Anne Knollys (known, after her marriage, as Anne West, Lady De La Warr) (1553–30 August 1608) was a lady at the court of Queen Elizabeth I of England.

Biography

Anne Knollys was the third daughter of Sir Francis Knollys, Treasurer of the Royal Household (1514–1596) to Queen Elizabeth I, and his wife Lady Catherine Carey.

Her maternal grandparents were Sir William Carey and Lady Mary Boleyn. Mary was a sister of Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII of England. Anne Knollys' mother was thus a first cousin of Queen Elizabeth, daughter of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII. Mary Boleyn had preceded her more famous sister in the King's affections, and had affairs with both Francis I of France and Henry VIII. Both Catherine Carey and Henry Carey may have been Henry's children, although we are unsure of their exact dates of birth. This would make Anne the granddaughter of Henry VIII.

On 19 November 1571 at Wherwell in Hampshire where they subsequently lived, she was married to Thomas West, 2nd Baron De La Warr, with whom she had thirteen children:

*Walsingham West, died young.
*Elizabeth West (b. 1573), married 1. Sir Herbert Pelham of Michelham; and 2. Richard Saltonstall.
*Robert West (b. 1574), married Elizabeth Coks. Predeceased his father.
*Margarey West (b. 1576), married Samuel Johnson.
*Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr (1577-1618), married Lady Cecily Shirley.
*Lettice West (b. 1579), married Sir Henry Ludlow.
*Anne West (b. 1581), married John Pellet (Esq.).
*Penelope West (b. 1582), married Herbert Pelham (Esq.).
*Catherine West (b. 1583), married Nickolas Strelby.
*Francis West, Governor of Virginia (b. 1586-1634), married 1. Lady Margaret Reeves; 2. Lady Jane Davye; and 3. Lady Temperance Flowerdew
*Helena West (b. 1587), married William Savage.
*John West, Governor of Virginia (1590-1659), married Lady Anne Percy.
*Nathaniel West, (Lt. Col.) (1592-1623), married Frances Greville.

The state of Delaware is named after Anne's son, Thomas West, baron de la Warre.
