Sir Fulke Greville of Beauchamp's Court was the second son of Sir Edward Greville of Milcote and Anne Denton. His father arranged a marriage between Fulke's older brother and the beautiful heiress Elizabeth Willoughby. Elizabeth surprised everyone by expressing her preference for the younger son Fulke, and Sir Edward agreed to the match. Fulke married Elizabeth Willoughby, and they had seven sons and eight daughters. In time, Elizabeth received her inheritance, and the Greville's lived in what was considered to be the utmost of luxury at that time. Sir Fulke was active in local administration; he served with 40 men in the suppression of the Pilgrimage of Grace and in the army against France in 1544 as part of the rearguard. He attended the reception of Anne of Cleves and the funeral of Henry VIII. His standing in his shire is reflected in his election as one of its knights, and usually as the senior, to four Parliaments, more than any other of its gentlemen achieved. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/39852272/fulke-greville [S984] Heritage Consulting, Millennium File, (Name: Ancestry.com Operations Inc; Location: Provo, UT ; Date: 2003;).

The Pilgrimage of Grace was a popular revolt beginning in Yorkshire in October 1536, before spreading to other parts of Northern England including Cumberland, Northumberland, and north Lancashire, under the leadership of Robert Aske. The "most serious of all Tudor period rebellions", it was a protest against Henry VIII's break with the Catholic Church, the dissolution of the lesser monasteries, and the policies of the King's chief minister, Thomas Cromwell, as well as other specific political, social, and economic grievances.[2] Following the suppression of the short-lived Lincolnshire Rising of 1536, the traditional historical view portrays the Pilgrimage as "a spontaneous mass protest of the conservative elements in the North of England angry with the religious upheavals instigated by King Henry VIII".
