According to information passed on to me by Ian Caldwell, in Dec 2001: "Anne St.Leger (1476-1526), daughter of Anne Plantagenet and Sir Thomas St.Leger, married Sir George Manners, Lord Ros, (12th Baron Ros or Roos) (1470-1513).

Anne never knew her mother, but through her had become a great heiress, and her father was executed when she was about 6 or 7. I wonder who looked after her and brought her up? Before her marriage her husband Sir George Manners had become 12th Baron Ros of Hamlake on the death of his mother in 1487. George's mother was the eldest sister and co-heiress of Edmund, 11th Lord Ros of Hamlake, Triesbut and Belvoir.

Sir George, her son, was a distinguished soldier and was knighted by the earl of Surrey on the Scottish expedition of 1497 when he was 27. He died at the siege of Tournay on 12th October 1513 at the age of 43, and effigies of Sir George and his wife lie on top of their tomb in the Rutland Chapel at St.George's Chapel, Windsor".
