Margaret Wotton, Marchioness of Dorset

Margaret Wotton, Marchioness of Dorset

Margaret Wotton, Marchioness of Dorset (1485 – 1541) was the second wife of Thomas Grey, Marquess of Dorset, and the mother of his children, including Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk, with whom she engaged in many quarrels during his minority over money and his allowance. Her lack of generosity to Henry shocked her peers as unmotherly, and inappropriate behaviour toward a high-ranking nobleman, relative of King Henry VIII of England.

In 1534, Wotton was compelled to answer the charges that she was an "unnatural mother".

On 10 September 1533, Wotton stood as one of the godmothers of the future Queen Elizabeth I of England. She was the subject of two portraits by Hans Holbein the Younger. One of her many grandchildren was Lady Jane Grey.
