After Edward's death in 1544, Isabel married Sir James Stumpe of Malmesbury, Wiltshire.[1] James had been her step-daughter Bridget's husband, and Isabel and James married after Bridget died in 1545. James died in 1563.[3]
The leases of many manors such as Paddington, Temple Rockley, and Chisbury were given to Edward Baynton during his marriage to Isabel.[5] Some leases were given to Isabel after Edward Baynton's death, and they passed on to their son Henry.[5]
On New Year's Day 1534, Isabel made a gift of a shirt to the King, embroidered with gold thread, following a gesture that had first been made by Edward's first wife Elizabeth.[5] Isobel continued to take part in the New Year's Day gift exchange at court. In 1539 she received a silver gilt "cruse" (a cup with a cover), made by the goldsmith Morgan Wolf, and gave Henry another shirt, of Holland linen embroidered with black silk.[6]
Isabel Baynton became one of Catherine Howard's Ladies of the Privy Chamber upon her marriage to Henry VIII.[5] Her husband Edward Baynton was Vice-Chamberlain of the Household to all of Henry VIII's later queens,[2] including Catherine Howard. When Queen Catherine was banished from court in 1541, Isabel was one of the four ladies-in-waiting she was allowed to take with her.[5][7] An account of the jewels that was taken following the Queen's arrest noted that she had given a "girdle of goldsmith's work" to the Lady Baynton.[5][8]
For a short time, from April 1539, Isabel and Edward Baynton served as guardians in charge of the households of Mary I of England, and Elizabeth I.[9][5]
Later life and death
In 1550, Isabel obtained a lease for the dissolved monastery at Edington, Wiltshire with Edward Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings of Loughborough.[5] An interest in the manor of Faulston near Salisbury was declined by Isabel, but after her death in February 1573 the interest was taken up by her son Henry.[5]
