After the arrest of her brother Edward, his youngest four daughters were placed in Elizabeth's care in 1552 and she was in return supported financially. However, Elizabeth seemed to have been unable to cope with the task and was eventually freed from the agreement the following year.		In 1551, Gregory Cromwell died of sweating sickness.
