Lucy was sent to the court of Henry VIII where she served his fifth consort, Queen Catherine Howard as a Maid of Honour. In 1542, when the Queen was awaiting execution for High Treason after having been found guilty of adultery, Lucy was mentioned in a letter by Imperial Ambassador Eustace Chapuys to his master Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor as having been one of the three ladies in whom the King was showing a marked interest and was considering for his sixth wife.[citation needed]
However, in 1543, the King chose for his sixth consort, the Dowager Lady Latimer, Catherine Parr. After her marriage in 1545, Lucy was invited to become lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine as the new Lady Latimer. Lucy became part of the close knit circle around the queen.
Marriage and issueedit
In 1545, she married Queen Catherine Parr's stepson, John Neville, 4th Baron Latimer (c. 1520 – 22 April 1577), making her the new Baroness Latimer. Together they had four daughters who became co-heiresses to John and the barony of Latimer:
Elizabeth Neville (c. 1550 – 1630), married firstly Sir John Danvers of Dauntsey, by whom she had issue, she married secondly Sir Edmund Carey.
All of their daughter's first marriages above produced children.
Lord Latimer died without sons in 1577; his four daughters became his joint heiresses. The barony became abeyant until 1913, when its abeyance was terminated in favour of Latimer's distant descendant Francis Money-Coutts, 5th Baron Latymer.
Deathedit
Lucy died on 23 February 1583 and was buried in Hackney as she had requested in her will which was dated 16 November 1582.
