Sir Henry (Beaufort) Somerset, 2nd Earl of Worcester, etc., in 1526. For his signal exploits performed in France in the wars in his father's lifetime he had been knighted, by Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. (In the book, "When Knighthood Was in Flower," this Charles Brandon marries Mary, sister of Henry VIII.) Henry Somerset accompanied the Princess Mary to France when she married 1st the King of France. Shortly after the death of his father, Henry was one of the commission for concluding a peace with the French, and departed this life Nov. 26, 1549, leaving many manors and much land in various counties. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Anthony Browne. (Wurts' Magna Charta, Part III, p. 568, says she was daughter of Thomas Browne, but Edmondson and Collins both give her as the daughter of Anthony, son of Thomas Browne. Burke's Dormant and Ext. Peerage also. E. E. W.)
