Daughters
Margaret Mundy of Markeaton, who married firstly Nicholas Jennings, a member of the
Worshipful Company of Skinners and a
Sheriff and Alderman of the
City of London; secondly, as his third wife,
Edmund Howard,
Lord Deputy of Calais, younger son of the Duke of Norfolk and therefore became stepmother to Queen Katherine Howard, fifth wife of King Henry VIII by whom she had no children; and thirdly Henry Mannox. Although Steinman conjectured that Margaret Mundy's third husband was the Henry Mannox, executed in 1541, who had been music master to
Katherine Howard in her youth, and had been involved in sexual indiscretions with her which later contributed to her downfall,[16] Bindoff established that Margaret Mundy's third husband, Henry Mannox, made his will on 18 March 1564, in which he disinherited both Margaret and his son.[17] Margaret (née Mundy) was buried at
Streatham, Surrey, on 22 January 1565.[18][7]
Mildred Mundy of Markeaton, who married, by dispensation dated 27 June 1538, Sir John Harleston (18 May 1511 – 28 February 1569) of
South Ockendon, Essex.[19][7]
Elizabeth Mundy of Markeaton, who married Sir John Tyrrell (died 1574) son of
James Tyrrell of
Gipping, Suffolk. She is best known for allegedly confessing to the murders of the Princes in the Tower under
Richard of York's orders.[7]
Anne Mundy of Markeaton, who married Thomas Darcy (c. 1511 – 1557) of
Tolleshunt Darcy, Essex.[7]
