Their children were:

• Francis, Lord Talbot (died 1582) who married Anne Herbert, a daughter of the William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Anne Parr, but had no children. "Lord Talbot" was a courtesy title, being one of his father's lesser titles. Francis, Lord Talbot's wife Anne Herbert was a niece of Katherine Parr, the sixth Queen of King Henry VIII.
• Gilbert Talbot, 7th Earl of Shrewsbury, who married his step-sister Mary Cavendish and had three daughters.
• Henry Talbot (1563–1596), who married Elizabeth Rayner and had two daughters.

• Mary Talbot, who married Sir George Savile, 1st Baronet of Barrowby, Lincolnshire, and had one son
• Grace Talbot, who married her step-brother Henry Cavendish (1550–1616), son of Sir William Cavendish of Chatsworth in Derbyshire by his wife Elizabeth Hardwick, in another double marriage of siblings; they had no children.

The Countess died when her children were still young, and was buried in the family vault in Sheffield on 16 January 1567. A few months later, her widower began a courtship of their friend and neighbour, the thrice-widowed Bess of Hardwick, which culminated in their marriage.
