Married Sir Francis WILLOUGHBY

Sir Francis's marriage with Elizabeth Littleton was stormy, and not helped by a large number of retainers who, according to Cassandra Willoughby in her history of the family, interfered in the couple's affairs. Their problems were made public by Francis's sister Margaret, Lady Arundell, who had always disapproved of the match. After some violent clashes in 1578 and 1579, the couple separated, before reconciling in 1588.
