Elizabeth Somerset, Countess of Worcester (c.1476-c.1513)

Elizabeth Somerset, Countess of Worcester and 3rd Baroness Herbert (c.1476 – c.1513) was the daughter of William Herbert, 2nd Earl of Pembroke and his first wife, Mary Woodville.

She married Charles Somerset, 1st Earl of Worcester on June 2, 1492. Their only son was Henry Somerset, 2nd Earl of Worcester.

As her father had no sons, Elizabeth succeeded to the barony in 1491, but could not succeed to the earldom.

Elizabeth died some time between January 29, 1509 and March 21, 1513, and was buried in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
