In 1567 Paget married Katherine Knyvet, sister of the courtiers
Henry Paget and Katherine Knyvet had a daughter, Elizabeth, who was four months old when Paget died on 28 December 1568. Since Paget died without male issue, it has generally been thought that the title passed immediately to his brother, Thomas, as 3rd Baron Paget. However, according to a decision of the House of Lords in 1770, Henry Paget was succeeded in the title in 1568 by his daughter, Elizabeth, and it was not until 1570 that his brother, Thomas, became Lord Paget.[5]
Paget's widow, Katherine, married Sir Edward Carey of Aldenham, Hertfordshire, by whom she had several children, including Henry Carey, 1st Viscount Falkland.[6]
