Lady Catherine Killigrew
Lady Catherine Killigrew ( 1530 – 27 December 1583) was an English gentlewoman and scholar, the wife of Sir Henry Killigrew.
==Biography==
Catherine was the fourth daughter of Sir Anthony Cooke and Alice, daughter of Sir William Waldegrave. Her older sister Anne was the wife of Sir Nicholas Bacon. Catherine was said to have been proficient in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
Lady Catherine married Sir Henry on 4 November 1565. Sir John Harington, in the notes to his translation of ''Orlando Furioso'', has preserved some Latin lines in which she asked her sister Mildred, wife of Cecil, Lord Burghley, to use her influence to get her husband excused from going on an embassy to France. The verses were reprinted in Fuller's ''Worthies''.
On 21 December 1583 she gave birth to a stillborn child, and on 27 December she died. She was buried in the church of St. Thomas the Apostle, London. It was burnt down during the great fire of London, but Stow, in his ''Survey'', preserved the four Latin inscriptions on her monument, including one by herself and one by Andrew Melville.
