Notes for Walburg Brereton
DNB calls her Werburga and Smyth calls her Warburgh, as does the Cheshire 1580 visitation. So, Oct 2003, I think she gets changed from a forename of Margery. Ormerod calls her Werburga and says she m. (1) Sir Francis Cheney.

At the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520 as a Knight's wife in the queen's retinue.
