Abstract
Katherine Willoughby, (later Brandon and Bertie), Duchess of Suffolk (1519–1580) was an influential patron of reformist clerics and writers during the English Reformation. Politically active from the late 1540s until her death, she sponsored inexpensive editions of the Bible in English, employed Miles Coverdale, and promoted the sermons of Hugh Latimer. Collectively, the texts that bore her name leave a record of a Politically engaged life, lived through the turmoil of religious, political, and cultural change in sixteenth-century England.
