In May 1555 katherine Dudley was married to a nobleman that served as President of the Council of the North beginning in what year?
Katherine Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon Katherine Hastings (née Dudley), Countess of Huntingdon (c. 1538 or 1543–1545 – 14 August 1620) was an English noblewoman. She was the youngest surviving daughter of John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland and his wife, Jane Guildford, and a sister of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, Elizabeth I's favourite. Katherine Dudley was betrothed or married on 25 May 1553 at a very young age to Henry Hastings, the heir of Francis Hastings, 2nd Earl of Huntingdon. From her mother's will it appears that she was still under 12 years of age in January 1555, and a clause regarding her marriage implies that the match could still be dissolved: "if it so chance that my Lord Hastings do refuse her or she him".
Neville–Neville feud The Neville–Neville feud was an inheritance dispute which took place in the North of England during the early fifteenth century between two branches of the Neville family. After the death of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland in 1425, the feud continued through the 1430s, until 1443. It was caused by the transfer of lands and titles to the earl of Westmorland's second wife, Joan Beaufort, and her children. Many of the Neville family holdings were transferred through legal means to Joan's eldest son Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, in effect disinheriting Westmorland's issue from his first wife. The title earl of Westmorland passed to the issue of Ralph's first marriage for legal reasons, but many holdings, particularly those of the Neville patrimony in Yorkshire and Raby Castle in Durham were transferred to Joan and her children. The Nevilles had many estates, but their main residence seems to have been Raby Castle. The House of Beaufort was able to consolidate their control over the County Palatine of Durham when Joan's youngest son, Robert Neville, assumed office as Bishop of Durham in 1437.
