Lady Anne Clifford, 14th Baroness de Clifford

I will be adding to a couple of sections on this Article page; below I have labeled the additions accordingly.

Marriages & progeny:

Under the First Marriage, after the sentence "A more sympathetic view..." : Her disagreement with her husband over her inheritance claims proved another source of difficulty within their marriage. Lord Dorset believed she should settle the inheritance case rather than pursue through the courts. In disagreeing with and defying her husband's wishes, Lady Anne was breaking with the norm of obedience to her husband. In 1618, her husband, her uncle and cousin apparently agreed to the settlement without the knowledge or consent of Lady Anne.

Landowner (I was considering adding a new section labeled as such, or adding this to "Later Life and Death") :

After inheriting her fathers estates, by way of outliving the male heirs, Lady Anne became a wealthy landowner. She was heavily involved with her tenants to the point of filing law suits against her tenants. This was to be the demeanor of her power in later life, that of a direct landowner calling upon the traditions of the baronial class.
