He married secondly by 1525[citation needed], Katherine, the daughter of Sir John St John of Bletsoe, Bedfordshire and the widow of Sir Griffith ap Rhys of Carmarthen. She was a lady in waiting to Anne of Cleves in 1540.[2] The diplomat Ralph Sadler admired Catherine's gravity, and in July 1543 advised Henry VIII to send her to Scotland to join the household of Mary, Queen of Scots at Stirling Castle, under a provision of the Treaty of Greenwich. This plan was cancelled by the War of the Rough Wooing.[3]
