  [S42] Letters and Papers of the Verney Family, John Bruce, (London: John Boyer Nichols and Sons, 1853), 56. "[Edmund Verney] married Anne, the only daughter of Francis Talbot, the fifth earl of Shrewsbury of the second creation. The marriage was an unfortunate one. Ere long we find that the bride had left her husband and had returned to her paternal home. Of the causes of their separation we are unin formed. One point of disagreement alone appears, and that for any thing we know was not so directly between the lady and her hus band, as between lord Bray and his wife's father. Lord Shrewsbury was a staunch opponent of the Reformation. He not only ad hered stoutly to queen Mary, following her willingly in all her measures for replacing the bonds of Rome, but, with the spirit of a Talbot and with the solemnity of a dying man, he stood amongst the lay peers alone (with the exception of lord Montague), in oppo sition to the measures for again casting-off the papal supremacy, which were introduced into the house of lords in the first parliament of queen Elizabeth."
