== Biography ==Daughter of Richard Argall, Esq., and Lady Mary Scott, Dame Elizabeth Argall descended from King William I, the Conqueror, and the Plantagenant Kings of England & France (Eleanor of Aquitaine & Henry II). Her family's noble lineage could be traced back to Holy Roman Emperor (800 CE) Charlemagne. She was also known as "Elizabeth Scott Argall" and was born in Scott's Hall (aka Scot's Hall), near Ashford, Kent, England.
Dame Elizabeth Argall was born in Scott's Hall, in the village of Smeeth (near Ashford), Kent, England, in 1570. She grew up in the south-east English county of Kent, where her parents were large landowners and of the English gentry-level aristocracy. Scott's Hall had been transformed by her grandfather, Sir Reginald Scott, MP, into "one of the most splendid houses in Kent" and in the 17th Century it was said that "''one could ride from Scot's Hall to London [about 50 miles] without leaving Scott property''". "The Diary of Samuel Pepys," 1665, cited on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scot%27s_Hall Scot's Hall article on Wikipedia]
Elizabeth Argall was just 15 years old when she married Sir. Edward Filmer, of a neighboring landowning-gentry family in Kent. He inherited Little Charlton Manor there. Elizabeth Argall & Edward Filmer were married in the Anglican church in Lenham, Kent, England. By all accounts, their nearly-44 year marriage was happy, prosperous and fruitful. The couple had 18 children: 9 sons & 9 daughters, most of whom survived to maturity.

Sir Edward Filmer was an influential jurist (barrister) and courtier in the late Elizabethan era and during the reign of King James I. He was knighted on James' coronation in 1603. The Filmers' primary residence was "College House" in Maidstone, Kent, and they also had secondary residences in London and in East Sutton, Kent. Sir Edward Filmer died on November 2, 1629, at his Little Charlton Manor, East Sutton, Kent. His wife, Dame Elizabeth Argall Filmer, survived him, dying at their Maidstone residence on August 9, 1638. They are buried together in a sumptuous marble tomb at the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, East Sutton, Maidstone Borough, Kent, England. The tomb includes magnificent brass etchings of the Argall-Filmer family that depicts all 18 of their children.

== Biography =='''Elizabeth Argall''' was born about 1570, probably in East Sutton, Kent, England.Birth c. 1570 is estimated (see [[#Research Notes|Research Notes, above]]).

== Research Notes ==
:'''Estimated dates'''* Birth: about 1570 (based on ? - the unsourced statement that she was 15 when she married?). FindAGrave has 1575 but does not give a source for it, nor for saying that she was 62-63 when she died.} for Elizabeth Argall (accessed 17 November 2019). Birth/age at death are not sourced.* Marriage: 1585 is based on their monument brass, which says they lived together 44 years (Edward died in 1629).:: Perhaps the brass was being literal. If she were married young, it was not uncommon for a young English wife to live with her husband but not consummate the marriage until she was older. The biography of their son, Robert, in the Oxford Dictionary for National Biography says he was "...born in East Sutton, Kent, almost certainly in 1588, the eldest of the eighteen children of Sir Edward Filmer (1566–1629), a country gentleman, and his wife, Elizabeth (c.1570–1638), daughter of Richard Argall (or Argol)..."Glenn Burgess, "[https://doi.org/10.1093/ref:odnb/9424 Filmer, Sir Robert](1588?–1653)", ''Oxford Dictionary for National Biography'' (Extract accessed 18 November 2019).

== Biography ==Daughter of Richard Argall, Esq., and Lady Mary Scott, Dame Elizabeth Argall descended from King William I, the Conqueror, and the Plantagenant Kings of England & France (Eleanor of Aquitaine & Henry II). Her family's noble lineage could be traced back to Holy Roman Emperor (800 CE) Charlemagne. She was also known as "Elizabeth Scott Argall" and was born in Scott's Hall (aka Scot's Hall), near Ashford, Kent, England.
Dame Elizabeth Argall was born in Scott's Hall, in the village of Smeeth (near Ashford), Kent, England, in 1570. She grew up in the south-east English county of Kent, where her parents were large landowners and of the English gentry-level aristocracy. Scott's Hall had been transformed by her grandfather, Sir Reginald Scott, MP, into "one of the most splendid houses in Kent" and in the 17th Century it was said that "''one could ride from Scot's Hall to London [about 50 miles] without leaving Scott property''". "The Diary of Samuel Pepys," 1665, cited on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scot%27s_Hall Scot's Hall article on Wikipedia]
Elizabeth Argall was just 15 years old when she married Sir. Edward Filmer, of a neighboring landowning-gentry family in Kent. He inherited Little Charlton Manor there. Elizabeth Argall & Edward Filmer were married in the Anglican church in Lenham, Kent, England. By all accounts, their nearly-44 year marriage was happy, prosperous and fruitful. The couple had 18 children: 9 sons & 9 daughters, most of whom survived to maturity.

Sir Edward Filmer was an influential jurist (barrister) and courtier in the late Elizabethan era and during the reign of King James I. He was knighted on James' coronation in 1603. The Filmers' primary residence was "College House" in Maidstone, Kent, and they also had secondary residences in London and in East Sutton, Kent. Sir Edward Filmer died on November 2, 1629, at his Little Charlton Manor, East Sutton, Kent. His wife, Dame Elizabeth Argall Filmer, survived him, dying at their Maidstone residence on August 9, 1638. They are buried together in a sumptuous marble tomb at the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, East Sutton, Maidstone Borough, Kent, England. The tomb includes magnificent brass etchings of the Argall-Filmer family that depicts all 18 of their children.

== Research Notes ==
:'''Estimated dates'''* Birth: about 1570 (based on ? - the unsourced statement that she was 15 when she married?). FindAGrave has 1575 but does not give a source for it, nor for saying that she was 62-63 when she died.} for Elizabeth Argall (accessed 17 November 2019). Birth/age at death are not sourced.* Marriage: 1585 is based on their monument brass, which says they lived together 44 years (Edward died in 1629).:: Perhaps the brass was being literal. If she were married young, it was not uncommon for a young English wife to live with her husband but not consummate the marriage until she was older. The biography of their son, Robert, in the Oxford Dictionary for National Biography says he was "...born in East Sutton, Kent, almost certainly in 1588, the eldest of the eighteen children of Sir Edward Filmer (1566–1629), a country gentleman, and his wife, Elizabeth (c.1570–1638), daughter of Richard Argall (or Argol)..."Glenn Burgess, "[https://doi.org/10.1093/ref:odnb/9424 Filmer, Sir Robert](1588?–1653)", ''Oxford Dictionary for National Biography'' (Extract accessed 18 November 2019).
