Elizabeth Wray, 3rd Baroness Norreys (née Norris; c. 1603 – 28 November 1645), was an English noblewoman. She was the wife of Edward Wray, Groom of the Bedchamber to King James I of England, with whom she eloped in 1622, and incurred the king's displeasure as she was his ward. Elizabeth and her elopement was allegedly the inspiration for Orlando Gibbons Fantazies.[1]
