Notes: The first ancestor of the Lovells of Barton Bendish mentioned in The Visitations of Norfolk, Acelow Lovell, is said to be descendent of Sir William Lovell, knight, Count of Eu, who was slain in Normandy at the time of Henry I. A William Lovell was indeed an ancestor of the Lovells of Titchmarsh. He was the first to have held land in England, interestingly also in Norfolk, but he was no count of Eu. It is more likely that the compilers of the genealogy intended to enhance the status of their family by including a count of Eu as their illustrious ancestor, and several counts of Eu were indeed called William. According to the Visitations Thomas Lovell, "the first that did inhabit in Norfolk" married the daughter and coheiress of John Bendish of Barton Bendish and allegedly accompanied Richard I on his crusade. William Lovell's son, another William, was probably also a participant of this crusade. One can hypothesise that Thomas Lovell was a younger brother of this second William Lovell. If this was the case (and that is a big if) there is no evidence that the two families stayed in touch in any way.

Died: BEF 1606

Notes: Mary Roper, although she seems to have been christened Jane, she was known as Mary. Lady Lovell was a well-known recusant. She was present at a raid in London on 21 Jul 1599. In 1606 she traveled to Spa in the Spanish Netherlands, a notorious haunt of English Catholics in exile. In 1608/9 she was living in the English Benedictine convent in Brussels but left there with the intention of founding a Benedictine convent in Louvain. This apparently did not happen. In late 1611, when her sister Elizabeth, Lady Vaux, was arrested in England, she was living in Brussels and went to Archduke Albert to beg him to intercede with King James I. He did, but it had no effect. In 1616, Mary was attempting to found a Carmelite convent in Liège. In 1619, her donation of £1600 finally led to the foundation of a Carmelite convent in Antwerp. For the next few years she was involved in frequent disputes over the way the convent was being run, but she also provided further funding and even went to England to solicit more donations. By 1625 she was seeking to found a Bernardine cloister at Bruges, but her plans were still incomplete when she died. Her daughter, Christina, was a Benedictine nun at Brussels.
