In a Court Roll of 1545 (5M53/932) the Court Minutes the Manor of Husseys is listed with many others in a marriage settlement between Mary Wriothesley and Sir Richard Lyster, Chief Baron of the King’s Exchequer who held this manor for a further ten years when on the 21st. day of December in the second and third years of the reigns of the late King and Queen (Philip and Mary, 1555), he sold Husseys to John Gifford of Northall (Northolt) in the County of Middlesex.
The Earl of Southampton seems to have had his full pardon by that time. His mother had long been failing and was now very ill; she lived over six months after.

Her will was drawn up on 1st July, I574* and she died not long afterwards; the will was proved on 26th July. She left certain leases to her son, Henry, Earl of Southampton, failing whom to his son, Lord Harry Wriothesley, failing whom to the Lady Mary Wriothesley, failing whom to her own daughters. Her household stuff was to go in the same way. She left liberal shares of her cattle and sheep to her son-in-law, Cornwallys, and his wife Katharine, the rest to her son. Certain leases were left directly to her grandson, failing whom to his sister Mary. Her own daughter, Mabel, was to have for life Longlands and Gravelpits, lately parcel of the possessions of the monastery of Clerkenwell, after her to Robert Cornwallys, her daughter's son.

Her son Henry to be sole executor; overseers, Mr Justice Manwood and Mr Baver of Lincoln's Inn, who are to have .10 a year for their trouble.
Her son buried her at Titchfield, but I have found no account of the proceedings. Beyond his legacies, the Earl would step into her jointures and dwelling-houses, and his position in the county would be strengthened. (Her children:)

Same Mary??
10" S. III. JUNE 10, 1905. NOTES AND QUERIES
William Shelley's first wife was Mary (not, as Berry, in his 'Sussex Genealogies,' p. 62, says, Margaret), one of the daughters of
Thomas Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton. Machyn, in his 'Diary,' under the year 1561, thus refers to her funeral :- " The xiij day of Desember was bered at sant Katheryns-chryst chyrche my lade Lyster, sum-tyme the wyff of master Shelley of Sussex, and the dowther of the erle of Sowthamtun late lord chanseler of Engeland -Wresseley, with a harord of armes and a ij dosen of skochyons of armes. "
From: 'Diary: 1561 (July - Dec)', The Diary of Henry Machyn: Citizen and Merchant-Taylor of London (1550-1563) (1848), pp. 262-274. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=45528 Date accessed: 13 February 2011.
What this certainly seems to imply-viz that William Shelley was her first husband, and that she subsequently married Richard Lyster, son of Sir Michael Lyster, and grandson of the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench - is definitely asserted in Banks's ' Extinct Baronage of England ' (iii. G72) and 'D.N.B.' (lxiii. 152). However, she bore Richard Lyster a son in 1556 (Berry's 'Hants Genealogies,' p. 240), and so, on the above theory, must have(l) been married to William
Shelley, and (2) had her marriage annulled, and (3) remarried before William Shelley was eighteen, which seems improbable. Can we hold, as Machyn's editor apparently does, that William Shelley was not her first, but her second husband ?
The Wriothesley monument, commemorating the first earl and countess of Southampton, and their son the second earl, was set up in accordance with the will of the latter, proved 7 February, 1582, by which the enormous sum of £1,000 was left for the making of 'two faire monuments' in the 'chapel of the parish church of Tichell, co. Southampton.' The directions for two monuments were however ignored, and one only was made, on which the three alabaster effigies rest. It is a raised rectangular tomb, with projecting pilasters at the angles, which carry tall obelisks; the central part of the tomb is raised some feet above the rest, and on it lies the effigy of Jane countess of Southampton, 1574, that of her husband the first earl, 1551, lying at a lower level on the north, and that of her son the second earl, 1582, in like manner on the south. The whole is of alabaster and marble most elaborately and beautifully worked, carved, and panelled, the inscriptions being on black marble panels at the feet of the three effigies. In the vault beneath are also buried Henry third earl of Southampton and his son James Wriothesley, 1624, and the fourth and last earl, Thomas, 1667.

Page 1. Thomas Wriothesley, earl of Southampton. The first person noticed by our funereal chronicler was one of the most remarkable men of his age: one who had attained the summit of the law, and who was aspiring to the summit of the state. The historian Carte attributes his death to mortified ambition, and so does Lord Campbell in his recent Lives of the Chancellors: on this part of his history see the Archæologia, vol. xxx. p. 468.
It should be remarked that, though the body of the earl of Southampton was at first buried in Saint Andrew's Holborn, it was afterwards removed to Tichfield in Hampshire, where a sumptuous monument with his effigy still exists. There is a fine portrait of him in Chamberlain's Holbein Heads.

......1569, when the Earl also made a will. At that time he had a daughter, his only and well-beloved child, the Lady Jane, and for the great affection he bore to her he desired at once to settle an inheritance on her, for her advance-
ment in marriage. He also left a legacy to the Lady Mabel, his sister, and a similar legacy to Michael Lyster, the son of his sister, the Lady Mary, deceased, sometime the wife of Richard Lyster, also deceased;
