in nearby Reading with her other 13 brothers and sisters.
