 Lady Jane Grey - LoveToKnow 1911
Of this marriage came two daughters, the elder of whom, Lady Frances Brandon, was married to Henry Grey, marquess of Dorset; and their issue, again, consisted of daughters only.
When about ten years old she was placed for a time in the household of Thomas, Lord Seymour, who, having obtained her wardship, induced her parents to let her stay with him, even after the death of his wife, Queen Catherine Parr, by promising to marry her to his nephew, King Edward VI.
Lord Seymour, however, was attainted of high treason and beheaded in 1549, and his brother, the duke of Somerset, made some overtures to the marquess of Dorset to marry her to his son the earl of Hertford.

 Thomas Wolsey - LoveToKnow 1911
Dorset's beneficent intentions for his sons' pedagogue probably suggested Wolsey's ordination as priest at Marlborough on March ro, 1498, and on October io, r50o, he was instituted, on Dorset's presentation, to the rectory of Limington in Somerset.
At Limington he came into conflict with law and order as represented by the sheriff, Sir Amias Paulet, who is said by Cavendish to have placed Wolsey in the stocks; Wolsey retaliated long afterwards by confining Paulet to his chambers in the Temple for five or six years.
Dorset died in 1501, but Wolsey found other patrons in his pursuit of wealth and fame.

 Margrave Origin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The second creation was in favour of John Beaufort, Earl of Somerset, who was created Marquess of Dorset; eldest of the legitimated sons of John of Gaunt by Katherine Swynford, the father of Joan Beaufort and father-in-law of James II of Scotland.
This Marquisate did not survive as the Marquess was degraded of his honours on succession of Henry IV in 1399.
It seems that the dignity of Marquess derived from the Military Office of Keeper of the Frontiers, or the Marches, of a Kingdom - a ''Marckgrave''/ ''Margrave''.

 Henry GREY (1° D. Suffolk)
This lady's ancestry combined royal and middle-class blood and, from her husband's point of view, her kinship with the King was of incalculable value; its results were to prove fatal to every member of the family but herself.
As the Dorsets' position was one of the highest, the only way of raising her daughter Jane's social status was to place her with Queen Catherine Parr.
As soon as he was arrested the Dorsets removed Lady Jane to Bradgate, having supplied the Privy Council with all the evidence they needed and thus exculpating themselves.

 Jane Shore
Afterwards she was mistress of the queen's oldest son Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset, and of William, 1st Lord Hastings, who was convicted of treason and executed in the Tower of London on 18 June 1483.
Jane was required to do an open penance at Paul's Cross for her promiscuous behavior, though this may have been motivated by suspiscion she had harbored Dorset when he was a fugitive.
She accordingly went in her kirtle through the streets one Sunday with a taper in her hand, attracting a lot of male attention all along the way.

 Thomas Wolsey
Thomas was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford; but the details of his university career are doubtful owing to the defectiveness of the university and college registers.
Dorset's beneficent intentions for his sons' pedagogue probably suggested Wolsey's ordination as priest at Marlborough on March 10, 1498, and on October 10, 1500, he was instituted, on Dorset's presentation, to the rectory of Limington in Somerset.
His connection with Magdalen had perhaps terminated with his resignation of the bursarship, though he supplicated for the degrees of B.D. and D.D. in 1510; and the college appears to have derived no advantage from Wolsey's subsequent greatness.

It was introduced to England by Richard II, brother-in-law of the Margrave of Brandenburg, the honour being conferred upon Robert de Vere, Earl of Oxford, who became Marquess of Dublin in 1385.

When John Beaufort, Marquess of Dorset, was attainted and the House of Commons appealed to Richard II for it's restoration, Beaufort begged the King not to restore this particular title "as the name of Marquess is a strange name in this realm."

 Pepys' Diary: Shore, Jane
She attracted the notice of Edward IV., and soon after 1470, leaving her husband, she became the king’s mistress.
Edward called her the merriest of his concubines, and she exercised great influence; but, says More, " never abused it to any man’s hurt, but to many a man’s comfort and relief." After Edward’s death she was mistress to Thomas Grey, marquess of Dorset, son of Elizabeth Woodville by her first husband.
She also had relations with William Hastings, and may perhaps have been the intermediary between him and the Woodvilles.
