Sir William Armine, 2nd Baronet

Family

• Susan married Lord Belasyse's only son, Sir Henry Belasyse by his first wife Jane Boteler: her husband predeceased his father, leaving a son Henry, 2nd Baron. In 1674 Susan was created Baroness Belasyse of Osgodby in her own right. She remarried James Fortrey of Fortreys Hall, Cambridgeshire, who outlived her. As her son predeceased her, her title became extinct on her death in 1713. She was described as a woman of much life and vivacity, but very little beauty. The future James II of England was informally engaged to her after his first wife's death, but his brother Charles II of England forbade the marriage, on the ground that James had already damaged the monarchy by marrying a non-royal wife, Anne Hyde: "it was too much that he had played the fool once, and it was not to be done a second time."
• Anne married firstly Sir Thomas Wodehouse, by whom she had at least two children, including Sir John Wodehouse, 4th Baronet. She married secondly Thomas Crew, 2nd Baron Crew, by whom she had four daughters. She married thirdly Arthur Herbert, 1st Earl of Torrington. She died in 1719.
