Elizabeth Paulet
Elizabeth Blount was born in Burton upon Trent, where her family was prominent.[1][2] Her parents were the M.P. Walter Blount of Nether Hall, Burton and later of Blount's Hall, Staffordshire, and his wife Margaret or Mary.[3][4] Her first marriage was to Anthony Beresford of Thorpe, Derbyshire. She then married Sir Thomas Pope, a wealthy landowner who founded Trinity College, Oxford. Pope's death left Elizabeth a rich widow and she afterwards married Sir Hugh Paulet.[4] She died in 1593 and was buried, with Thomas Pope and his second wife Margaret, in a tomb she had built in the chapel at Trinity College.[5]: 47
