Francis, Lord Talbot (died 1582), who married Anne Herbert, a daughter of the earl of Pembroke, but had no children. "Lord Talbot" was a courtesy title, being one of his father's lesser titles. Anne was a niece of Catherine Parr, sixth Queen to King Henry VIII.

The countess died when her children were still young, and was buried in the family vault in Sheffield on 16 January 1567.[2] A few months later, her widower began a courtship of their friend and neighbour, the thrice-widowed Bess of Hardwick,[1] which culminated in their marriage.
