Most of the following came from Wikipedia: Jane's father, the Earl of Surrey, was tried and convicted of treason at the Guildhall on 13 January 1547 and beheaded on Tower Hill on 19 January 1547. In 1548 his children were placed in the care of their aunt, Mary FitzRoy, who appointed the martyrologist, John Foxe, as their tutor. Under Foxe, Jane learned Latin and Greek to the level that she could "compete with the most learned men of the age."
In 1564 Jane Howard married Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland, who had succeeded to the earldom after his father's death on 10 February 1564.
The Countess hoped to arrange the marriage of her brother, Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, to Mary, Queen of Scots, and put them both on England's throne, and along with it, the Catholic religion would be restored in England. He was executed for treason in 1572 and she lived under house arrest for the rest of her life.
Marriage and Issue
On 28 August 1564, Jane Howard married Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland, the second but only surviving son of Henry Neville, 5th Earl of Westmorland, by his first wife, Anne Manners, the second daughter of Thomas Manners, 1st Earl of Rutland, by Eleanor Paston, daughter of Sir William Paston (died c. 20 September 1554). Jane and Charles were second cousins because Howard's grandmother, Lady Elizabeth Stafford was the sister of Lady Katherine, Neville's paternal grandmother. The couple had a son and four daughters:[11]
- Lord Neville (1569 — d. 21 Apr 1571), whose first name is unknown.
- Margaret Neville, who married Nicholas Pudsey
- Katherine Neville, who married Sir Thomas Grey of Chillingham, Northumberland, and died without issue.
- Anne Neville, who married Sir David Ingleby, a younger son of Sir William Ingleby of Ripley, Yorkshire, and died without male issue.
- Eleanor Neville, who died unmarried before 25 Jun 1604.
The Countess was buried on 30 Jun 1593 at Kenninghall, Norfolk.
