Description
Elizabeth and Annne Stafford
Anne Hastings, neé Stafford:
"Anne entered into an affair with King Henry VIII around 1510, only one year after Henry wed Catherine of Aragon, and one year after Anne married Lord Hastings. Their adultery became a scandal when made public. Her brother, the Duke of Buckingham, was enraged. Her husband, Lord George Hastings, sent her to a convent. There are suggestions that her relationship with the King continued until 1513, however.

Afterward, Anne was involved with the man who had been the go-between during her relationship with the king – Sir William Compton. He included her in his will in 1522, leaving her many lands. He died in 1528 of the sweating sickness." (wikipedia)

Elizabeth Radclyffe Countess of Sussex neé Stafford
"In 1510, one of the sisters of the Duke - either Elizabeth or her sister Anne Stafford, Countess of Huntingdon, became the mistress of Henry VIII. The woman's husband took her off to a convent and the Duke refused to stay under Henry's roof. The Imperial ambassador, Eustace Chapuys unfortunately does not name the sister, although it is likely to have been the adventurous Anne, who later lived quite openly in adultery with William Compton who was both the King's close friend and a man who helped Henry arrange his liaisons with his lovers, even giving over his own house in Thames Street for this purpose. It is said that the virtuous sister, probably Elizabeth, told both her brother and Queen Katherine of Aragon of the affair, causing the arguments at court. She and her husband were dismissed from court temporarily." wikipedia
