Who's Who of Tudor Women:
DOROTHY WROUGHTON (c.1548-1616)
Dorothy Wroughton was the daughter of Sir William Wroughton of Broad Hinton, Wiltshire and Eleanor Lewknor. In 1566, she married Sir John Thynne of Longleat (1512/13-May 21, 1580) as his second wife. Queen Elizabeth visited them there en route to Bristol in 1575. Dorothy had eight children by Thynne, including Egremont, Henry, Charles, Edward, and William. As a widow, Dorothy was at odds with her eldest stepson, the second John Thynne. According to Raleigh Trevelyan's biography of Sir Walter Raleigh, Dorothy so terrified John's young wife, Joan Hayward, that Joan once fled Longleat in the middle of the night. Dorothy's second husband was Carew Raleigh (c.1550-1625/6), older brother of Sir Walter. He had been her first husband’s gentleman of the horse. The Raleighs settled at Downton, Wiltshire, Their children were Gilbert, Walter (1586-1646), George, and a daughter.
