She married George Digby when he was heir to John Digby, 1st Earl of Bristol.[1] The 1st Earl was executed by order of Parliament in 1653, and George succeeded to the earldom while an exile at the court of the future King Charles II of England in Holland. Together they had four children:
- John Digby, 3rd Earl of Bristol (c.1635-1698), who was married twice: first, to Alice Bourne, and second, to Rachael Wyndham, and had no children from either marriage.
- Francis Digby (d. 1672), died unmarried.
- Diana Digby, who, in 1658, married Rene de Mol, Baron de Herent (died 1691), a nobleman of Flanders and had issue, including Jean-Baptiste, Baron de Herent, who was later styled "Comte de Bristole". Like her father she was a convert to Catholicism.
