- Mary was heiress to more property than any single Hungerford had ever held. In 1488 under Henry VII the attainder of Sir Thomas and his father were reversed by Act of Parliament and the honours and lands were returned to Mary. Edward Lord Hastings secured custody of her and ensured her marriage to his son Edward before February 1481. Her lands and titles were to descend through the Hastings family (Earls of Huntingdon). After the death of Edward Lord Hastings she married Sir Richard Sacheverell in 1509.
- Sir Thomas left by Anne an only child, Mary, 4th Baroness Hungerford, who became the ward of William, Lord Hastings, and in 1480 married Sir Edward (afterwards Lord) Hastings, her guardian's son. The attainders on her father and grandfather were reversed in her favour in 1485, and her husband was summoned to Parliament as Lord Hungerford. George Hastings, 1st Earl of Huntingdon, was her son.[1]
- MARY HUNGERFORD (c.1468-before July 10, 1533)
Mary Hungerford was the daughter of Sir Thomas Hungerford of Chippenham, Rowden, Sheldon (etc.), Wiltshire (x. January 17, 1468/9) and Anne Percy (d. July 5, 1522). She was suo jure 5th baroness Botreaux through her great-grandmother, and 4th baroness Hungerford through her father and baroness Moleyns through her grandmother. Described as a "wealthy West Country heiress," she married Edward, 2nd baron Hastings (November 26, 1466-November 1506/7) c.1479. They had three children, Anne (c.1485-November 1550), George, 3rd baron (1486/7-March 24, 1544), and William. The History of Parliament calls Mary "a woman of aristocratic bearing" who "aroused unfavorable comment by using her own title in preferment to her late husband's." She shared both Hastings' "sports and his quarrels," the latter chiefly with the Grey family. On May 1, 1509, Mary wed her second husband, Sir Richard Sacheverell of Ratcliffe-upon-Soar, Nottinghamshire (before 1469-April 14, 1534). They lived, by 1517, in apartments within the College of St. Mary in the Newark, Leicester. The appointment of Lord George Grey as dean of the college led to a decade of petty quarrels. Lady Hungerford, according to Mary L. Robinson's essay, "Court Careers and County Quarrels," let her dogs run free in the chapel, organized bear-baitings on the grounds, and allowed her servants to be rude to Grey's supporters. The rivalry grew so heated that Lady Hungerford complained because it was no longer safe for women to walk in the woodlands adjacent to the town. By the spring of 1525, Lady Hungerford and her husband took an armed escort of nearly two hundred men any time they traveled outside of Leicester and men came to blows on a market Saturday in July. For more details see Robinson's essay in Charles Carlton, ed., State, Sovereigns & Society. Lady Hungerford and her second husband were both prominent at court. She was still living June 30, 1530 but had died before July 10, 1533. Mary was buried in the collegiate church of St. Mary in the Newark, Leicester, under a pillar in a chapel off the south transept.
