On 20 August 1547, Bess married the twice-widowed Sir [[William Cavendish (courtier)|William Cavendish]], Treasurer of the King's Chamber,<ref name="Digby" /> and became '''Lady Cavendish'''. The wedding took place at two o'clock in the morning, at the home of the [[Grey family]], friends of the couple. Sir William was more than twice Bess's age and the father of two daughters. His fortune had been made following the [[Dissolution of the Monasteries]], since as an official of the [[Court of Augmentations]] he was able to select choice properties for himself. Possibly acting on Bess's advice, Sir William sold his lands in the south of England and bought the Chatsworth estates in her home county of [[Derbyshire]]. Sir William Cavendish died on 25 October 1557, leaving Bess widowed a second time and in deep debt to the Crown. Upon his death, Bess claimed the sum of his property, having insisted that his land be settled on their heirs.
The eight children of the marriage, two of whom died in infancy, were as follows:<ref>[http://roglo.eu/roglo?lang=en;i=4306713 Genealogy Database by Daniel de Rauglaudre] (retrieved 23 December 2012).</ref>
