Hieronimo Custodis oil on panel Private Collection According to historian John S. Edwards: Mary Rogers was the daughter of George Rogers of Cannington, Sommerset. The Harington and the Rogers families had probably become acquainted initially through their mutual connections at court. George Rogers’ father was Sir Edward Rogers (d. 1568), Elizabeth’s Vice-Chamberlain, Comptroller of the Royal Household, and captain of the guard from the first days of the reign, as well as a privy councilor. Though George Rogers appears not to have had such an illustrious career, he did possess significant wealth as his father’s sole heir, and thus the marriage was a very advantageous one for young Harington.
