"When the King delayed over paying her jointure, Mary, quite reasonably, expected her father to back her up, since it was in the dynasty's interest that her status as a royal widow should be recognized. Yet six months later matters were no further forward, and Mary blamed her father for this. In a letter to him written in January 1537, she wrote that all she had received thus far from her father's suit was 'no effect but wordes.' She asked, as she had 'oftymes' asked before, that her father would 'grante me lewe to com up and sue myne owne caus...[I] do not dowt bewt wrapon the rygthe ther of hes hyeghns shuld be mowed to have compasyon on me.' In short, she did not believe her father had done his best for her, and she thought she would be more successful on her own, though she was careful to couch her letter in traditionally dutiful terms... Norfolk, indeed, was indignant, and wrote to Cromwell that 'in all my lif I never comoned w[ith] her in any seriouse cause or nowe, and wold not haue thought she had be suche as I fynde her, wich as I think is but to wise for a woman.'"

[In] 1527 Norfolk took a mistress. Elizabeth Holland, known as Bess, was the daughter of his household treasurer and chief steward John Holland. Holland came from gentry stock loosely related to John, Lord Hussey, a Lincolnshire courtier and diplomat who would be executed for his part in the Pilgrimage of Grace in 1537. Significantly, Bess became Norfolk’s mistress only after Elizabeth had given Norfolk an ‘heir and spare’ – their two sons, Henry and Thomas, were born c. 1517 and c. 1520. This cements the impression that Norfolk had made this marriage purely in the interests of procreation.
