From [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Hungerford,_1st_Baron_Hungerford_of_Heytesbury Wikipedia]:

Hungerford left two sons,[14] and two daughters, all apparently by his third wife ... His treatment of Elizabeth was remarkable for its brutality. In an appeal for protection which she addressed to Thomas Cromwell in about 1536,[12] she asserted that he kept her incarcerated at Farleigh for three or four years, made some fruitless attempts to divorce her, and endeavoured on several occasions to poison her.[13] After Hungerford's execution, she became the second wife of Sir Robert Throckmorton(d.1581).[9]

Together with Robert she had four daughters; Muriel (who would later have a son, Francis Tresham, one of the members of the Gun Powder Plot), Anne, Elizabeth and Temperance.
