Lady Frances was the eldest daughter of King Henry VIIIs younger sister, Mary. Jane had two younger sisters, Lady Catherine and Lady Mary through their mother, the three sisters were greatgranddaughters of Henry VII, grandnieces of Henry VIII, and first cousins once removed of Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I.
